3-0 Go Vols

Matchups. Their only weakness is the one we can't exploit which is the secondary UNLESS one or two of our WR's steps up and torches them. Their offensive line is probably the best in the SEC and we have to try to contain a ton of speedsters. AND, it's in Gainesville. Yes, we have had some success there but I just can't imagine pulling this one off. Just a gut feeling.

Your gut is wrong.

Your gut is wrong.

Then how do we win this game?

Their only weakness? They say the LB's will be better but Rivals has a true Fr and two So listed as the starters and only have one back up listed. They'll need depth and it isn't there.

Their secondary is in bad shape but the DL is no better. They replace all but one starter and will have 3 Freshmen in the two deep. One starting DE was a squad player last year.

And they aren't big. The tackles are about 280. The guy who was squad last year is listed at 212.

Their offensive line is probably the best in the SEC

Again until you start talking about depth. Behind the starters are a bunch of Freshmen.

and we have to try to contain a ton of speedsters.

How exactly is that different from last year?

AND, it's in Gainesville. Yes, we have had some success there but I just can't imagine pulling this one off. Just a gut feeling.

Your gut may be right but your facts are off.

Run at their thin front 7 and blitz like crazy to disrupt the backfield and get into the back up OL's.

3-0 100%

DITTO!!!!! :rock:

If this no-huddle works likes its supposed to, UF isnt going to be able to go to whatever depth at whatever position on defense.

If it tanks on Saturday, then its a moot point

 

[VolFan1978]

1-2 with a real possibility of 0-3. Sorry to be so pessimistic but Cal simply wasn't ready for Neyland last year--I think they would have beaten us on a neutral field late in the year. I don't see Fulmer beating Pee Wee Herman in Gainesville. Southern Miss is a good team, making it the ultimate trap game.

 

[TravisHenryCBlockedMe]

My heart says 2-1 but my head says 1-2.

 

[givem6]

3-0

 

[Bobby Dodd]

3-0. Optimism is a good thing.

 

[Cartervol]

With the recent developement's ainge's broken finger to be exact.If i had money on it, i would now have to say 1-2.As much as that pains me to say.On this one i hope i'am wrong.

 

[orangeblooded_2]

Just a thought: It'd be a real letdown if the VOLS are 2-1 after the first 3, with the loss to USM

 

[Owlbino]

3-0 is fairly likely. More likely than 2-1 if you ask me.

I've thought for quite a while that Florida is probably the most guaranteed of the three games. It's about time for a Tennessee win (averages), our rushing attack is better, and our defense is better than their defense (should be)

Southern Miss is an overlook type-game that we'll have more of a chance of losing if we beat Cal. Cal depends entirely on who shows up, because it's a pretty even match-up in a lot of areas.

This team we have has a lot more swagger than it had last year. Most players have really good attitudes about it, and the areas with the most potential strength( unproven talent) have a lot of competition, including the DBs, WRs, and RBs. Having a senior quarterback always helps too.

I don't see Fulmer beating Pee Wee Herman in Gainesville.

CPF has won 2 out of the last 3 in the swamp.

 

[lawgator1]

Start 2-0, but you will then be 2-1.

 

[crazyguy]

Start 2-0, but you will then be 2-1.

:crazy: :boxing2:

 

[dduncan4163]

3-0 all the way. Go Vols

 

[InfamousGator]

2-1 no doubt.

 

[jwells]

3-0, piece of cake.
