So a 70 yard, 6 missed tackle run happens, a pick six ending a TD drive, and we will not be able to tackle their tight end?

Good thing about UF is their TOP stat actually matters.

Not really. Both Miami of Ohio and USF had superior TOP numbers.

I think if Tennessee beats Florida a lot of today's dooms day posts will look pretty silly. Realistically speaking, on one thought we would beat Oregon, we hoped like heck, but with what we've seen so far, from us and Florida, I think this game is winnable. Sure would make a great start for the rest of the season.

Says the loser trolling an opponent site because his own fans think he's a loser. Sweet irony. It's unfortunate that you don't have the capacity to understand it.

Oh I understand just fine, thanks.

FYI, I'm not concerned with what others think so you can dream up any far fetched scenario you wish.

Whatever makes you feel better about yourself, ok.

Enjoy some more sweet irony on my account.

Was this an accidental post or did you intend to say absolutely nothing?

Do know someone clever who might be able to help you at least make this entertaining?

I just hope the Vols give 'em more than they did the last time the gators came to K-town. They won't have Brandon James or Tebow with 'em this time, so that's a plus. Simms has got to learn to take a sack though, the gators will be comin' early and often.

Florida has some experience in key positions, but overall, is much younger this year than I anticipated.

This will be the first road start for a number of players. And so far this year, UF has started slowly in both games on offense.

Additionally, UF's young, athletic LBs have been over pursuing and missing tackles at the point of attack. Even with a stacked box, Poole will make some plays.

Tennessee will come out guns blazing and play Florida tough for at least a half. I would not be surprised at all if UT is winning at halftime. I think Florida will break a long play in the 2nd half very similar to what they've done the last 2 weeks. Tennessee will fall behind and start to throw the ball around a bit more and that's when UFs secondary will make a play and either give UF a very short field or just score a defensive TD.

I think UF will add one more TD, or maybe even a FG if Sturgis can shake out of his funk. I think the final score will be something like 24-10 or 28-14. Something like that.

I think that Florida will really improve from week to week. But I think they will struggle in their first road game this year.

I will say though, that UF, if they really have discovered an offensive identity, have the pieces in place to really murder Tennessee. The entire OL will finally be back fully healthy and Will Hill is coming back from his suspension. Demps is a burner, and Gillislee can get tough yards. Meyer and Adazzio like to pound the ball, and while I think UT might be able to slow them down early, I think UF could really wear UT down as the game goes on.

Florida is beatable. UT could keep close most of the game, before the lack of depth gets exposed. Simms has to step and lead this team by making some big throws under pressure, otherwise this team has no chance this year.

not too concerned about overpursuit by the LBs. they were trying to cover USF's QB and RB which are a pretty great rushing tandem. The 103 degree heat index in Gainesville yesterday (even hotter on the field) also might have had something to do with them not playing as sharply as they did in the opener.

Simms isn't a rushing QB so reads and assignments should be less complicated for them and our DTs ought to make it easier for them as well.

It doesn't matter.... The wildcats will beat the crap out of Florida in the swamp....upset of the year.

I think more in the range of 70,000 vol fans is realistic. I believe the gator fans are coming into town this weekend What do u guys think?

Oh, don't you worry. I have A LOT of friends making trips from all parts of the country to show up in your stadium. There will be quite a bit of blue in Knoxville to ruin your "Orange Out"

Perhaps because two are freshman, and one's only played two games at TE? :crazy:

This is my point, the original statement was about their LB's covering our TE's 25yd's down the field, I know how many TE's we have I see them at practice (yes I get into practice), it's just that none of them have proven anything. Hopefully that changes this week.

You wont ruin MY "orange out". Ill be wearing blue as well. Im comming in from South Florida on Wednesday.
The point i was trying to make with that post was there WASN'T going to be 100,000 plus vol fans in the stadium because of how many gator fans that were going to be there.:good!:

i guess we aren't doing too badly as WR/TE Hines caught a TD while playing that Hernandez-hybrid spot in the opener and starting TE Jordan Reed caught a TD in his first game back from injury yesterday.
