04- USC vs Auburn (Big 12 was soft like charmin in 04 it was OU/Texas and bunch of nothing look at the northern division a complete joke)
Looked it up, Auburn played one more ranked team and played 2 more top 10 teams. OU beat top 5 Texas 12-0 then squeaked by #20 OK St and #22 TAMU. Then Auburn played #15 Tennessee in the conf championship while OU played unranked colorado. Basically, it didnt add up

I want to say from a revenge angle, that Auburn's defenders would've came out to ball and stopped USC's offense, but even fukkin Tuberville admitted that it'd be hard to beat USC's OC with him having a month to prepare :shaq2::heh:

There really ain't no solid answer to that. Since day 1 there's been basically no practice footage released, but it seems that JF3 is at least able to hit open receivers. That's a start. If we find out what running back will start before the QB, I could give you a legitimate answer. I don't see him starting if one of our lighter backs are starting (you cant have two speed options on a read option)

After watching Last Chance U, I am rooting for JF3. But I don't know. :patrice:

Gus is going to have to coach his ass off....

I assume Gus ready for it :manny: with this schedule its basically boom or bust. We already know what boom is :takedat:....we also know what bust is:sadcam:

I do think 7 wins would get him back as long as those 5 losses were close as hell. But realistically with this talent and where the SEC is currently at we shouldnt lose 5 games. Clemson, LSU, Ole Miss, Alabama are the only games I'd be really okay with losing. The rest are either toss ups or embarrassments.

edit ole miss and lsu are toss ups too, fukk them nikkas.

Sit the fukk down with that most talented since 01 Miami this Tennessee team isn't even top 5 of the SEC schools past 10 years as far as P4P talent level.

I'm telling y'all right now so you can remember I said it first.

This team will have slightly less 1st round picks than 2001 Miami. Right now I got 12-14 guys with potential to be first rounders. Slightly less than the 17 on 2001 Miami.

And overall I got 30-35 guys with potential to be drafted. Slightly less than the 39 drafted players on 2001 Miami.

And FYI these are conservative estimates on my part. We could exceed both those estimates.

This Tennessee squad isn't even sniffing 2012 FSU talent level fukk outta here with that 01 Miami shyt this nikka really got me wanting Florida to win now.

2012 FSU had a lot of guys drafted, I don't see lots of NFL stars coming from that class.

2016 Vols should produce more high level NFL stars. And by high level I mean perennial pro bowlers/all-pros.

Just watch and see how much we dominate this year. Florida is getting skull drug all around Neyland on September 24.

This Tennessee team ain't sniffing Alabama 09-13 talent either :mjlol:

If Tennessee has a Julio, Ingram, Trent, AJ, Howard, Cooper, Maze, Dareus, Chapman, Milliner, Collins, Yeldon, Lacy, Hightower, Kirkpatrick, Upshaw, Fluker, B. Jones, Warmack, Barron, McClain, Arenas, Kareem...and that's just a small amount that we had...if Tennessee has players better than them then you gotta show me

From that list the only non-scrubs is Julio and Dareus. The rest are NFL busts with the jury still out on Cooper.

Alabama isn't really close to being the best SEC school at producing NFL stars. LSU and Georgia are.

Sit yo lil ass down bruh. We had as many NFL top 100 players this year (Eric Berry) as y'all (Julio Jones).

Alabama = NFL bust U

Yeah that didn't even need to be mentioned

Alabama
Florida
LSU
Georgia

All them have had teams with better NFL talent on them at once going back to 06

I'm not talking about the past. I'm talking about the FUTURE.

These 2016 Vols squad will go down alongside 2008-09 Florida and 2001 Miami as the most NFL talent laden college roster since the turn of the century.

We got 12-14 first rounders and 30-35 draftable players on our squad.

Just sit back and grab the popcorn cause one of the greatest teams in college football history takes the field Sept. 1. And thats when the show starts.

2016 Vols got so many future NFL stars you guys know nothing about:

- Junior TE Ethan Wolf is the next coming of Panthers superstar Greg Olsen. The kid is 6'6", athletic, rangy, and has great hands. Will be a perenial pro-bowler in the NFL.

- Junior CB Justin Martin is an athletic freak. He's Dre Kirkpatrick with 4.3 speed. 6'2" corner with some of the craziest long arms I've ever seen. IMO he has a heigher celiling than Cam Sutton who could have been a first round pick last year. NFL scouts will be salivating over this kid.

- RS Sophomore FS Rashaan Gaulden is Tennessee's version of the Honey Badger. The kid is tough as nails and hits like a brick for 175 lbs. He was the talk of fall camp last year before a broken foot ended his season. Expect him to blow this year and for everyone to learn his name.

- Sophomore LB Darrin Kirkland Jr. - Everyone knows about Jalen Reeves-Maybin. But this kid was Tennessee's best LB by season's end. He's incredible fast and explosive with tremendous instints. The next Bobby Wagner IMO.

- Sophomore WR Preston Williams - I don't know if he'll be a NFL star but in college, expect him to have an impact like USC legend Dwayne Jarrett. The kid is 6'4", long, rangy, and with incredible hands. He'll blow up and become an All-American in 2016. Don't say I ain't warn y'all.

This is just a lil appetizer of the freakish talent we have on this roster that no one knows about just yet.
