We had 3 impact players go down for us during the Akron game.

RB1 - Jabari Small
RB3 - Dylan Sampson
WR1 - Cedric Tillman

We just got word back a little bit ago that both Running backs are expected to play this weekend, but everyone is holding their breath on Tillman. No word just yet.

We're in a unique position in that our WR room is the best that it's been in years, but losing Tillman would be a massive blow.

Anybody notable on your end dealing with anything?

There is absolutely no way Tennessee could lose this game even if their entire offensive line went down. Tennessee by 28 points.

Is that how you do it Pio?

Our only linebacker that can fill a run gap is hurt so there is that. Probably doesn’t matter if Tillman plays run hurry up and gash us on the ground. AR hasn’t shown the ability to keep up yet.

Our QB's confidence is questionable and moving towards doubtful for the game Saturday.

That's shitty. I thought he was week to week?

Any truth to the rumor AR is playing through an ankle issue?

Yep when he went out last season LSU's spare arse RB (TYRION
DAVIS-PRICE) ran for a school record 287 yards on our defense.

I think he is week to week, but I haven't heard anything and he missed last week, so...

He comes up gimping all the time. His body is fine, his head is not.

He was running fine at the end of the game. Anthony Richardson’s problem is turning his back to the defense in this run heavy play action offense. It’s blowing his fundamentals. Unless Napier scrapes his scheme and goes back to a Mullen 13 personal spread we’re fricked. Ant needs an off-season to get used to turning his back to the D. That’s the truth.

You saw that, huh?

He's suspended for the 1st half of the UF game. I know, I know.

I'm feeling decent enough. We should have no problem moving the ball, it's just whether or not we can slow y'all down on offense. Y'all seem to be more of a passing team and we do much better slowing the pass down the pass, so I guess we'll see. It also can't be overstated how much this dominance over Tennessee has put a strain on the mentality and psyche of the Tennessee football program and I really think it could be a factor.

If he played on our offensive line he wouldn't hit anyone.

There's no question that you guys have had the psychological advantage for years. That's played a huge factor in this series.

I've watched all 3 games for both teams and this is the first time that I can remember that Tennessee clearly looks like the better team. That doesn't mean we'll win, but I can't remember the last time we passed the eye test over UF like this.

Offensively these teams don't look comparable at all. We can move the ball on the ground or through the air. It's really just predicated on what the defense gives us. We're going wide splits like always. If you add a defender in the secondary to help defend the pass, we're going to run it. If you try and load the box to sell out against the run, we're going to throw it over the top in 1 on 1 situations. I Think we've seen this scenario more this year than last which is why we're throwing it more.

Last season we finished 12th in the country in rush offense & 39th in passing offense. This season it's flip flopped a little bit with teams stacking the box.

Defensively our weakness has been our pass defense. Our rush defense has gotten better with Rodney Gardner leading the DL. He's made a big impact. The front 7 is flying around and has taken a big step forward from last year as well.

The game plan is going to be the same that you guys will see for the rest of the year. Spy on AR and make him beat you with his arm. We're going to sell out on the run & short to intermediate passes.

The competetion level hasn't been close to the same and ill be the first to ack that, but here are how the teams stack up ranking wise going into the game. There are take aways you can make despite the competition.




All of that being said - I am very much in the camp of I need to see it to believe it. We've shite ourselves way too many times in this series going back a long, long time. I'm excited for this weekend and to see how it plays out.

There is no reason to pick Florida. Richardson has looked horrible our run d is horrible. If Tennessee plays their c game it should be a breeze. That being said I’ve seen worse Florida Teams come out with a win. Richardson is talented and if he starts feeling himself maybe we have a shot. He’s no Treon Harris though.

We were missing Ventrell Miller (LB) and Tarquin (OL) against USF. I don’t think they’ve updated their statuses for this weekend. Miller would be a big loss tho. USF gashed us on the ground.
