What team should I cover next? What did I get right/wrong?
Duke
Don’t really think they were in the playoff scene in 2021. They got smoked in Athens and then lost to SC. They haven’t won the east in a while. They’re better than they were but they’re not championship level yet imho
@@douggarrett5288not an excuse but there was ties from the Michigan sign stealing thing. Only game SC wore wrist bands as well. Check it out. Also it was 22 season.
With a better defense they could have been in playoff easy.
@TbagGumps 💯 In 2021 we had backup kickers taking reps at linebacker and one guy named Matthew Butler on the D-line ready to compete at an SEC level. The fact we won 11 games the following year is an absolute miracle. 2023 was said to show Milton wasn't as good as Hooker and the receivers took a step back. That may be true, however, in my opinion, it showed just how much better Alex Golesh could call the Heuple offense better than Halzle. A lot goes into that, but I think we missed the Golesh play calling a lot more than anyone is talking about. 2024 is by far the best team Heuple has ever assembled to this point. If Joey H can take a step, this team could be very good. We have SEC caliber lines, and most of our skill positions are much improved as well. Go Vols!
@@christopherwelch192 i was saying that from florida game on last year. Everyone kept saying, "its Hypes offense". My response is cant always see defensive formations from sideline. Halzle will hopefully gets better this year. Also play calling looked limited to 1/2 the field bc of QB play.
I'm finally in, and I'm currently walking on to the team.
Practices are crazy, are there anyone that believed in me and told me that I can do it thank you very much I appreciate it.
Good luck, dude. Hope you get some game time.
@xliquidflames Thank you very much, that means a lot to me.
🙏🏾
@@GrapeTeaNews Thanks for the prayer.
Fundamentals young man. Patience and hard work. You are a Volunteer and we are damn proud to have you represent!
You're overlooking Cooper Mays as the second most important offensive player on the team.
Mays is the most important imo, he has the most snaps out of any O-lineman on the team and is responsible for setting up our up- tempo offense (which is something any center going from a standard offense would struggle with)
Jesus he’s still there?
@@Bubbles---after seeing how the o-line immediately turned around with out there, yeah, he's way up there in importance.
Tennessee 10-2 and make playoffs
That’s hopeful but possible, means they have to run the table outside of Bama and Georgia. The odds they beat both or even one of them aren’t great. And I see a few other games that can go either way. It will come down to how consistent Nico is more than likely, as a first year starter to expect there to be some dips in there.
😅😅😅
Gonna go unbeaten and run through the playoffs
Thank you, Scott! You always show love to my Tennessee Vols! I’m also happy for you and a good friend of mine who is also a Missouri native/fan… for the successful season last year!
2021 we had Matthew Butler.. Now, we have a team of Matthew Butler! Let's play some football! Go Vols!
Yessir I think we have one of the best defensive lines in the nation!! Gonna be a fun year
God, I can't wait!!! I enjoy watching the Braves, but, football needs to hurry up and get here!
10-2 Go Vols! See ya in the playoffs! 🏈🍊⬜️🟧⬜️🟧⬜️🟧⬜️🟧⬜️🟧⬜️🟧⬜️⬜️🟧⬜️🟧⬜️🟧⬜️🟧⬜️🟧⬜️🟧⬜️🟧⬜️
Life time TN fan here, if we can go 9 wins with a chance at 10 in a bowl game I’m happy. Our defense is a toss up in the pass game; but I think Keenan P. Will have a big year and surprise a bunch of people. If our WR’s can stay engaged when inevitably some of the talented guys don’t get snaps, then I think it’s possible. Excited to watch them go, and Sampson is great, but unsure of how our backups will do
As a Tennessee fan. That is an acceptable prediction. But since I’m biased, rightly so, I think we’ll win it all!
dude tn sports is killing it right now. tn in every sport is superb. just won baseball title. eleite 8 in b ball. good at football. titans may be a top team this season. and the preds just added 2 stupid good players.
@@deathgrinderb3284 Yes!!!! I’m very well pleased!!!!!
