I'm not feeling too great about the game either. :L

Defensively I think we should be okay, they have an inexperienced O-Line and QB and average RB's and WR's. I think we should be able to get pressure on Grier/Harris, whoever they start. I'm just worried about our offense. Florida's defense is really good, especially their secondary. I think they rush us a lot and force our O-Line to make key blocks(and I'm not confident they're able to). Not to mention it will be Dobbs first true road game in a hostile environment. Whoever rushes for more yards in this game generally wins and I think we have the advantage at RB, so if we're able to run the ball effectively I think it should be our game to lose. In my opinion the keys to the game is our offensive line and Dobbs being able to make key passes when he has to. I'm just not confident in this game at all, but that could be 10 years worth of losses speaking

Yeah, my main concern is Dobbs not being able to pass the ball against a pretty good UF secondary. If we can't get any type of running game going, then we're probably screwed. Hopefully the defense will play well, and our offense will do just enough to get us a win. I think it's gonna be a close game either way.

Our secondary is very average. Our d-line is very good which probably helps the secondary look better. If you guise can get passes off quickly, you'll move the ball. The QB has to have the nuts to make passes with the heat comin'.

As for our offense...I dunno.

Lessons from the 2nd half of the OK game - QB performance will be key to the Vols chances. The UF D line will bring the heat. Play calling, run schemes w. trap blocks, quick/disguised screens, quick, accurate passes over the middle can reduce the impact. The Vols can advance the ball, extend drives, create scoring opportunities. Then, test the secondary deep. There is a way for the Vols to win. Execution is the key.

The first time Butch brings Medley on to miss a 45 yard field goal on 4th & 1 I will throw every drink in my fridge at the screen.
