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.

Absolutely
quote:

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).

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.

They have good backs.

Do Wut?

It's UT...across the board, they have the athletes.

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.

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.

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.

Yep. Everything I have heard out of CMR this week tells me he remembers all the times we came into this game favored and overconfident, so lets hope he has drilled that into the players...if not, we will be hearing that fricking song all day long.

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.

Coming off two huge wins and playing against a team that everything thinks you'll destroy. Fans are saying that the only way we lose is if our defense doesn't get off the bus....on their home field. Everybody's booking their tickets for ATL.

I'm not saying it'll be close...because it shouldn't. But if you could take every cliche about a upset/let down game this one covers them all.

I'll feel much better when we have our second stringers on the field.

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.

I've said before that the only time in my life I was 100%, absolutely certain we wouldn't lose to UT was in 2004. So ever since then I'm always leery of playing them.

I just can't help but look at the matchups and think that virtually every single category or any matchup up for comparison comes out in our favor. The ONLY advantage they have is playing in neyland, where Richt is 4-2.

Well let mew put it this way...if we lose...we have a lot more problems then I thought.

Losing this game is 100% unacceptable.

Richt knows it, the team knows it. The only reason I would think that it could even be a 2 score game at ANY point is because Gurley and Tray won't be playing.

With that said, UGA by at least 21.

I hope you guys are right...I really do.

This level of confidence before UT hasn't been seen since 04.

I think this game has a very Waterloo or Hitler attacking Russia in winter feel to it.

And we haven't seen a UT team this bad since Dooley's first season in 2010, where we won by about 30.

The fact that Willie Martinez is on UTK's staff makes me less worried.
