I feel the need to start a thread on this. I understand why people are predicting a blow out. I do. But look back to last year.
Why do people seem to forget we held the mighty Tebow to 96 yds passing? Or that Crompton was 18/28 for 162 yds? Florida won that game with big plays.
This year:
I feel like our defense is a bit better this year, especially the secondary. We have better coaching and schemes that will be new to Florida. Despite our showing yesterday, our offense has shown improvement from last year. Although, returning 11 starters, Florida's D still looks sloppy and unproven. Their offense looks every bit as good as last year. No Harvin, but Rainey has looked good. If we can contain Rainey and prevent the long run, we could string this out. I don't think Tebow can beat us through the air. Did you watch him against Troy? He could take a TD pass whenever he wanted one. That secondary was terrible, while ours could be the best in the SEC. If we can limit ourselves to two interceptions, while capitalizing on Florida's fumbling problem, we can get it close. I'm confident our special teams can prevent another Brandon James TD. Florida will not, WILL NOT march up and down the field at will on us. There is no way they score 40 or more on us, and I'm even tempted to say we keep them under 30. We have to be effective and accurate in the passing game. I don't trust Crompton to throw the ball more than 15 yds in any direction. Stick with dumps out of the backfield and screens to our WRs. On D, hit hard and hit all the time. This is Florida's first game of the year. I think the Vols are more than ready.

And now if you'd like, let me know how you feel and let's see some of your favorite Vol-Gator pictures.
