    UT has nothing to lose in this game. They will have their crowd in it. They are a mini Alabama, who can run the ball and throw deep. Dogs better be ready.

    Dawgs 42-TN 17

    The Tigers more than doubled the Bulldogs rushing yardage that day — 219-107 — and won the turnover battle by a 2-1 margin.

    But, but……the good guys still won!

    And remember, many folks talked up that Neyland Stadium atmosphere the last time the Vols lost…..

    It was when we put a forty burger on them….41-17!!

    Go Dawgs! Hate on Vols!

    So while the Vols are coming off a 36-7 road loss at Missouri, defensive lineman Kurott Garland believes the Vols will be prepared to be back in their raucous home stadium.

    “I feel like if we can carry our mentality and our focus, and make sure we’re more honed into this upcoming game, then we should be ready for them,” Garland said.

    This guy reminds of that Floriduh lineman who was saying, before that game, that “ they had to play us “….

    You all remember how that turned out, right!?

    Go Dawgs!

    Some would have you to think the Vols are an injured animal playing with nothing to lose. That can be really dangerous if true. DAWGS better be prepared for a cat fight and if the orangemen turn out to be underwhelming- then just give it to the next gen and let them get some good reps in.

    Everyone has a plan.... our OLine is much better now than it was against Vandy. UT may score on the first drive but, we win easily.

    I think the best gameplan would be is to shut down the run as quick as possible. Milton, while showing flashes, is not a qb who consistently can beat teams with his arm. Teams like mizzou and Bama showed with enough pressure and shutting off the run game, tennessee is no good one dimensional. We keep their offense off the field and we'll eventually wear down that defense and take the crowd out of the game. I feel like we could either win this handily or if we make some mistakes(ST/penalties), it'll make it very interesting. And with Kirby saying that the team didn't practice good yesterday, it begins to make you nervous. Tennessee could very well be a 1 loss team right now. But like others have said, they got nothing to lose, so they'll come at us hard. We just gotta be ready.

    Okay, Vols, we'll see you Saturday.

    I just hope the floodgates are working properly. Cause that’s allot of tears pouring in Neyland after the Dawgs thrash them yet Again !! Go Dawgs !! Put the hurt on them orange people !!

  • navydawgnavydawg Posts: 3,369 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    Neyland or No Neyland if the Dawgs bring close to their A game they Will win. Even if they bring their B game will make it more difficult but Still win. The They Had A Bad Practice thing from Kirby is a motivator tactic. I bet he’s pushing them Hard today and all the while Reminding them Glory is short lived.

    Vols having to play Mizzou at Columbia gave the yellow clad Tigers some what of an edge, but not THAT big of an edge. They Stomped the Vols !! So figuring Neyland in Will help the Vols some. But not nearly enough. Just to much talent on this Dawgs team. I won’t try to give a score prediction, but Dawgs will win by at least 17 points, At Least.

    This is going to be a blowout. Why? Brock Bowers, Kendall Milton, Dajun Edwards, Ladd McKonkey.

    Course they do have two weapons that we don’t have. Their field with its dips that make you think your on the ocean. And playing Rocky Top over and over again until you think your gonna 🤮.

    P.S. On a serious note I wonder Have they did any work on that field ?? I know I’ve read where several SEC schools and even a couple of non conference schools have complained about how unlevel that field is. If not the SEC Commish should step in and compel them to fix it. ALL SEC fields should have to meet certain standards of quality. Especially now with two more schools joining the conference.

    The game vs Vandy should have been played at an alternate site with the construction work they have going on. I make no exceptions for UGA, as Dawgs fans we Want It to be the crown jewel of the SEC or should. Not just for attendance capacity and comfort, but also the quality of the field to play on.

    We should want and embrace being known as a high quality, Elite venue for games to be played. I haven’t been to a game in a long, long time due to my health, but I’ve read that UGA has invested $$ millions and $$ millions over the last ten to fifteen years in particular. That’s good !!

    As B2B Ntl. Champions and Hopefully a 3Peat Champion we want Sanford Stadium and Dooley Field to be the very essence of Elite !! And every other element of Dawgs football !! Go Dawgs !!
