Tennessee vs. Florida

The loss of the automatic tebow 1st down is legit.

The trade off is that florida might actually run a different play on 3rd and 2 and opposing defenses might actually not know what's coming.

Not to be cocky or flame or anything, but Vol fans should prepare for Florida's offense to be the best of the Meyer era, unless there are injuries to Brantley or multiple starting O-linemen. If there's any weakness for Florida this year, it's a D-line with a lot of youth and a few guys with a history of injury issues. Even with that stuff, the LBs and DBs are top notch, so scoring on UF is not going to be easy for anyone, much less a team with no O-line and no idea what to expect from their QB.

Sorry, but the only team that should compete with Florida this year is Bama, and I think UF will be able to outscore Bama with relative ease. The matchup for Florida with Bama is better, believe it or not, with this year's team rather than with Tebow running a more "controlled" type offense. UF will score big this year, and Bama's not the kind of team built for a shootout against a team with comparable talent.

There are two factors that you are missing from your post...the Vols have one of the best DC in the country against the spread CDW and the Vols, not the Gators, have Michael Palardy...this will be the difference...

Did it matter?

Nothing pissed me off more than watching Tebow just smash ahead for 4 yards and then Gator chomp back to the huddle (This is purely bitterness by the way, no need to point it out)

Is Darrell Waltrip a coach now?

I hated watching that also, glad it's not a option for them anymore.

I am pretty confident that the florida offense will be better than 2009 (but not near as good as 2008).

The o-line will be better and the wr's will be better

Is the Debose (i think that's his name) kid healthy?

Well, what I am hoping for is a non-gamer. Sometimes these highly rated kids just don't get it done when the pressure is on. The game in Neyland will def be the most pressure in his life so far- and I sure hope he cracks.

Here are some examples. USC last year. Ken Dorsey's replacement at UM (brock berlin?). Lsu after Russell.

I just hope that our teams doesn't experience this (I feel like we've paid our dues)

LSU after Russel won a national title.

Yeah.

Florida did not stretch the field vertically or horizontally last year whixh neuters the whole idea of ther spread.

But, they had a great dual threat qb and a great possession te.

But, not spreading a defense horizontally caused problems for the midgets at rb. They also had a problem at lt.

They don't have those problems this year. But, they don't have a great dual threat qb either

i hate to break it to you......but, how is tennessee the "big stage" right now?

and

do we really have to pretend going to neyland stadium and winning is a problem?

UGA is a big stage, Bama is a big stage, LSU is a big stage because they are all top tier SEC programs. I already explained why its going to effect Brantley. He has yet to take a meaningful snap where his decisions arent made against a motivationless defense or effect the grand outcome of the game. Youre an idiot if you honestly believe playing in Neyland isnt a big stage. :no:

Im not saying he is going to suck. I am, however, leaving the door open to it. Crompton had it all in practice and when he saw the field it went sour. He did fine in meaningless snaps. We'll see what happens. Thats why i said its a toss up in the SECE.

QB Medium Advantage FL
RB Push
WR Slight Advantage TN
TE Medium Advantage TN
OL Huge Advantage FL
DL Push
LB Medium Advantage FL
S Medium Advantage FL
ST Push

If you give 1 point for slight advantage, 2 points for Medium and 3 for Huge then the points shake out like this.

Florida 9 Tennessee 3 Give us another point for being at home and that still has them doubled up on us.

I think we hang tough with Florida in the first half but they pull ahead in the second because of their overall talent and depth.

27-17 Gators :-(

There's no way a rational florida fan can argue their offense will be "better" in 2010 without Tebow than in 2009 with Tebow. Tebow created more matchup issues than any player in 50 years. He wasn't a great passer but his running ability was the key to the success of the spread option.

Florida could not strecth a field sideline to sideline or down the field last season. The ability to spread a defense out and keep defenders honest is the key to the spread offense.

The addition of certain pieces will make the offense better than last year despite not having tebow. With a dual threat qb, it would be even better.

In other words, brantley and a harvin and louis murphy type player is better than tebow and no harvin or murphy type player.

That and a lt who doesn't let a de come unblocked and give the qb a concussion

Just for the heck of it, I'll take the lizards straight up against my beloved Vols for $50. I hope so hard it hurts the Vols win but ya gotta bet with your wallet instead of your heart.

I'd much rather lose $50.00 than to bet against the Vols, especially when playing SEC rivals.

Agree 100%. Also throw in the leadership he gave them...and just the will....you just don't replace that.

My bad. I guess I was thinking of the past year or two with that lee kid who kept giving up pick sixes.

The point is that great qbs are tough to replace, and that some guys (highly touted or not) just won't translate to immediate success.
