I know it’s a trap game for UGA, but Auburn somehow looked better in first half vs Vandy… and Curtis isn’t playing.
Has VT trailing in second half after leading by 14.

We don’t play UT very much since the 1992 split, but our first year head coaches seem to have games in Knoxville…

1999 Tuberville (pick six first play of the game)
2009 Chizik (beat kiffin, another first yr coach)
2013 Gus (smoked their asses)
2026 Golesh

re: Offensive TDs per SEC game

The offense has been a struggle no doubt… there are some signs like our ability to convert 3rd downs and creating some explosive plays in run game… but it hasn’t been enough.

I think with an above avg OL this offense looks significantly better… and I give the coaches credit for making personnel changes there to try to get better results… unfortunately for this season it’s not gonna be good enough up front.
23-17 UT… their defensive line is gonna be a tough matchup for us.

I think we can win, but it’ll take some turnover luck and mistakes from the Vols. Also this teams first road game will be an adjustment.

It’s east TN… there’s a chance of rain every day.

Weather will be fine Saturday afternoon.

UT lit UGA up last year… 38 points almost 500 yds… 7 ypp. Missed a FG to win it.

Would kill to be in that position rn

I would like for just one fricking time to win the coin toss and kick off to start the game.

Their only other scoring drive (field goal in first quarter) was aided by 30 yards of Texas penalties.

Brandon looked off after the injury.

High level I think the teams are similar… solid defenses and flawed offenses. I think UT is dealing with some injuries on the OL, and Brandon was not the same after his stinger. I bet his shoulder was sore as hell yesterday.

I don’t hate the way this game sets up for us, but being first true road game could be a factor. I do think us having a bye next weeks means we’ll see Brown more involved in the run game.

I think Vols win but don’t cover… something like 24-20.

SP+ has TN as the 14th best offense in college football (Auburns 53th)… that’s with a true freshman QB. Tennessees issues under Huepel have largely been on defense.

UTs finished top 4 in the SEC in total offense every season under JH.

Sometimes I wonder if you guys watch games other than AU.

Brother then you need recalibrate your fandom… this is modern football in the portal/NIL era. Everyone’s got money and little depth. It’s all about who can make the fewest mistakes. SEC Saturdays are now the 12pm Sunday NFL slate.

The days of 10 pts a game 2011 saban style defenses are gone and never coming back.
The point was throwing out stats 4 games in is stupid bc the competition is not the same. … if we played Samford Saturday and punted Vandy to November would our stats look better?

quote:


Teams with multiple wins against P4 opponents with winning records so far

Auburn
Florida
Mississippi State
Oklahoma State
Texas



The defense has major issues but does anyone think it’d actually the 15th best defense in the league conference?
quote:

Not just 4th down. Our Defense currently ranks 15th out of 16 SEC teams … brutal


This is misleading… we’re 7th in scoring defense and 7th ypp… that’s after playing three competent p4 teams. Every team that ranks ahead of us in ypp has only played two p4 opponents.

Also… Auburn and ole Miss rank last in ypg… both have played Florida… prob not a coincidence.
The VU game was a weird one in terms of TOP… the blocked punt TD eliminated one of our drives in the first half.

We only had THREE drives in the second half… TD, Punt, and then the 6 min drive to ice the game.

IMO, it’s on the defense to get the frick off the field… two 7.5 minute drives in second half…. That’s got nothing to do with the offenses tempo.

At some point you are what you are when it comes to penalties… just like when Vandy yesterday.

3-2 brother

most undeserved “victory” in AU history
We’re actually one spot ahead of Ole Miss in SP+ ranking… we’re 31 they’re 32 I believe.

Lebby is in year 3… AG is 4 games in… let’s hold off on the stupidity.

Florida is a good team… offense will be very good, but teams will score on them just like we did.

As mentioned by someone earlier they are physical, way more than us. That comes from the head coach.
Baylor ran 90 plays with a qb on one leg… we could not get off the field to save our lives. Florida essentially improved on that by being more explosive.

in defense of durkin, Spavital at BU and Faulkner at UF are very good play callers… but the unfortunate reality is we are gonna face great play calllers all season, including Saturday with Tim Beck.
