Reasons why this is a close game.
1. Muschamp is on the hot seat and wants to cool off with a win.
2. UT is young and will make some young mistakes in such a big game.
3. UF must win this game to stay in the East hunt. Lose, and that dream is over.
4. 9 wins in a row should give the UF players confidence.
5. Two weeks to prepare for a division rival.
6. Players that are at least an equal, talent wise to UT.
I'll play Devils advocate:
1. Muschamp might have already lost this team. They might not want to fight for him in a crunch. They haven't put up much of a fight for over a year when the going gets tough.
2. If Driskel plays poorly, he will be benched for a freshman. That freshman will be in the loudest stadium that he has ever been in! Mistakes will occur in that scenario.
3. Playoffs..you talking playoffs...they are just hoping to win a game.
4. They keep saying that over and over about 9 in a row, gonna make it 10 in their heart, but in their head they are saying I'm worried this time.
5. Two weeks of thinking about it. After getting confidence shattered at Bama. Two weeks of pumped in noise to get accustomed to the Neyland. Will the checks work, will they even be heard. Our qb sux. If the freshman comes in he will line up under the guard more than likely. Oh, crap.
6. Why aren't we better than what we are showing? Oh yeah, our coach sux. I wonder if we lose, would we get a better coach next year? Butch Jones is gonna kill us.
Jk, I think it will be a close game too.
