Tennessee looked bad on offense in the first half. Like really bad. Florida left points on the field and should have been up 17-0 at halftime. Was Tennessee looking ahead to Alabama ?

Very possible, but TN also looked awful the week before. Maybe they’re just like everyone in the SEC excluding TX (so far) and they are a good, but flawed football team.

Doubt it. They didn’t look great against OU and lost to Arkansas the game before so they were probably pretty focused on Florida.

I think they just aren’t the juggernaut they looked like against … Kent State.

Talented, good scheme, but inconsistent.

With that said if Bama’s LBs don’t learn to fill gaps and tackle in a week UT’s rbs are going to destroy us.

Billy Napier should be legitimately fired for losing that game. They should have won the game but his mismanagement of the team cost them in the end.

Their defense is very good, especially up front. Their offensive line is pretty average, and their scheme struggles if they can't bully people up front on offense. And Nico seems to still be very much figuring things out.

As noted above, though, if the ILBs don't play better they'll run it up the gut every play for 3.5 yards and we'll never get off the field.

Milroe is going to have to process things quickly this week with that defense and the crowd noise that we will dealing with. That’s what happened two years ago. We had multiple false starts and got into an early hole 21-7. We absolutely cannot do that this year.

The kind of game where it would be awesome to have a reliable tailback run game that could consistently get 4-5 yards. From what I’ve seen Bama doesn’t have that. Of course we haven’t really committed to establishing it much either.

Putting too much dependence on Milroe right now. Against this defense on the road we need to alleviate some of that somehow.

I just hope we don't see any shovel passes. I am so traumatized by the past two weeks that I don't think I can take any more of them this season.

I hope that Kendrick Law is ready to go this week. His perimeter blocking is so good and it’s been missed the last two games. Would love to have all hands on deck this week. We seem to be pretty healthy overall.

I have full confidence their offense will get it all figured out and torch us for 600+ yards.

Knowing the clown that Kane Wommack is, that’s probably what will happen.

We'll always have Marcel Dareus intercepting one for a pick-6 in the national championship game.

Nico has played 3 conference opponents (1 good defense, 2 average ones) and has looked pedestrian

That being said, I expect to give up 42

I'm very concerned about their hurry up offense. If we really are having trouble getting our calls in fast enough we may just get gashed repeatedly with confusion. Our DL has got to man up this week or it could be another long day.

He definitely should've never let it go to OT.

No doubt. He mismanaged his offense worse than anyone I’ve ever seen in the first half. They were in the Tennessee red zone four times and came away with three points.

Yet despite this, and your qb blowing his knee out by stubbing his toe on the grass (wtf was that?), you have a chance to win in regulation on the road and you play for OT??
Ugly coaching decision.

The fumble by Mertz on the goal line was excruciating. Florida gave that game away.

Tennessee offense has been shite since they started SEC play. That being said, they'll have it all figured out this Saturday

I've been thinking the same thing. He's look very average and cant complete a deep ball to save his life, but just like Joe Milton last year, he's going to hit the first deep ball he throws on Saturday. I'm fully expecting his Stephen Garcia/ Zack Calzada game against us.