Thank you for all of your entertaining content! Your my favorite content creator
Look out for Tyre West and Jonathan Josephs in the front 7 along with Pearce (Von Miller 2.0). They removed a lot of dead weight in the secondary and should be much improved.
The defense is now a strength. I don't foresee a lot of 52-49 games moving forward. I wouldn't be shocked to see a 48-13 average score this season.
With Nico and MacIntyre leading the way, Tennessee may dominate the next 4 years.
Joshua Josephs is a guy who could have a big Pearce like step. Also don’t forget that we have Omarr Norman-Lott playing beside Omari Thomas.
Like the predictions but if Tennessee goes 10-2 they will for sure be in.
2 of the recruits you didn't mention are boo Carter and Marcus gore I graduated with them so it's really cool to see guys that I went to school with on my favorite college team boo transfered to Bradley for his senior year and helped us go to the state championship so thay was really cool I never did really talk to them much though but I thought that was cool
Isn't Cam Seldon #2 Rb?
Yeah but he’s not 100% rn
The 2 corners you mentioned will be battling for a starting spot and ricky Gibson is your #1
I said it's great to be a tennessee vol 🎉
I think Tennessee’s offense is going to be flying high with that young quarterback they have but it’s gonna come down to their defense. Can they make the stops? Can they get the ball back? I think with that hotshot quarterback, running the show they won’t need to do that a lot. But that’s gonna be the difference and having that two extra wins or something.
Joe Milton and a inconsistent WR room really held us back last year. I’m hoping they can put it together next year with Nico. There is a lot of games on our schedule that could go either way. We’ll just have to see
Respect to the rational Tennessee man, theres unknowns here. So I like to go worst case and best case, best case is most likely 10-2. Worst case 8-4, I would probably go in the middle with 9-3. Nico plays well overall but has some ups and downs and although they have made some moves to sure up the defense. I think they still live ants die by the offense.
@@williamwhitfield6225 the defensive line and linebackers will be really good. It’s still the secondary that is unknown.
@@chadr7522 I think the DL is going to be elite, or at least the starters will. I don’t know about the inside backers but if they’ve got a good an interior front eating up double teams they’ll be fine. The outside backers are good, but they run a 3-4 right? So they’re part of the front 90% of the time. That unit should dominate everyone outside of UGA and Bama. But depth is always a concern and that’s really Tennessee’s issue defensively besides the completely new secondary. Which I would be afraid of as a Tennessee fan, it seems like a very similar situation LSU was in last year with a whole bunch of guys from the portal who have never played together. I don’t know man on paper I feel like they should only lose to Bama and UGA and that would have them in the playoffs. I just don’t trust Tennessee like that yet and as good as Nico may be what percentage of his potential do we expect him to reach? It’s a tough one to call for me but 9-3 sounds right, but I would not be shocked if they went 10-2.
I respect your prediction. I just find it hard to believe that a 10-2 Tennessee team would miss the playoffs, because in 2022, they BARELY missed the 4 team playoff with the same record and both losses were on the road.
Unfortunately the invitational committee hates Tennessee
Tennessee didn't deserve the playoffs.
We where straight up robbed in Tuscaloosa last year. If you watched that game you know what I'm talking about. Non calls hurt as much as bad calls and the spot of the ball maybe just as important. Nevertheless they got that and sure we obviously couldn't overcome that ( home field) advantage! We where not good enough that day. We will see yall again:)
I haven't forgotten.
Cry abt it. Y’all are just sorry
the 2015 tax slayer bowl pic got me lol
A lot of hype around Merklinger, Seldon was RB2 until shoulder injury in spring. Lewis should be if he can get healthy as well
Seldon is still Rb2, it will be DeSean Bishop at 3
Solid breakdown. TN defensive line is extremely deep with lots of upperclassmen
Played against Khalifa in HS, dawg fr
We don’t know how good Nico is
DLine will be top in SEC if not the country.
