I think it will be extremely difficult saturday on offense. We all know how Florida is going to play us, 8 or 9 in the box with press coverage on the WRs. Blitzing every 2nd and 3rd and long. I would say that Florida's DC could probably send his playbook to Clawson and i just dont see where he is going to have an answer for it. How do we beat their defense? And dont just say run because we all know that they are going to be ready for the run.

Our D Line has looked good IMO up to now, but after seeing what happended to UCLA and only being up 14 nothing at half against UAB...This game could get ugly quick.

Don't follow the same game plan that we always do start with trickery, just don't do what we always do and it will throw them off then go back to what we do after they make adjustments. Put Eric Berry in the slot for a couple of plays so that they will focus on him. Anything but the norm.!!! If we can get them out of rythm then we have a shot at the game.

Whats the best way to beat an aggressive defense?

Having a QB that can stay calm and hit his hots is the best way. Also misdirection.

But the single biggest question I have is can JC handle the pressure. Also will our RB's be able to handle being the hot during the blitz and will the Oline give JC that extra second to hit the hot? If the answer is yes you will see the defense pull back quickly.

More often than not doing things that you are not good at gets you beat. Trickery is not our gig and more often than not it falls flat. I think the way to beat their defense is simple. The question is can we handle it and execute.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>

We also need to hit the seam routes along with some post patterns. We never attack the middle of the field anymore.

In some ways, I think Crompton's personality puts him in a better place mentally for this game than the previous two. I am looking (hoping? Deluding myself? Dreaming?) for Crompton to put up or shut up. This game is his career at UT. This game will define who he is and later was in his first year as a starter at UT.

A QB that has shown inaccuracy like JC has will throw a lot of picks going over the middle especially deep down the middle.

Last year EA threw to the middle quite a bit.

To me, this is the most underrated part of Florida's approach to this game. Florida's defense managed to harrass the Miami QB. Now he was inexperienced, more so than even JC, but he seemed a lot more composed at times. Add to that the fact that Miami's line averages 319 lbs., and I do think Florida's pass rush will be significant.

UT is probably going to thrown in some screen plays to the RBs, some quick slants to the WRs, to take advantage of the rush. I assume that Florida will account for that obvious modification to your gameplan and play tight and inside on the WRs, make JC throw deep down the sidelines. He'll complete a couple, but not enough to make a difference..

I think he is referring to the pressure of the magnitude of the game for Tennessee, and the pressure from the fans as well.

A hot that will crush blitzes (if executed) is over the middle into the teeth of the blitz to the RB/FB especially if the DB are playing tight. It only takes a few of those.

JC is the big question no doubt. I'm not convinced he will be able to handle it. Stunt blitzes still seem to mess with him.

No, LG was on target for what I meant. If the fans get to him then he is weaker minded than I gave him credit for. Usually the players don't pay that much attention outside stuff this early. If they are we are in for a VERY long season.

Screen plays and slants is what we do now. And trickery has worked for us in the pass we have a couple of former QB's (in high school) that have been moved to other positions. JC's accuracy got a little better against UAB but the drops by Stocker and Rogers were killers. Stocker droped one that might have went for a touchdown. He was under alot pressure at UCLA also so we can expect his output to be the same as it was that game.

From what I've seen of young Crompton he will show up and try. After the 3rd punt we'll be looking at other qb options. I'd love to be pleasantly shocked and hope for it, but I don't think he has the mechanics, confidence, or guts to hang tough against the Gator D.

At least Nick Stephens completed one over the middle in the 15 to 20 yard range and hit the reciever in stride also he scrambled better than JC in the UAB game. I would have JC on a short leash and competing for his starting job. I know that NS doesn't have alot of playing time but neither did JC before the start of the season.

Lucas Taylor had the majority of his receiving yards on screens. Foster had a 20 + yarder off a screen.

Just some food for thought.

Yeah... Stephens looked good... And i know Crompton missed warren twice over the middle, but he also had a possible TD and atleast a big gain dropped. Stocker's gotta realize the situation he's in... we need him to step up. Warren's trying to and isn't getting the ball.

We can run on them, fight for extra yardage. But the whole game i don't wanna see played as a "just get the next first down" sorta strategy... we're gonna have to try and connect on a big play, even if it is a screen that we think will work perfectly.

I disagree. Milk the clock like an udder. Tebow and crew can't do damage on the sideline. 4 yards a play baby.

I'm exaggerating a little. Some big gainers would be nice, but if Tennessee can control the clock it would make things a lot easier.

Its interesting but both teams, even two games into the season, are still not very well defined. I expect that we will all have a lot to talk about Saturday night. Florida will know if it is a national championship contender or pretender. UT will know whether the team is moving in the right direction and whether it has an RB that is going to step up and carry the load until JC gets his sea legs.

Very true. The team with the highest rushing total wins this game. We have got to make Florida chuck it downfield and let our playmakers do their thing.

Yes he had some dropped but he also missed some open recievers by a lot and should have had 2 more picks but the DB's dropped them.

There is no one who wants the kid to do good more than I. I just have not seen anything to make me feel comfortable with him at QB.

And as far as trick plays go, use a few but mostly you need to rely on a set style of offense.

I understand that, and i love the thought of just running the ball 10 times a drive, but i just mean... throw a playaction deep, throw a little screen in. I'm not saying go shotgun and put it in crompton's hands, i'm just saying we can't be afraid to say "we have a play that can score right here, run a fly route and catch the football"
