Yea as much as I want to believe that TN beating UF will be easy this year I can't.

The talent is there, I agree that you all could have a very solid 8-4 type season as well. The only teams you play with more talent then UF are UGA, LSU, Ole Miss and FSU. TN is right there about equal at this point.

The good news for TN is I think it is good we get you early. Your OL and QB situations seem to me like they will take some time to figure out. Add to that equation that it looks like we have an elite DL I think we can likely exploit that one weakness on your team.

Now what can our O do against your D is the big question. I like that DObbs hasn't faced UF before and I think his mobility will really help. But once again we need to be able to come out line up and be able to run the ball against you all and I am still worried that will be very tough with our OL vs your DL.

Hopefully for us having Dobbs and actually being able to run our offense correctly for the first time in 3 years versus yall will help us be able to get the run game going somewhat.

I had convinced myself listening to the chatter on the Vol boards that this one would be a couple TD win for TN but now I think I am back down to the 20-14 type score for the winner.

At home, Tennessee gave up about 307 yards per game.

On the road, Tennessee gave up about 432 yards per game.

Josh Dobbs had a 140 QB rating at home, and 6 TD to 2 INT last year. On the road he had a 118 QB rating with 3 TD and 4 INT.

You can find a million more stats like this.

The overwhelming statistical evidence, is that Tennessee is not as good a team on the road. It's been that way for a while.

To think UT has any kind of advantage play @ UF is laughable.