12-0 I promise I’m not biased
If vols go 10-2 we in
All the Vols football players just witnessed first hand objective reality of what a UT natty win looks like and that was only baseball... one can imagine what a follow up football nat title looks like, hell it might break reality ..data assimilated!
Now let me add some noamata..
This UT baseball team started the season ranked #9
could you cover washington next? they have a super underrated roster right now and just had a couple huge recruiting weekends. they are a very interesting team and i think they would make a great video
Nobody cares about Washington
@@GobigOrange901your wrong, pretty obvious your not a CFB fan. I see your a Vols fan as am I but I’m a fan of the game as well. I don’t think Washington can duplicate last season but would absolutely like to see some preseason takes on last years playoff team that lost a lot of talent from a year ago. GBO🍊🍊
@@GobigOrange901 shut up lil bro 🤣
Not a bad breakdown you did not really get into the matchups of offensive line versus defensive line or DB from one team versus Tennessee’s receivers or linebackers from one team versus Tennessee’s linebackers, backfield and slot guys but I like the video I think Tennessee can go anywhere from eight and 4 to 11 and one
Let’s please NOT overhype them. Every damn time that happens, they under deliver
😂😂😂 you’re right brother. Peace from Murfreesboro 🇺🇸👍
They aren’t hyped up that much tbh. We are under the radar a lot and like it bc that’s how it was in 2022. They though we would be really good but not that good
@@wesday2547 I just don’t want it to ramp up here before we get started 😂😂
@@wesday2547 Uh …. Ok
Good vid but cam seldom is rb n.2 not the other guys he's just hurt rn
Can you do a video on what happened to John Kelly? He was a Tennessee RB that exploded onto the scene in 2017 and haven’t heard hardly anything about him since
That'd be a great video. Dude was supposed to be the next Alvin Kamara.
He just always found himself in a backfield with really good competition, in college he paired up with Kamara/Hurd in the pros (Rams) it was Gurley/Brown and now he's with the Browns where he was up against Chubb/Hunt (until Hunt was released) dude just was never given a chance because no matter where he went he found himself surrounded by extremely good talent, he's bounced around the practice squad for most of his pro career
He's in browns organization mostly practice squad
John Kelly has been playing in the NFL.
I think TN actually handles OU and only loses to my Dawgs.
TN is on the verge if they can just figure out defense.
Ricky Gibson starts
Boo Carter remember that name
Sounds about right.... But Vols could beat the Sooners & then lay an egg vs. Hogs ! Hope not but they could get Overconfident starting out 4-0 ! 🤔
Oweweee … Mike Mathews.. boo Carter. Freshman will make impact
Ohhh
I’m an ORIGINAL UT (University of Texas) fan and after looking at the Vol schedule, I think they have a legit shot.
Original UT? We were a school before you were even a state...
@@xBIGORANGExfr
You all are TU
You wouldn’t be a state without the Volunteers from Tennessee
Sorry all you little ones. Your emotions have the best of you. It doesn’t matter when your “school” was established. University of Texas IS the true UT with orange and white. Your pathetic whining bores me🥱. HOOKE’EM HORNS🤘!!!
It’s hard to predict cause only loss I see is Georgia
What about that big time freshman out of Missouri. Bradley out of Platte City
Will be a sophomore this year and I highly doubt he starts. Vols have more depth on DL than any other position.
@@brentpitts7879 Thanks 👍🏿
@@warrendavis1442 no problem and Go Big Orange
11-1 I’m calling it only loss is to Georgia
I think they go 11-1 only losing to Georgia and they beat Alabama again this year
Personally, I think you should lose the phrase "he isn't worth mentioning in this video". If you don't want to mention somebody, then just move on to your next sentence.
Ricky Gibson will probably start over mcmurray and turrentine over carter great video!
How do you feel about our CBs this year? Do you think we upgraded in terms of talent wise? Idk why but that position group worries me the most
@@GobigOrange901 we are much more athletic in the secondary.
Jermod McCoy and Ricky Gibson seem to he really legit at corner. We no longer have slow DB's.
