You also have Tony Romo, who threw 34 Ints in three seasons at E. Illinois and Joe Flacco with 15 in two years at Delaware. Steve McNair threw 31 in 3 seasons and 16 his senior year at Alcorn St. Ben Roethlisberger had 34 in 3 years at Miami(OH), Kurt Warner had 27, Doug Williams had 93, Carson Wentz had 67, Phil Simms had 45, Chad Pennington had 45, Jon Kitna had 59, Jimmy Garoppolo had 54, Jeff Garcia had 34(16 his Senior year), Rich Gannon had 32, Daunte Culpepper had 37. How many "outliers" do you want?

Potential losses
Uga
Bama
Florida
Ou
Cuse

I think we beat OU and Cuse… Florida in the swamp it has to happen some day but I’ll never count it as a w until it happens… I think we get UGA at a great time at home I just don’t know what the Qb situation looks like and Kirby has heups number and always has his team amped to play us… bama at bama is tricky because I think we can go toe to toe with them but on the road in sec is tough… I’m leaning 9-3 but really want 10-2 and another playoff berth.

I see zero chance we lose to Syracuse, they have more issues than us, but stranger things have happened to us on the road under Heupel. OU,Fla,Ala and GA are definitely potential losses. Definitely question marks with all 4 of them .I'm leaning 9-3 too, which means no playoff with how soft our schedule is. We've gotta win all our home games and beat Syracuse, go 10-2 then we should make the playoffs.

How is using Josh Allen using my orange colored glasses? I showed you it's Happened before and definitely can again. And to be showing orange tint, I'd actually be having to say JA will be a good QB, which I didn't. Learn the meaning of things before running your suck! Gonna dumb this down for you in the most simplest of terms, please try to keep up. What I'm saying is, instead of judging JA on what he did with a bad team with probably the worst Olines in college football, reserve judgement until you see him play on a team that he won't have to throw it 40 times a game. If **** has happened once, or this case numerous times, it definitely can again. Nor will he be behind every game at TN. Quit acting like you actually know something, when we all know you don't. This can be revisited in October!

Josh Allen has happened once in the history of football. Sure, it can happen, but the odds are not in his favor. Not sure why you're so angry. It's jmo.

I think we will have either better depth or better talent at most positions this year compared to last year.

OL - better and deeper
TE - better and deeper
RB - deeper
WR - better
QB - ?

DE - deeper
DT - neither
LB - better and deeper
CB - better and deeper
Safety - same
Kickers - same

All the QB has to do is hit the wide open deep balls that Nico couldn't hit to save his life and we should have a good year.

Haahaa.. Well, you'd be wrong again. Deshaun Watson, who won a NC threw 17 Int's his final year and 30 his last 2 years. He threw 30 Int's his last 30 games and the only thing he did was win a NC. Jameis Winston threw 28 Int's his 27 games and won a NC. So, no it wasn't just Josh Allen. Not angry at all, I promise it would take more than you to do that. I just love proving people that think they know everything wrong. BTW, Watson,Allen and Winston were all 1st Rd picks. So, it wasn't just once and Allen wasn't the only one. I'm sure if I had time to find more there would be many others. Oh, and Dan Marino threw 60 Int's in his college career. Ty Detmer threw 65 in his college career and won the Heisman. Should I keep going?

I thought he said best under Heupel. No one would say it’s the best in Tennessee history. This is General Neyland’s program.

Maybe I heard him wrong. Could have sworn he said best ever in Tennessee history, but the older I get the less my hearing becomes or at least so my wife says. Lol

Kirby doesn’t have Heup’s number at all! Smart just has 5 stars everywhere! If Heup had Smart’s roster the last 4 years it would be different outcome!

Of the current NFL starting qb’s, a whopping 8 came out of the SEC and that includes Josh Dobbs and Will Levis who won’t be starting long. The SEC is far from a qb producing factory considering how many other NFL starters it produces

Kirby has the talent up front to be able to keep 2 safeties deep. He challenges us that his front is gonna stop our run game bc he knows that’s what makes us go. I don’t know if I remember us hitting a single deep ball against them the past 4 seasons. We have to run the ball against them consistently and make them bring extra guys in the box or we won’t have any success. We had moments last season where we ran it, and it was 1 possession game in the 4th quarter. We didn’t get off the field when we had opportunities. I think this season we need a complete mental and philosophical change when we play them, similar to Florida in 98. I know Heupel doesn’t like to deviate much, but this game in mid September needs to be different.

I agree but even with the talent gap the tempo doesn’t seem to affect UGA and Kirby nearly as much as others… he sends the house a lot more then most teams who just sit in base… that is the reason I said has his number but the talent gap has been very wide but we are beginning to close it.. especially on defense and in the trenches… if we can get RBs like hiter and georges along with Faizon and others… it will continue to become closer… had we had Nico still i would be much more confident about the UGA game… I still think we can beat them this year but we need whoever is the starting Qb to make some plays that give us some explosive opportunities..

Not talking about coming from SEC. Josh Allen was a 0 star recruit of our HS, had 0 D1 offers, had to go to JuCo, and only Wyoming wanted him. And won an NFL MVP. I'm not sure who else is on the list of 0 Star recruits with 0 D1 offers that won MVP, but it can't be many. If any.

"But Josh Allen did it!!" Is just a pipe dream.

You're just talking about INTs. What does that have to do with Josh Allen? He wasn't "known" for throwing picks.
