well if the few ut players and coaches that know how to count to 4 took the time to explain it to the others, they would run afoul of the ncaa practice time limitations.Have they changed the rules so that the Vols only have to play three quarters?
they have a pretty wicked 4 game stretch (florida at home, uga and t a and m on the road and us at home) in the middle of their season. plus they have to deal with all of the emotional baggage of playing at a nascar stadium this year.Hey I do think this is going to be a break out year of sorts for Tennessee with a ton of experience returning. Florida is rebuilding, Georgia and South Carolina are starting over with new coaching staffs, and the rest of the East sucks.
We've also beaten them 9 straight games and they get us at home. It hasn't set up this nicely for them in many years.
But I would not encourage anyone to bet anything significant on Butch Jones leading them to a 12-0 season.
That's my thought as well!they have a pretty wicked 4 game stretch (florida at home, uga and t a and m on the road and us at home) in the middle of their season. plus they have to deal with all of the emotional baggage of playing at a nascar stadium this year.
i also don't think the uga game is going to bode well for them. i think kirby will have that one circled
I forgot about the game at Bristol vs. Virginia Tech (also with a new coaching staff). If they lose that opener... not good.they have a pretty wicked 4 game stretch (florida at home, uga and t a and m on the road and us at home) in the middle of their season. plus they have to deal with all of the emotional baggage of playing at a nascar stadium this year.

i think they actually open with appy state and then the next week play the hokies. the opener could have trap game qualities if you have a team that is convinced they are going to go undefeated this year and establish themselves atop the sec east just because they want it really bad.I forgot about the game at Bristol vs. Virginia Tech (also with a new coaching staff). If they lose that opener... not good.
I agree with you, there are a ton of losable opportunities for them and that's why I wouldn't bet on anything. I've never been sold on Butch Jones being a top tier coach.
And they don't get their usual bye the week before Alabama.they have a pretty wicked 4 game stretch (florida at home, uga and t a and m on the road and us at home) in the middle of their season.
It was even closer in 2009. They had us beaten were it not for Terrence Cody's armpit.Well they've recruited well, seem to have an experienced roster, and they play in a weak SEC East. If they can't at least get by their east foes then butch truly can't coach and I hope he sticks around. Having them favored against us is a stretch though -- they played it close on our field last year, sure, but that doesn't have anything to do with this year's game.
