What will be the difference maker?

[volfan2024]

In order to beat the Gators, what do you think will be the key to our team. Honestly I know how important our offense is with Hooker but I think this game our d line pressure , if it continues, we’ll harass Richardson all day long. Just my opinion. Agree?

Make AR beat you with his Arm.

The offense coming out hot. Get it going early and get two or three scores ahead before Florida knows what is going on. The exact opposite of what they started like against Pitt.

 

[TnVol!]

The difference maker will be Tennessee is better than Florida. Better players, better coaches, and better fans.

Agreed

Agreed

Force Richardson to beat you with his arm. If he comes out and is throwing well, we may need to make adjustments. However I just don’t see it after watching him so far this season

Stopping florida Run game.

AR can beat us with his legs... but he has been hobbling some.
His down field play sucks but I expect the belly dragging lizards to throw dink and dunk short quick passes. Our open field tackling had better be on. If they can run the ball on the Vols it will be a closer game than many think.
If we score on the first 2 or 3 possessions the Vols will win big. Get a big lead and AR will be a liability to the gators, who knows the Vols have been known to make backup QBs look like All-Americans so hope we don't injure him or they pull him.

Don’t they show some stat every year that the team that rushes for the most yards usually wins? Like others have said, stop their rushing attack and make AR beat us with his arm.

My lucky orange socks that I only wore for the 1990, 1992, 1998, 2001, 2003, 2004 and 2016 games. They’re coming back out Saturday.

 

[VolBricks]

the defense will be the difference, they must have a big game, lot's of pressure, disruptive force, blitzes from every direction, hold nothing back

 

[wmcovol]

Jaylen Wright will have a big game

 

[volsfan24018]

No turnovers

 

[supersmo18]

Stop their running game and get off the damn field on 3rd down

 

[BelieveTheHeup93]

Special teams and tackling

I think you’ve hit on the story for the whole rest of the season.

We don’t have to have a great defense. We just need one that’s decent at getting off the field on 3rd down so the boat race can commence. The fastest way to get there is if we can get production out of the D-line.

According to some threads, the level of enthusiasm or fear in the posts on this board will make a big difference on Saturday. If we don't properly fear florida and their 99 out of 100 wins, we will lose. In reality, this game is 52-13.

The difference in the game will be the play of our offensive and defensive lines. All Georgia does is to overwhelm our lines!. Better have the old screen pass ready to stop the rush on offense. Let's hope Florida does not adopt the tactic of Georgia!

Pray Florida coaches don't watch the Ole Miss game last year when their qb destroyed us. AR is bigger faster & stronger

I've got my own lucky orange vols socks that I've had since 2011. They weren't lucky then, but they were on my feet for the South Carolina Dobbs coming out party, 2016 Florida game, the dobbnail boot, etc and most recently the Pitt game. My cankles may have blown out the elastic, but I'll be damned if I leave them at home this weekend.

 

[Alto1]

LOS.

 

[OldVolMan]

Have the right mindset and not let our past record with Gators get in their head.
Be highly motivated and determined to win the game and not letting the history interfere with emotions.

Hooker returning to his 2021 form and executing the offense at a high level.
