***OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: UF vs Tennessee***

I think having Anzalone would have helped a lot last year. Having him back for this game this year will be huge. I would stack the box and put Tabor and Wilson on islands. No way they get beat by Dobbs arm.

TLB doesn't own the rights to Snoopy love. I've loved Snoopy and the Peanuts gang since I was a very little boy. I remember once when I was about 6 years old or so, I had a friend in school who was moving with his family and as a goodbye gift, he gave me a Peanuts book because I loved them so much. I was quite touched by his ability to pick up on how much I loved them and that he gave "me" a gift when he was the one leaving town. To this day I still think about him and remember how that made me feel "cared about". Hope he's still doing well, where ever he is, cause I'll never forget my buddy Leon even though I never saw him again.

My name isn't Leon, and you're welcome but I want my book back.


On a serious note, not trying to compare Snoopy love, I have a pillow my Grandmother made when I was born onto which she stitched a Snoopy image where he's fighting the Red Baron. Additionally, I had a beloved sleeping bag from about age 5 well into my 30's covered with Peanuts characters. I lost that when my wife accidently destroyed it. And, I currently let my kids read from my collection of Peanuts books, but they are required to return them in pristine condition or suffer my wrath. Of all characters I've come across, this one sticks, obviously.

We didn't have Tabor in that game last year either. Having both of those guys this year will make a huge difference defensively.

Well, that's it then. UT's gonna go ahead and make arrangements for the checkerboard & confetti celebration. They can't lose!

Force Dobbs to pass and let our corners have a field day. If VT did that ( and they don't have our corners) and didn't turn the ball over then I think they win that game. And I agree, Anzalone will be big factor. I'm more worried about our offence turning the ball over than them scoring on us.

If VT doesn't turn the ball over they win. Dobbs without his feet is terrible.

We didn't think Jefferson could be us with his arm last year, and we were the only big boy team he really did. Saturday's are strange days sometimes, I just hope we don't load up for run and we get torched through the air.

Do you mean Harris?

That was crazy how he just threw it up there and the defenders screwed up on those plays. It seems we only do that type of crap against LSU and FSU for the most part however when it comes to pass defense sometimes in games and not Tenn usually.

 

[gingerlover]

We better win this one. My parents are paying for the family to take my son and nephew to Disney for the first time for their 4th birthdays. My sister is a UT alum and I don't want to put up with her crap while there. Considering how long it has been since they won their fans will be out in heavy if we somehow loose.

 

[LongTooth]

Tyler Jordan is likely out for the UT game. Ugh. OL depth already getting tested.

LB Jeremiah Moon is out for a few weeks with a thumb injury that required surgery. That stinks. The young guys need reps. Especially in the North Texas game.

Looks like Callaway will be held out vs UNT so that they can get him ready for UT.

 

[veroG8tr]

I can't wait to see the look of fear in Dobbs eyes when he see #6 and #31.

He should Adam Lane his pants after he sees the film of the interceptions by those two last week. ....Priceless.

 

[GatorStud]

Our D just needs to show up and play World Class, take the game over... nothing like hearing that stadium yammering and belly aching. Go Gators!

 

[GBHOR]

Yes, brain fart

 

[TLB]

I'd agree. Harris is a brain fart.

There was an UGA game a couple of years ago where Murray threw two 4th down prayers for TDs (cost us the game). I remember J. Watkins getting beat on one, can't remember who the other was (could have been Watkins again?). But both were well-covered and the UGA receiver out-battled our DB. That ain't happenin' this year.

@McMurphyESPN: Today is 12th anniversary of Tennessee’s last victory vs. UF. Jim McElwain was at Mich. St. then, Butch Jones at CMU http://www.espn.com/college-football/insider/story/_/id/17574857

UT will stack the box and shut out the run. Applebees will be throwing the ball god knows where. Welcome back to 2015.

Have some faith. I have no doubt Appleby will not get beat out in the passing game by alien boy even with the game in Tenn. We probably ought to let Appleby catch them by surprise a few times also and let him do some designed QB runs. Appleby is pretty tough when it comes to running the ball some. I think if we have no more than 1 turnover we beat Tenn for sure.
