If they do, we’ll eat up the clock and actually score. One thing for certain is all of CBN’s teams have successfully run the football.
We have two GREAT running backs.
And if we run the ball enough with success, the passing game could improve.
We have the best running attack we have had in a long time. CBN’s scenes account for a lot of that.
It's not enough to just hand the ball off 40 times. We have to be able to throw the ball over their heads when they stack the line and stop the run with sheer numbers. So far, AR has not shown he can do that.

Agree on the Pitt game. QB forces a pass in the end zone that should’ve actually been caught to go up 17-0, instead he tips it, INT, and the vols had life. Richardson can’t do that. If we run the ball the way we should be able to, we can keep their offense off the field and keep them out of rhythm. There’s really no shame in playing ball control, TOP football when it’s necessary in certain cases. We had plenty of those under Spurrier and Meyer, especially early on. It shouldn’t be an identity like WM wanted to make it, but it’s what we have and are right now.

We just can’t sustain drives because of turnovers and we also have a thin defensive line.

This is leading to a ridiculous TOP in favor of our opponents. We had 80 snaps on defense and only 50 on offense against USF.

Gator players better play sitting down. The plungers are coming for them.

Let me share with you why I hate UT.

I am a lifelong Gator fan. I moved to Florida when I was 4, and was immediately enamored with anything UF. When I graduated from UF in 1991, my first job took me out of the state, and my climb up the career ladder had me move to Tennessee in 1996. I expected it to be a 2 year stint.

19 years later, I am still here. This is where I bought a home, the only one my family has known. We live in a great town, suburb of Nashville with good neighborhoods and great schools, good enough to get my oldest daughter into UF. She is a freshman this year. It's really almost perfect.

Listen...my hatred for Clown College and Leghumper U is appropriately at a level so deep, so dark, that you would never speak of it at cocktail parties. Women and children weep. But living here for 19 years has elevated my hatred for UT to similar levels, despite the dominance we've had for most of my years here. Why?

First, that f*cking orange. It's everywhere. Shirts. Hats. Trucks. Hair. Signs. It's just hideous- the putrid, pumpkin shade of orange you only see in those little 4-pack of waxy, useless crayons made in Korea that kids get at sh!tty restaurants. I drive 10 miles to Lowes instead of 1/2 mile to Home Depot just to avoid that.f*cking.orange.

Next, their fans are morons. Not garden variety idiots mind you, but the fat, ugly, smelly, truck-stop hat wearing, cross-eyed, yellow-toothed, spittle when they talk mentally-defective imbeciles. They usually have sh!t all over their face when they eat. The men wear overalls, and the women muumuus. They talk sh!t all year, convinced that this is the year when it turns around to their former glory. I've been flipped off, honked at, and yelled at (in an unintelligible string of grunts) for having a gator plate on my car.

But finally... and really the reason bigger than all others...


That f*cking song.

They play it everywhere. EVERYWHERE! At the grocery store, in the elevators, at the high school games, in the parades, at funerals. It's nails on a chalkboard. You'd think it was the gap-tooth national anthem. The hillbillies stand at attention, with their crossed-eyes staring off in space like a dog hearing a high pitch whistle. I hate that f*cking song. When it comes on, my wife hides all sharp objects for fear that I will jam them into my head in an attempt to burst my eardrums.

My only salvation has been the winning streak that, each year, makes these half-witted prairie dogs go back into their holes to lick their wounds. I need 3 more years. When daughter #2 graduates, we are putting this place in our rear view mirror, never to return. Not because of our town (we will miss it), or our friends (from Vandy), or our home we came to love. No, it's because of that song.

That f*cking song.

I am coming down Saturday for the game, and will leave without a voice, which I'll leave in the stands. If I hear any hint of "that song", hide the pencils.

Go Gators.

We could beat Vandy without even attempting a pass.
We need to take an approach pretty close to this against toothless. Our running game, including AR's legs, is our strength. I think we need to throw just enough to keep their defense honest, grind it out, and control the clock.

Getting Ventrell back will hopefully slow their up-tempo offense down a little, which will contribute to our ability to control the clock offensively.

I don’t think we have a healthy QB (other than freshman Max Brown) to replace him. And I don’t think he’s doing it on the road unless AR gets hurt.
Is Kitna hurt?

I don't want to see Morningwheg 2.0 but I was under the impression he'd be next man up.

It took til page 4 but finally we're seeing some focus on the fact that it's TenneFuchsingsee Week. I don't like this lack of preparation. Were you poofsters busy watching the Queen's everlasting funeral? Where's Lulu? Where's Junior? Where's Luther Ogle? Where's the Bama fan who can't sit with that pukey, inside-of-a-pumpkin orange? And he don't like pumpkins?
