This.

He can be erratic - seems to go multiple consecutive drives with some pretty wild misses. But when hes locked in, combined with his running the dude is hard to contain. I don't think we'll face a more dynamic playmaker all year.

Daniels is a hell of a lot better QB than Richardson. Richardson is very erratic. He is one hell of an athlete though

Daniels can’t make a lot of the throws Richardson made vs Tennessee.


Richardson was throwing absolute lasers in that game.

453 yards passing, 62 rushing, 515 total yards and 4TDs vs a top 10 team. Some of those throws you won’t find 3 other QBs in the country who can make em. He maybe inconsistent and inexperienced but he’s as talented as anybody in the country.

I can see Pitt and Fla going 2-0 against Fla State, for whatever it's worth.

Why are we talking about Tennessee instead of Auburn? This isn't the year to overlook conference road games. We aren't the program we used to be.

LSU should beat Tennessee.

Make no mistake Tennessee is better than they have been.

Yes, the formations the offense use are very difficult and open up the entire field.

I honestly think Tenn is very similar to UCF in 2018 bowl game. obviously with the same Head Coach, but I think UCF had a better defense than current Tenn.

I dont know man. Our local expert, Matt Moscona seems to think they will go 10-2 with losses to Bama and UGA, and get to be the SEC rep at the Sugar Bowl!

I think they are very good and not very good at being consistently good.

We don’t though. They do. My focus doesn’t impact team play at all.

Tennessee's offense is crazy. The got 3 WRs that can do serious damage and Hendon Hooker is a heisman level weapon.

We held Will Rogers to 214 and the Air Raid as a whole to 289. Our pass defense has greatly improved.

Will Rogers cant run for shite, his WRs dropped a ton of passes and arent nearly on the same level as Tennessees. UT legit has 3-4 NFL caliber weapons among their WR/TE group.

Yea, Hendon Hooker has wheels and Tennessee’s offense is a different animal in terms of talent compared to Miss St. It’s going to be a bit more challenging defending Tennessee than it was in week 3 vs State.

It depends upon what you consider "that good".

A real contender to win the SEC? Probably not
The third best team in the conference? Maybe

They have a veteran QB playing in an offense that is tough to defend. They are good enough to beat LSU (though the reverse is true as well) and probably good enough to scare Alabama or Georgia if things go well.

The next 5 weeks will define their season. After the bye, they are @ LSU then home vs. Alabama. They then play UT Martin before hosting Kentucky and going to Georgia. If they can win 2 of those 4 games it's hard to not see them finishing 10-2.
