Florida also doesn't blow 4th qtr leads of 14 or more points on a consistent basis.

How many time must I explain?

The fact is, NO game played from 05-14 has any bearing on where the programs are at right now and their direction in the future. I have no problem admitting that overall during that time period, UF was better than UT, and I don't think I'd get any arguments there.

But right now, Florida is a bad football team. They are closer to Vandy and FAU levels then, FSU, Bama or Michigan levels, and the games proved it. With the exception of the UGA game, UF played extremely poorly without a QB that was using steroids. They lose a lot of seniors and juniors from this year, not only on defense (their strong unit) but also at RB and WR as well. Combine that with QB uncertainty and UF doesn't look very good next year.

Tennessee meanwhile ended the year with a 7-1 record in their last 8 games, including two wins against top 25, 10-win teams, one of which was by 39. UT had little difficulty rolling over inferior opponents, something UF struggled to do, and our lone loss was by 5 points against probably the best team in the nation, a team who lead UF by 22 before a garbage time TD. Also, the Vols return all of their most vital pieces on offense, and most on defense (still waiting on decisions from Sutton and JRM.) With one more recruiting class, we should finally have all the depth and experience needed to compete for titles.

So forgive me if I fail to recognize this streak as proof that UF is better than UT right now, because all the other evidence seems to indicate otherwise.


Oh frick......

you Tennessee fans need validation so much.


WE need validation? You started this thread because YOU want validation. Literally everything besides a string of past games points to us being the better team now and in the foreseeable future.

Correct, you don't get the chance because youre too busy getting beat by 41 points on a national stage.

UF swept the East and had it wrapped up when the Vawls went on their magical winning streak.

You didn't hear that it is an NCAA rule that he has to bring Penn St players with him?

Don't need Validation because even under Muschamp we still did better than Tennessee. I was just curious on the thought processes of vo11 fans.

I explained my thought process in detail on the last page. You can read it there.

Seems like 95% of the UF fans' hate and anger post 1/1 has been directed at UT. Methinks it's actually jealousy.

Why would Florida fans be jealous of a team it dominates year in and year out? Sure we sucked in our bowl game, but it happens. Only thing that matters to me is making ATL and that is something UT hasn't done since 2001.

PSU
Total Defense 14th (4 SEC teams ranked higher, as is Northwestern and 3 other B1G teams, Vawls 36th with Jancek)

Red Zone Defense 119th (this is abysmal, down right embarrassing, Vawls were 17th with Jancek)

Scoring Defense 26th (6 B1G teams were better, Vawls were 16th with Jancek)


How is this move making UT any better? Looks to me like the defense just got worse.


ETA: the more I look at these stats the more it makes sense. Butch Jones made this move, so naturally it can't result in progress. He just assured every red zone possession for the other team is a TD and that his offense will have to score even more points next year just to have the same success. Fire this clown now Vawls. It's your only hope.

You're right. That 11th win in a row over the Vawls was on local TV only.

Maybe because we're a better team?

Also it was 07 you dumbfrick. You had a Heisman QB that year and couldn't beat out poor, pathetic UT to make Atlanta.

Think real hard about who is going to be coaching at UT vs at Penn St.

Maybe consider which school had sanctions very recently. Also take a look back at Vandy's defense for more data if you choose.

Or just continue to be myopic, it seems like a good look for you.

NCAA lifted Penn St sanctions early. Oh and Penn St was a bowl team last year.