@@PallahDaOracle yea jt was really hard to watch McDonald and slaughter constantly get beat on post routes. Hadden was our only solid corner til he got injured. Gabe Juedy wasn’t bad either just wish he woulda came back mainly for depth purposes but i am excited about some of these transfers!
We beat OU and are 11-1. If 10-2 the 2nd loss will be FL or Gumps
This brother did zero research. . .
2nd most important offensive player is cooper mays and it isn't close. . .
Seldon is easily the #2 RB. he was just injured for spring. He most likely ends up the Bell Cow. Lewis will be RB3
Staes doesn't sniff Davis' potential as pass catching TE. The best blocking TE is Miles from Alabama
At CB. it will be Gibson who runs a laser 4.3-4.4 and was coveted by UGA. McCoy will be opposite of him. McMurray will be and is CB3
Star will be Jourdan Thomas, and if his injury bug continues expect Boo to take his spot.
Safety is most likely Jakobe Thomas and Andre Turrentine. . . Outside side for both Will Brooks and John Slaughter starting though
On Bradley. . . when Ross stepped on Campus he was already ahead of him on the depth chart. Bradley doesn't love ball enough from what i've read/ been told, and more likely then not won't sniff the field at UT
No chance Vols lose to OU, Only questionable game is GA.
Best 11-1 low 9-3 but i see 10-2 as a UT fan myself. we should be deboer and bama at home but you never know. oklahoma, heupel will be out for revenge and beat his alma mater. i said 10-2 bc we won’t b favored vs bama even at home and we’ll lose to uga
No way that we lose to Oklahoma
Georgia will beat Tennessee but I think it will be closer than people think
Just like the thought the last two years.
If Tennessee be beats NC State, I think they will jump all over Oklahoma!!! Go Big Orange 🍊!!!!
lets get some WVU talk 👀👀
I have a Garrett Greene video coming up soon!
Lsu next?
Do Rutgers vid
No way Tennessee loses against OKU. 11-1 for the season.
you play at oklahoma, plus were more expierienced team. you should mark that game as a loss.
11-1. Write it down
Tennessee beats Oklahoma
Right-little
Wrong -alot
Brandon who???
Tired of people sleeping on Turrentine and Ricky Gibson
Tennessee will beat Oklahoma… going into Georgia undefeated.. & will probably win.. Nico is a problem. They will go to the Playoffs
Tennessee isn't beating georgia, they will shut down that gimmick offense like they did the last two years.
They win in Oklahoma and lose to albama
Could be, but if this team is putting up 2022 offensive numbers, it's TN over Bama in Neyland, as this Bama team won't be anything like Bama's 2022 team with Bryce Young offensively. Plus, TN is a far deeper team than in 2022 or last year. OU game will tell us a lot. I think TN is the deeper team and by far better defensively than OU is expected to be this year.. again. 112th ranked secondary is not good from last year, so that must be better I think to beat TN.
Good breakdown but I don't think UGA beats anyone whose ranked by more than a TD. This UGA team has lost a ton of experience and if TN beats Bama, I think UGA is in trouble at home. I think by the time the TN UGA game rolls around, UGA already has two losses. I think they have to be more dynamic this year and they trailed in 7 first half games last season. Trailed by 14-0 vs SC? One score winners over GT and AU. I just don't think this is even close to the same UGA team it was two years ago. They have depth but this will be the closest in depth TN and UGA have been in a long time and I'd give the D line advantage to TN. In 22, TN gave them their Ball State game plan in a game they really didn't care to win. As we saw what happens when you lose late in the season in the SECCG, you could be out of the playoffs with only that loss, as UGA found out. If UGA last season would have lost to AU and not went to the SECCG, they would have been in the playoffs imo. They would have had weeks to climb back up the playoff rankings. I think TN goes 11-1 with a loss to either UGA or Bama, but beats OU. That 16 OU team was better than OU will be this season and TN is by far this year better than their 16 team.
