“Right now we’re a little bit ahead of the game defensively,” Jones said. “First of all is just continuity on offense. We have zero continuity on offense. We have to step it up there and I trust that we will.”

Not legit.
Back to back life champions speaks to the continuity and excellence on both sides of the ball for the Vols.

Not enough 5 star hearts on the offense I guess?

So basically they have no offensive identity. Sounds about like every year.

Power Spread, read option football. It's been that way since day 1. Tempo has changed. The identity has not.

Now do Florida.

Scoring offense:

2015: #11 in the SEC
Also note worthy:
Total touchdowns in 2016: 35
Total touchdowns in 2015: 44
In comparison: Alabama finished with 74 TDs in 2016. Tennessee finished with 63.
Losing the kid to West Virginia nuked any potential that offense had. It's been terrible against above average talent since McElwain took over.

We shall see. UT practice reports from their Rivals site seem to confirm that. I mean they lost so much on offense. You cant honestly tell me their offense would be better this year.
Meanwhile GT returns 8 on offense :)

Butch has had some decent offenses. I know Dobbs is in the nfl now, and Hurd transferred. I am not sure about Kamara(can't have much if any eligibility left) or how many returning linemen or receivers. Offenses take some time to develop and I wouldn't read too much into it in some that are struggling at this point.

Is the new QB a duel threat guy?

Lists bygone year stats like a mo-ran.
Looks like you boys drank the Kool Ade and asked for seconds. Congrats.

It appears that statistics and numbers upset user AshleySchaeffer.
You still have the same lame-duck coach that lost to Lyle Allen Jones last fall. Has F1orida's talent on offense gotten any better?

Not a fan of Tennessee, or GT. Definitely not a fan of either head coach. My prediction is that UT will beat you guys down because of superior talent and I predict that Georgia will do the same. If we don't, and Kirby gets flat out embarrassed like he did in 2016, he'll find his seat getting hot a lot quicker than he or some of our fans expect.

I think it's very fair to say that we will take a step back offensively in 2017. Dobbs, Kamara, Malone, and Hurd will be extremely hard to replace. Even Croom on a smaller scale. Particularly the first 3 though as we had roughly the back half of the season to adjust without Hurd. Kelly came in as the #2 behind Kamara once Hurd split half way through the season and quietly rushed for more yards as the #3 (630yds) and had a better ypc (6.4) and yac than Kamara and Hurd.
There's also some reason for optimism. Veteran/Deep(when healthy) OL. What should be a strong running game with John Kelly and good, although mostly unknown outside of Jennings, athletes at WR. Expecting above average, but not great TE play.
Jauan Jennings
Marquez Callaway
Tyler Byrd
Josh Smith
Are probably in some order your top 4 WR. Latrell Williams and Brandon Johnson may also have an argument. Jennings takes Malones place as the #1. We have some dynamic younger guys at WR that should start to make some noise with Malone and Croom moving on to the NFL. It will be hard to replace Malones production.
QB is the big question mark heading into the season and ultimately what the season hinges on (in addition to DL). If we get good to above average QB play we have the talent to be a really tough team this year. Bad QB play and it's obviously the opposite direction. Coaches really like what they have in both Dormady and Guarantano, but both of them are inexperienced. Dormady has some playing time in mop up duty and Guarantano is completely green. Optimisticly speaking.. that doesn't make me feel great. I believe both have the talent to be successful, but I don't know what to expect under a new QB and OC in game 1.
All that being said, I expect our offense to take a step back but our defense to take 1, hopefully 2 steps forward.

Maybe, maybe not. DL is a pretty big question mark for UT also, IMO. Can you stay healthy for a full season, because your DL depth is not great IMO. And, can your DL live up to their recruit rankings; you have to admit they're far from proven. Also, RB position will be very important and you're depending on several freshmen to help carry the load without a running QB to distract opposing defenses. And, you have a new unproven OC, who will probably tweak the scheme a bit more toward pro-style. Those are not small hurdles.
