Florida game optimism

I am looking forward to watching the game, and I will be pulling for my Vols, with all I have in me. With that said, we have a snowball's chance in Hell of winning. There will be lots of QB sacks and turnovers. I do not expect JG to finish the game, on his feet. Florida may be overrated. But, whether it is due to youth, inexperience, or a talent deficit, they are still way better than us. I expect UF will beat us handily, and it will be settled, very early in the game.
It seems most people who have this viewpoint are focusing mostly on JG. Try thinking about our playmakers on defense and, recently, special teams too.

I agree and as I watched the UK/UF game I noticed UF just kept getting solid play through the 4th and actually looked stronger. They must have a good S&C program.

They practice and play in that so they're acclimated to those conditions. Games like this along with the second half of the season are where our lack of depth will be evident and problematic. We've seen the fades from this team before. All comes down to having solid depth and that takes time and recruiting.

I am hopeful if not optimistic. If we can get some breaks and not give them short fields maybe we can keep it close. I just don't see our O-Line performing very well being in a hostile environment. Maybe our defense will be able to hear their calls and get aligned correctly.

Negative ghost rider.


*but i hope you're right
Dude you better hope for your sake that we lose big time, because if we do in fact win I am going to wear you out on this forum. You absolutely will need a much bigger pacifier. We may, in fact, lose by 50 but I will never ever concede to defeat before the game is even played. I don't care how bad we are I will always expect us to win and the day that I don't is the day I stop being a fan. A lot of you think you're being realist when in fact your simply being defeatest. Being positive won't help us win but it sure as hell won't help us lose either.

I sincerely hope you can wear me out over it, seriously. I would love nothing more than to be wrong.

Here’s the inevitable set up.

Going to be an epic meltdown around here on Saturday around 2 pm.

I think you might be right. Maybe this is the year that we catch some of the lucky breaks that the gators have enjoyed for many years against us. Call me crazy (and many of you will), but I just have a good feeling about this game. GOVOLS!!

OK..OK...I was right and you was right. I was crazy.
