Yes. UT has the Oline to hold up this year and UF still can't score. UFs defense is good, but hasn't taken that next step to become dominant. UT by 10.
I wouldn't be surprised if UF lost to A&M ad well because they have a great Oline second only to Bama
Yup. You won't win if you can't score.
Tennessee will beat Florida this year.

I get it Jed. You are a damn broken record.

What kind of coaching blunders has Boom made that are similar to the stuff Dooley's done and said?
You are apparently another good source for lottery numbers. Come across.
I have never said Boom is going to be the next national championship winner at UF. I've also never said he's doomed to fail. How the frick would I know if either scenario is true? How do you know he's doomed to fail?
I already regret this.
I'm setting the odds of Muschamp stroking out on the sideline during a game at 18.5%. You taking the over or the under?

I think that the reports of Florida's demise are premature.
They were 4-0 last year and looking pretty decent before they finished 2-6...
We won't even really know after this weekend. Despite what people say, the first few games of the season don't always tell you how the season will go, especially with a young QB.
UF could very well start 1-2 and then win 7 or 8 of their last 9. You just don't know.
At this point in time, I would say that UT has a better chance of winning because they have a QB, but UF's defense gives them a chance. We'll have a better guess at that specific prediction next week.

A better statement would read: "is florida bad enough that tenn could finally beat them"?

I'm not sold on us yet. But I am cautiously optimistic. We destroyed a decent Cincy team last year before completely imploding against Florida, so I'm cautious.

If Tennessee can't beat Florida, there's a pretty good chance Dooley finishes the season with an 0-12 career record against Bama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. Should be more then enough to fire him, in my opinion..

How the hell did ZR get so far behind that DB anyway?
Busted Coverage with the safety help but it was hilarious none the less. i was just shocked he caught it
definitely need a predictions thread for this next week

ZR confused the safety with his lipstick.

Florida is awful so I hope so

Tenner beats an meh team from the ACC and everyone is high on them. 
Posted on 9/6/12 at 8:17 pm to Vandyman1
Probably because no one thought UT would beat the meh ACC team.
Posted on 9/6/12 at 8:40 pm to BlueIndian420
I say yes

I see us winning. I think it will still be a hard fought game though bc of their D but I think we pull it out in the end by forcing their offense into some turnovers.

I tell you who needs to worry about Tennesse is Bama. Tennesse hasn't beaten them in awhile and the Vols want blood.
As much as I would like to agree, barring getting Peyton and the Broncos to sneak in and suit up in Orange I don't have high hopes with Bama. But you never know that game just never seems to match normal formula for predicting scores. I have seen some freaky stuff happen in that game through years from both sides with teams you just would not expect....but I wouldn't put any money out on it. I really am not sure any team in NCAA this year can beat Bama.
As for Florida....I'll say this you have kids at UT who do not remember UT winning against Florida. As a result for a few years now it's been sort of unenergized at games, but not now. Knoxville is a chatter and there's a fan energy there like nothing seen since 90's. This game is going to be LOUD eveny by Neyland Standards. If we win that campus is going to explode....and there is deffinately a personal desire for blood against Gators who have really kind of replaced Alabama for younger fans for about a decade now as far as just pure hate is concerned. Plus most people I know respect Saban, we just haven't built up a personal animosity with him like we have with Spurrier or the Bear or other foes. If we improve enough tomake a real challange maybe that rivalry will heat up again. For us older fans Bama is still THE game.
I predict if this is high scoring, fast tempo game...TN blows Florida out of the water...could even be 1990 level defeat. We have that much explosive ability right now. (quite a few other similarities going on with those teams if you think about it) However we haven't faced a respectable pass rush yet, so we have been able to have our way with teams...Florida's D still looks completely legit, if they can pass rush and cause problems and slow game down, or force a running game.....then it could get nasty for us quick. We got no power back and they know it. Our running game has no power, more speed, and that only works usually with non SEC schools. On the other side, our D is looking like 180 degree turn around....Sunseri seems to have worked some magic, entire Defense is playing with more energy, alot of ball hawking in secondary, and just that sorta old testament hunger at the line to hurt people I haven't seen since Leonard and Big Al were on the field....win or lose....some people are comeing up to Neyland to get hurt...pain train is on the tracks. Choo Choo!

I believe so, for the first time in a long time. But our running game worries me...
