Link: Tennessee JUCO Signee Jonathan Kongbo Says UT will Beat Everyone in 2016

I guess he forgot to look at the 2016 schedule...
Looking at the schedule I see 5 wins for sure. App state, Virginia Tech, Tenn Tech, Vandy and Ohio.
Their SEC Schedule:, not so sure. It depends on coaches and where they have their teams at mentally and physically. Tennessee is very close. Florida can build on their miracle season last year. Georgia could contend right away. SEC EASt is going to be brutal battle between Tenn, SC and Florida.

More trash talk this offseason than I can remember in previous offseasons. I hope our boys stay quite and just keep grinding. All this trash talk shows that Alabama's in their head. They're more concerned about beating Alabama than they are about improving themselves. Also shows the difference in head coaches. I couldn't imagine Saban allowing players to run their mouth to the media about who we're going to beat next season..
I believe the record shows that Alabama has been figuring out how to win quite a bit over the last 10 years. Tennessee? Not so much . . .
We talk about comments of the ole miss faithful and you get to thinking it's mostly because of the 2 game success. Tennessee is on a 9 game losing streak to the Tide and they're as loud and obnoxious as their uniforms. I think it's a trend.
Since the whole conference has beat us in the off-season, might as well forfeit and cut our losses.
I am glad the young man is confident. If he come out saying "I think we're an 8 or 10 win team" I might be worried.

UTe is developing the requisite combination of talent and experience. On any given Saturday, with both teams rested and relatively injury free, they can beat anybody.
What a lot of fans and talking heads lose track of, however, is that the SEC is God's own grind. No one game is all that debilitating. It's the mental and physical erosion that takes place over an eight-game schedule. Especially in the SECw, it's just brutal.
In 2016, UTe plays a murderer's row of Florida (home), UGA (road), aTm (road), then us in Knoxville.
Yes, Alabama after three SEC games, the previous two on the road, with no off weeks. If they run that undefeated, they deserve NC discussion. I don't think they can do it.
Welcome to the world without Roy Kamer as SEC Commissioner.

Tennessee has a pretty easy schedule other than that 4-game stretch. Pretty much if they get past Alabama week with only 1 loss of the ledger, I'm pretty sure they win the East.
I'd love for them to get a surprise whipping from Virginia Tech to start the season. Unlikely to happen but the way I see it is VT has an entirely retooled offense under a new HC with yet another young, electric dual-threat QB who has now had time to mature under the pressure of game time - and at the same time they retained Bud Foster and his aggresive defense. Additionally - with the new HC and offense, it will be something that UT can't prepare very well for because they've never seen that exact iteration. Meanwhile Foster will know exactly what to look for from UT's offense. You never know - it could e a close one.
Also I love how a guy who has never played a snap of Division 1 football (or SEC football) knows that UT will run the board. All he has to compare with is practice against his own team. That's a great way to get your feelings hurt.

Tennessee has only beaten Alabama without benefit of an extra week TWICE in the last twenty years - 1997 and 2004.......two of the weaker teams in Alabama history (the latter losing the starting QB in week 3).
