Game Thread - Vols 3 Gators 6 - CBS Halftime

UF defense has shown itself to be stout unless it is left on the field way too often.

Offense is unknown and I'm afraid Franks isn't ready yet and gets too pumped up. If he can settle down and just not try to win the game...we will be fine. I think the Oline is going to produce a much better product on the field and we run Scarlett, Perine, Thompson a lot.

It is imperative to outrush the hillbillies to win the game. Almost 90% of games are won by the team with the most rushing yds. I feel 175-185 yds should do it...remember, UT will also be trying to outrush us and our Dline can stalemate their OL imo.

Turnovers are key also to winning and we cannot turn the ball over more than once. Ga Tech lost their game with UT because of turnovers...so we need ball security.

UT allowed something like 655 yds against Ga Tech and I know Tech runs that wishbone...but their undersized Ol blew UT 4 and 5 yds off the ball many times. We get our run game going and Franks will have an easier day in the backfield and can throw long to Cleveland.

Special teams we are at an advantage.

I don't know, so much in play due to the hurricane, loss of practice time, mindset of players. I could go either way in my opinion.

Florida opened as 8 point favorites over Tennessee, somehow.

Their quarterback is very, very young and takes a lot of very risky throws. They gave up 655 yards to Georgia Tech, and the only reason the game wasn't GT by 30 was because they simply didn't have the personnel to make interceptions.

The Swamp is a whole frick lot more louder than Georgia Tech's stadium (55,000 max), and a whole lot hotter.

Meh, there's more important things than 3rd and 7.

It will be an ugly game. Neither QB is that good, but John Kelly scares me against our terrible run D. My heart says 55-7 UF but I think the offense sputters and UT pulls it out 13-6

Heads will roll if we lose and that's the score. What would you say if (and this is loser moral victory bullshite) we lost by a score of, say, 45-41. Defense gets gashed but offense looks good in the process? I don't think that happens but what would your feel of the program be if it did?

Were not as good on defense as last year but they're not nearly as good on offense as they were last year. I would be shocked if they scored 30, much less 40+.

I'm feeling good. It's already extremely muggy in Gainesville which plays in our favor. I'm still feeling 31-17 Gators. Not because I think we're that great on offense, but because I don't think Tennessee is incredibly talented on offense and I don't think Butch and co is a better coaching staff than Mac and co.

Just my opinion. And trust me, that opinion could be much different by the end of the day.

Did anyone else see the video of the Tennessee fan urinating on the Tebow Statue.

Tennessee is baaaad. Uf needs to finish this off.

If McElwain doesn't fire Nuss on Monday, the season is thrown.
