a definite loss for Tennessee and God's gift to all things football? I see a lot of talk about how they're going to kill us, they're a definite loss, we will be lucky to score on them, etc. I seriously don't think the Georgia/SC game represents the talent gap between those two teams. South Carolina was firing on all cylinders, and Georgia went full retard

from the beginning. Remember this is the same South Carolina team that beat Vandy by 4 (and Vandy got boned on a last minute PI no-call), and let Kentucky drop 17 on them (Louisville held them to 14, and Florida shut them out)

I may be wrong, they may win the east, but personally I think Florida manhandles them. I feel the same way about them I did two weeks ago, only now I see that they have a stronger A-game than I might have though. But I also think if we can bring our A-game, we have the potential to beat anybody.

Yay/nay?

Our defense has to play a lot better to have a chance IMO. It's hard for me to imagine our defense being able to contain Shaw and Lattimore running.

I think UGA's O gave them the emotion and strive against the vols pittiful D. I think that UT's O should be very compeditive against USCe D. I don't know if we can stop shaw or not, but I still don't know why people keep dropping back worried about routes longer than 20 yards with him. I say come off the edge on him all day.

Vandy/UK were both road games, so they may not travel well, we'll know after the next 2 weeks. They beat Mizzou and UGA by a combined 66-17 at home.

Let's see....UT plays Miss St, then Bama, then S. Carolina.

Who in the hell knows what this team will look like in 2.5 weeks? They may be riding high or the low of lows.

Their defense is playing great. I think Shaw will give us fits running around. Just don't like our chances.

On paper I never "liked our chances". But I was never ready to call them a sure loss. And I'm still not. If we hammer MS State and LSU beats SC, I will feel confident.

I think you all match up waaaaayyyyy better against SCAR. My Dawgs just didn't show up, not that we can't whip their azzes, but u gotta show up first. UT's o line will be the big equalizer, and Bray will be able to pick their secondary apart. Starts with your line tho, and it is a good one! Fwiw, I hope you beat the unholy hell outa the cocks! They are the most obnoxious fan base in the SEC definitely. By the way, that was their best game ever, don't expect them to bring that intensity every week. Go Vols!

I think South Carolina beats Florida easily, and has possibly the best chance anyone has to beat Bama this year. Their defensive line is as good as any in recent memory, and you gotta remember Lattimore makes that offense go. He was coming off an ACL and was a little timid early in the year, but against Georgia, he was running, and cutting, hard. I think Richt definitely coached like a baffoon, but I also believe if they played 100 times, South Carolina wins 95.

Exactly. And like I said in my original post, they are not a 35-7 better team than y'all. Play each other 10 times and I guarantee if Georgia doesn't win at least 4-5, they keep it very close.

The UT game will be the first home game for them since UGA, the place will be jumping if they are 8-0.

Georgia just couldn't block them for whatever reason.. I've seen a few teams that have...

I guess it's selective whatever you wanna call it. Did anybody watch them play Vandy or UK? They are definitely beatable.

We can hold our ground with Bama and SC for a little while if our D comes to play. Against UGA 70% of their rush yards were on three plays...that means they basically struggled a good bit besides those three plays...we can stop the run IF we are lined up right.
We can beat SC...I know I sound stupid but I like our OL, they have held their ground pass wise and run wise they are figuring it out. We can certainly beat SCs Secondary...
People dont realize that Aaron Murrays Dad was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer on Friday. Its no wonder he had an off game. Hell I would too

I dont see Alabama being a definite loss... look back a few years ago when Lane was here. Stocker put us in position to win and we are better now then we were then!
