My post was in half jest. But the post that was subject to his comment was not off-topic in this thread at all. Suspensions are completely relevant to this game.

The post he made was originally in a separate thread that had no business being in the RF at all. It was later merged into this one.

A few predictions for Saturday:

-A highly touted UF player who hasn't done much this season will have a breakout game

-We will get screwed by the refs at least twice on critical plays (likely a bogus PI call on us and a missed hold/false start by UF on a big play)

-We will make at least one unforced boneheaded error (kickoff out of bounds, 10 yard punt, pick six, fumbled handoff, etc)

-Our special teams advantage will vanish and possibly even swing the other way

-The Gators will hit a big play that ignites their offense and gets the crowd back into the game right when it looks like we might pull away

-We will start slow and the Gators will go up 7-0 early and everyone will panic (but we will still win the game)

Nah. The Gators' offense won't move the ball consistently on us. We will be in control most of the game, but they will make enough plays/we will have enough penalties and mistakes to keep them in it for longer than they should be.

We still pull away at the end.

Oof. Let's just say that Mark Schlabach doesn't think very highly of Butch Jones, nor does he like our chances in the Swamp:

"History suggests the Volunteers don't have a chance at beating the Gators in The Swamp on Saturday. Florida has defeated Tennessee 10 straight times, including a 10-9 victory at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville last season. Let's face it: If UT couldn't beat UF last season, it might never beat the Gators again. When the SEC puts together highlights of its greatest games, Florida's one-point victory over the Vols from last season definitely won't be included. The teams combined for six turnovers and fewer than 500 yards of offense. UT blew a 9-0 lead in the fourth quarter. Florida was there for the taking, but the Volunteers couldn't finish the deal, which seems to be a long-running theme under coach Butch Jones."

Man versus metric: Winning streaks don't matter to the metrics

This kinda noise will only get louder if we don't get it done this week.

Gotta win.

Got to.

Nothing else matters.

Wasn't Gantz committed to us?

It sounds like it, we had a couple kickers and punters commit and switch last couple years. Then we went after Medley over the wunderlich(sp?) kid at ole miss.
Which both were rated like 1 and 2 for k/p. Medley has the leg, he just needs to relax and kick

Though we have had some games we didn't finish, he can't whitewash the two years we were underdogs to USCjr (one of which they were highly touted) and beat them (both in comeback dramatic fashion). You could throw in the UGA game two years back with the pig fumble even though we didn't win it. It's at least progress from the Dooley coached teams of "lay down before halftime".

How will you celebrate when the Vols drain the swamp?


I'm going to play Where's Waldo only with Gator fans in the Nashville area. They are going to disappear like a fart in the wind.

I'm afraid the offense is going to be ultra conservative

On the flip side, that wins if we execute and force turnovers.

Vols- 20
Gators- 9

Hurd and Kamara need no less than 50 touches combined in this one.

Can't shoot yourself in the foot. No mental mistakes. Clean football.

VQ said Kamara's involvement in the game plan has been ramped up. So look for a good deal of 6 on Saturday.

If our offense is ultra conservative, we lose. We now have experienced talent at skill positions. If you want to make it to the SEC Championship, you better let them loose. The stretch we're about to go down, those teams will certainly be opening up their playbooks against. We better not be running the same delayed hand off every other down. Attack!
