Tennesee question

[Cocky53]

With all the attention on this game because of last season do the Gamecocks have a chance to win?

 

[Surfcock]

It all starts on the line. Both sides have seen improvement each week. If the coaches can improve the running game and help the youth see the errors of their ways in the secondary, I like our chances.

We still need to see more impact by the 2nd string LB’s I feel. The starters are playing to many snaps

Improve mainly on the run blocking and secondary to me those are the most important

No

No

I think we have 50% chance of winning or losing... LOL

It could go either way lol

 

[Prestonyte]

It all depends on who can stop the opponent's offense.

 

[Deleted11512]

Whoever scores the most points is going to win. You're welcome.

 

[Deleted11512]

In all seriousness, Milton is gimpy. When guys that can run have that element taken away from them, it can impact their overall game. He's not a very accurate downfield passer. Whereas they have been an explosive team in the past, they're not so much this year. It's a combination of Milton not being as good as Hooker and their WR room taking big hits, and the guys playing this year are no where near as good as the guys they had last year. Really like the matchup for us. We'll need to get the crowd out of it early.

It's just science.

No chance. It will be all about their revenge -- from beginning to end.

 

[Irvin Snibbley]

After watching the Miss State film you can bet Tenn will be going deep early and often.

Can’t revenge be a distraction!

 

[Bubba Fett]

They suck. We win. They could not do ANYTHING against the only halfway decent team they played (gaytors). We are putting the pieces together and getting better. They're working on their Halloween costumes. The +12.5 point spread is a joke, but I'm happy about it. I hope it goes higher. They've already won the game in their minds.

Good time to bring out the deep throws to Harbor and see if TN has anybody who can keep up.
If nothing else, it will draw attention away from XL.

This is funny.

Tennessee ran the ball well against everyone so far except Florida. Can we contain the run? Not sure, but it will be key. On offense, if we can run the ball at all it will certainly help Rattler open it up. Agree revenge factor at home is huge. I wouldn’t bet money on it but Go Gamecocks. It is possible, but not likely.

 

[Roosterbell]

I think play calling has to improve a bit. Our strength is the passing attack. We can't get hell bent on establishing a running game and taking the ball out of Rattlers hands. Set the run up through our passing game. Maybe a 60/40 split a little heavier on the pass.

 

[GamecockVec]

It will be a battle of the secondaries. IMO whoever's plays the best will win the game. I think the vols will win by 6

Tennessee is last in the SEC in passing plays of 20 yards (9)​

My guess is the plan will be very similar to what it was last year. No need to change it.

 

[Jonesz2]

No

So it’s just like going into the game last year

Follow up question: what happened to the missing "s"?

 

[Tusi21!!]

no.

 

[Battleship Texas]

Didn't they lose by 13 to Florida? That is a beatable team

 

[Deleted11512]

UT has posted some impressive defense stats......against UVA, Austin Peay, UF, & UTSA. UVA might be the worst P5 team in the nation. They haven't seen anything like what they're getting ready to see. Their DC, Tim Banks, probably hasn't slept much this week!

Florida got 21 first downs and 349 yards. Not too impressive

Yet they outscored the hapless vols by 13.

I posted that because the allegation of Tennessee having impressive defensive stats against Florida

 

[Bubba Fett]

I like our chances. If we can handle their homefield advantage, we win by two scores.

That's a big if. How does their crowd of Bubbas in orange stack up against ours?

 

[Dynamite Jones]

Gamecocks 34 Vols 20. We are the better team!!

been there many times & sat down low where it’s loudest. Its very loud however not deafening like they’ve led everyone to believe. Really it’s not any louder than WB on a good night. But at WB, they’re cheering for the good guys. It’s going to be fun. I think we leave happy. 31-24 Cocks

 

[Atlanta_Cock]

UT covers. We have no D and no SEC calibre RB.
