I can't disagree because our D is unproven. Like most upper SEC schools, we have a load of talent over there but we have yet to see it on the field.That will be the basis for whether or not we are in Atlanta or not is how those guys play. We are more than fine on O.
Your linebackers on paper don't seem to have a lot of experience, see any problems there??? Discuss

Read some threads about G. Williams...your right about the expereince not being there other than McCoy...although Wilson played really well as Mayo's backup last year...

The big question right now is how will we get G. Williams on the field? There are rumblings about moving Wilson to SLB

I think they'll be fine to the extent that Gerald Williams gets to play. He's the type of athlete that can make up for inexperience with athleticism. Rico McCoy has the experience and athleticism. We have about 11 others vying for the other spot. One of that crowd will step up and play solid football.

If there is a weakness on D, it is DLine depth. I think we have the players there now, but not very deep.

D-line is also our major concern right now, Meyer has announced only 1 starter thus far. We do have a lot of numbers at that position it just looks like until some step up it will be by committee

Honestly not worried about the DB's, alot of that was due to lack of pressure on the QB, and remember everyone can have a bad game, I remember one in particular.

let's not pretend that the D only sucked against Michigan

Here are the numbers Papa: We gave up 25.5 ppg, UT gave up 27.3ppg. We gave up 103 ypg on the ground, UTgave up 165 ypg on the ground. We gave up 259 ypg thru the air, UT 239 ypg. We were +5 in takeaways, UT was+7 in takeaways. So by looking at the numbers we had very similar defenses is all I'm saying

Can I ask why every thread has to go from being on topic (talking about Tennessee: us going undefeated) to battling with a Florida fan about a loss last year that has nothing to do with this thread?

Dear Florida fan,

The world does not revolve around you, you are not God's gift to football, you are beatable, and it takes a team to win, so stop blaming the defense...

In other words, we're going undefeated this year...

Talk about off topic, who pi**ed in your Wheaties, I'm not blaming any defense, I was having a discussion (try it) with some of your knowledgable fans about defense.

and ours absolutely stunk. Not to mention that your OOC massively helped the defensive stats.

I believe, today, that our defense has improved to the point of competitiveness. I'm not so sure about yours.

That was my point, neither were very good, but to think we won't improve, I'll disagree. We were in every game last year (no blowouts) so with a little improvement that should be all we need to get over the top.

I don't resort to being a bad a** hiding behind a keyboard, very childlike, nor did I talk smack, it was a cute (as you would say) little dig. If you would like smack though how about 3 in a row and 59-20.:birgits_giggle::birgits_giggle:

I disagree. I don't think your offense will be as productive after the injury losses and with hobbled Harvin.

Your lack of consistency was about the defense and without huge strides, it will bite you again.

I'm not sold on Meyer's commitment to defense.

VolnMiami, there is a difference in me talking about our defense with some of your fans as opposed to what you do on the Gatorsports board (ever heard of the pot calling the kettle)... nevermind. Anyway, I am not a troll or flamer, I am a college football fanatic and Gator fan.

I hate to butt in so late, but if anyone knows a bad defense when they see one it would be us vol fans.

I wasn't one of the ones on GSMB you were going after. Silly challenge, and I for one never said we would or could go undefeated, but just like your fans here we can all hope before the season. I do enjoy having conversation about football and the SEC and as you can see by some of my posts, I don't always look thru O&B glasses.:eek:k::eek:k:

There is not a team on the schedule that we cannot beat, therefore I don't see any reason why we can't go undefeated...why would you have any other outlook as a fan?

per your concerns, gator fan: Ahh yes, because I'm tired of Florida fans being on all of our boards rubbing in the 59-20 score, that means I am lacking in knowledge. I'm tired of every topic turning into a discussion about how 59-20 11 months ago is going to prevent us from beating you this year. Also, if you don't think Florida fans are blaming the defense for your losses, then you're delusional.

You're a troller, and I think the large majority on this board will agree with that.

Also, I guess going to every home game for the past four years, going to the SEC championship and outback bowl (which we won, against a big 11 opponent) last year, and going to the UCLA game this year wouldn't give me any knowledge about UT football.:question:

I guess going to EVERY GAME, home and AWAY, since 2001,except the Vandy game 2yrs ago for the birth of my son doesn't give me knowledge of my team. As for going undefeated, of course I hope and expect to win every game, if that sounds like the rants of a troll or flamer, sobeit. See ya at Calhouns on the 19th, and oh yeah, we did win THE BIG ONE against a big 11 opponent.

But there are teams on our schedule that can beat us. That's the concern regarding why we can't go undefeated. However, all of us Big Orange fans hope for the best regarding the won/ loss record. I hate it that I failed clairvoyance 101, otherwise I would proclaim an undefeated season.
