-MERGE IF NEEDED- Which team has the best chance of beating us in Nov? Ole Miss, or KY? Or even possibly both? I think both have a very good chance. Is it possible Vandy gets us again? Just wondering what yalls thoughts are of us actually winning out and being bowl eligible, or if the experts will actually be right about UT for once and we only get a 4 W season......I'll hang up and listen

ask again after the memphis game. I think it will depend solely on bray meshing with the offense.

Hope so, but doubt it. I think we exact revenge on Ole Mess, and UK finally snaps the streak. We crush the Tiggers, and Vandy, well, still Vandy.

Kentucky has the best shot to beat us. That said, I think we finish 3-1 in November.

Possible? yes
Probable? no
Memphis & Vandy are the two most likely wins.

As a side note, I want the Kentucky win more than any of them, more than ever. Just to show the jackhole Kentucky fans I know that even when UT sucks, they still beat UK.

If we could beat vandy and kentucky in '08 we can do it with this team. This will be our first good gauge of what DD can do!

LOL yeah would be nice, but if Vandy could touch us a few years ago ( No need to mention Cutler) KY def. has a shot this yr. I really dont know. Im a betting man and cant decide 4-0, 2-2, or 3-1 for Nov

Teams, by defensive yards per play conceded:

Memphis: 6.68
Ole Miss: 6.00
Vandy: 5.57
Kentucky: 5.79

Teams we played against in OCT:

LSU: 4.49
UGA: 5.26
Bama: 4.68
USC: 5.40

So the worst defense we played against in September is still better than the best defense we'll play from here on out. USCe provides a similar situation to what we'll see against Kentucky. USCe is very good against the run (#11 in the country) and are very weak against the pass (#105). Kentucky has a statistically good pass defense (#12). They have, however, a very weak run defense (#91). If, against Kentucky, we can get our running game going and don't commit turnovers... we win.

We can go 4-0 in November if Bray progresses well and we stay healthy. However, I think we end up going 3-1. I don't think our defense can stop Kentucky's offense and I don't think Bray can keep up in a shootout.

EDIT: Tennssee's stats, for reference:

YPP: 5.83
Passing rank: 90
Rushing rank: 83

I think Memphis and Vandy are wins. Ole Miss should be a win...they are bad, but we can't help them like we did USC jr...(by the way, how did USC jr beat bama?).

Kentucky is the wildcard--it is likely to be the biggest game of the year for us:

1) Trying to extend to 26 yrs in a row
2) Keep record going for longest winning streak over a team
We are likely to be 5-6 at the point where we play them so:
3) Try to avoid a losing season (this would be HUGE!!!!)
4) Get a bowl bid (Also HUGE)

If UT can't pull out the Kentucky win, are there any inanimate objects in your house that should be secured to prevent an ugly incident? Do you still keep your lightbulbs in a bucket?

Honestly I'd be happy with winning 3 of the games in Nov. To expect this team to win out is a bit much. I can see us winning only 2 depending on if we can cut down on turnovers or not. I just don't want to lose 8

Asking this team to be barely bowl eligible in what would prob be a very low tier bowl game is not really asking too much. It should be expected regardless of everything else.

It has been almost 1 month since I have broken anything in my house. The door is fixed and the lightbulbs are no longer in the bucket--they were all broken.
