Am I the only one who thinks UT could pull the huge upset of UGA?

It seems like we've seen this situation before...big win the week before, followed by a letdown. It also seems this has specifically happened a couple of times in recent years against UT.
UT offensive line was supposed to be one of the best in the SEC...and could still be...but for some reason they haven't put it all together. (I noted Jenkins commenting about how big those guys are).
They have good backs.
It's UT...across the board, they have the athletes.
This is a "make or break your season" game for UT. I just hope it's possible for UGA to get "up" again after such an emotional game last weekend.
I'm not sure why folks are acting like this game is a potential blow-out by UGA. I could see it being dangerously close, especially given how bad our defense has been this year...
Am I missing something?

No they don't... and they're certainly not on the level of Davis, McDowell, and Hill.
Worley might be the worst QB in the SEC, and he isn't mobile. North Texas QB was probably better.

Their athletes on defense are terrible though. Oregon ran them
off the field.
Our defense should still be motivated by the fact that they haven't played a complete game yet. We'll be facing a shitty pocket passer and subpar RBs, and they don't have WR on the level of Beckham and Landry, although North might end up there.
Not saying we can't still be upset, but this is where my confidence is coming from.

Pretty sure we lost to UT in 07. Seems similar, but they suck a lot more now than they did then. Butch was the best hire they could've made...for the rest of the sec east.

Yes. The past is not prologue to the future. UTn is baely good enough to win their spring game.
The potential upset game to worry about is Mizzou.

I'm always going to be nervous about going into Knoxville, but this is honestly the biggest discrepancy in how good our teams are that I've seen. Well at least when thinking about times we were better than them.

Yes, The fact that UT sucks this year.Their own fans have no confidence in them for this game. Grantham will game plan same as with LSU..load up to stop the run and make Worley beat us with his arm

Not no but hell no...this is a classic trap game, especially for the DAWGS who have a unique ability to spoil the bed linens when given the opportunity...

People are getting too tied up in the "T" logo on their helmets, and not paying enough attention to the players wearing those helmets.
UT is horrible. They have no playmakers on their entire team.

Save your breathe, er...keystrokes. Ive been saying the same thing all week, and they have damn near bitched me off the board for it. We COULD and probably even SHOULD run UT out of their own stadium...but we may also be sporting some severely bruised feelings come Saturday night.

I would be very surprised if this game stayed within three scores.
Worley is quite possibly the worst quarterback I've ever seen take snaps for an SEC team. If he isn't throwing it at receivers feet, he's throwing it 5 feet behind them or over their head. Tack on the fact that we run a read-option but lack the ability for the option portion of it, and our offense is downright abysmal.
I also wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Arthur Lynch had the best game of his career on Saturday.

Again, their O-line is pretty good but you can only pass protect for so long before your QB has to get rid of the ball. He's by far the worst Tennessee QB in the last decade. The numbers don't lie.

Those same athletes had yo have a fricking miracle to beat GODDAMNMOTHERfrickING SOUTH ALABAMA! Not the crimson tide but the jaguars. And no not the NFL franchise.

They won't win a conference game this year.

A whole helluva lot but no worries. You're a quality poster but Tennessee doesn't worry me. The game next week is much more dangerous than the orange cons.

There is always the threat of an upset in games like these.
As bad as TN has been, bad teams sometimes magically pull it together and take advantage of the overconfidence of a powerhouse knocking on the door.
I'm very confident we will win this one easily, but I wouldn't be surprised if we have a few mental mistakes that lead to turnovers and make the game a lot closer than it should be.
The worst thing our coaches and players could do is come into the game expecting a win. The fans can do that all day long, but if the team doesn't get off the bus, it doesn't matter how bad TN has been so far. Our lack of focus will kill us.

Historically we don't play well at Neyland Stadium but our offense is considerably better and our running game defense is coming along as seen in the LSU game. At best they will have some big plays through the air and make it somewhat of a shootout. I like the dawgs by about 3 TD's.

Remember the drug test last week? I wonder who all wont be making the trip?

I'm worried but that's my nature. I was raised by Munson and I've been hurt in the past so I remain ever vigilant.
