So you think UT scores 62 points on Saturday?

I wonder if Florida would quit if TN hung 62 on them like the Vols quit when FL hung 59 on them a few of years ago?

I wonder if Florida would quit if TN hung 62 on them like the Vols quit when FL hung 59 on them a couple of years ago?

That would suck.

Vols quarterback Tyler Bray, off to a torrid start (73.8 percent completions, six touchdowns, no interceptions) will face stiffer resistance from the Gators' D, but he'll certainly be more productive than Florida's Jeff Driskel.

Love this.

I must say, i am not used to the media picking the vols.. Not sure I like it.

We will be lucky to score 30. This is an SEC defense with tons of speed, not GA St. Bray and his offense will be tested all game and will earn every yard they get. This is a. Very good, fast defense. I will be the first once to say you were right if it happens and hope like hell we give them 7yrs of beatings worth of an ass kicking but highly doubt we blow them out and run up and down the field on them. But again I would love to hang 50+ on them but would take a 2-0 win. Just wanna keep adding to streaks UT is ending this yr. Go Vols!

Why not predictions mean nothing, go play the game and well see who is better.

Not sure if you are being serious.... That sounds nice (hope you are right), but I don't see that happening. As long a UT wins, I will be happy!

We've gone 0-7 against Fl since '05 w/ the media picking the gators every time, so being cast as the underdog has not helped. I'm all for the media picking the Vols this time.

You're going to be disappointed then.

It's about time we were favored, but mainly about time we win

On a side note, my brother in Texas pointed out that Texas A&M has a history of running out of gas and/or blowing leads in the second half, and we noticed that's exactly what happened in the UF game. A&M looked dominant the first half, but Florida hung around until things stated to click for them the second half and the momentum turned...

He went 4-6 last week...this may not be a good thing.

Like he picked the Vols but his record ain't that great either. At least this week he's on the right track.