Buddy UGA has been beating Tennessee senseless for the last 7 years. Remember 2022
Hard to agree with everything you said about UGA but i agree that they aren’t the same as the 21-22 teams. They have a rough stretch of games in November and I think they do drop 2 games this Season. I think the Vols are gonna be a tough out for anybody this year, if the got UGA in Neyland I would pick the Vols preseason, I sure hope your prediction is right GBO 🍊🍊
@@user-qp2uw2im5n I'm merely going on stats here but when a team falters from lofty heights, it always starts with stats slipping. It's fair to pick UGA away but by the time that game rolls around, we are going to know exactly who these two teams are. I see more upside for TN this season than UGA. TN advantage in scheme . D line depth imo, slight TN advantage. And the QB, well it really depends on how efficient our Tempo Spread runs vs UGA typical non-dynamic stuff. The Bama vs UGA SECCG last year was a clear indication that UGA needs more dyanmics to beat the better teams. Going to be watching that UGA vs Clemson early matchup closely. IN 21 when UGA played Clemson, they didn't score a single offensive point against Clemson in that game. Whens the last time a national title winner did that? Never.
@@morganadamo4706 We beat UGA for a decade strait and it took 5 bad coaching hires, 3 AD's and 3 chancellors and 17 years all so UGA could just pull head by a few games in the series. lol Buddy lol. IN 22 we already learned what UGA found out the hard way in 23. And that is do what you have to do to avoid an SECCG and a potential loss, when you are already in the playoffs. We gave UGA the Ball state game plan and had no interest in beating UGA. Why run the risk of losing in the SECCG and no playoffs? You got a first hand lesson on why it's more important to position yourself for the playhoffs than risk a playoff position in a meaningless SECCG. You think we gave you our best game in 22? lol We ran half our plays offensively, no island set, no tempo and we barely spread you on D lol. And no one asked a single question about that game for a 14 point loss at UGA. IF we wanted that game, we would have taken it and you weren't Bama on either side of the ball in 22.. lol You think UGA could have scored 52 on Bama? LOL IN your dreams son lol. And it took sign stealing to beat us in SC. But good news, your schedules are finally harder now, so no more cake schedules lol
@@gwhite7136This will be Kirby’s best team. Tennessee hasn’t closed the gap, it’s probably wider now. It will be another blowout win…..Texas, Ole Miss and Bama are the only games where UGA will have to be almost perfect because they’re all on the road….
How u call Iowa a bad team with all there starters and top defense ur a goofy
Omar Norman-Lott: Sacramento-region 🔥. Out west greats boosting goober Tennessee. 😂
I want pay back
Tennessee volunteers will be 12-0
The volunqueers !!! Just kidding!! Tennessee is alright but War Damn Eagle!!! We are crootin like madmen for a damn change and the product will be much better. I think UT will be competitive this year and definitely next year. We don't play this year and I will be pulling for them to go far. UT is a sweet place indeed.
I'm glad the Joe Milton error is over at Tennessee. He was pathetic
Tennessee Bama will be the most schematically interesting game in the SEC, but I’ll take Bama in that one.
When we are 4 games in, we'll know if Milroe is still the QB cause if he is, this means his passing has risen quite a bit and running Kalen's offense very well. However, I'm not sure it'll match TN's and at TN is a tall ask. I won't be Bryce Young's 22 offense for Bama and I think it may need to be to win at TN. Should be a fun game though.
Tennessee is NOT losing to Oklahoma, our d-line is going to eat in that game
Man I hope so I want that game bad but tbh we haven’t had much success on the road like last years Floridas game EVERYONE had us winning that game and we blew it. We didn’t have cooper mays that game but we still shoulda won. I really hope Nico lights them up through the air
Bru McCoy does not create separation. He has good hands and is a fantastic blocker. Nevertheless, he just dies bit get open. He is good at making contested catches, but he dies not get open. I do not believe that a broken leg will help him create separation.
Gonna be the same old little orange. By the end of October they’ll be crying “next year is our year!”
Bro this happens ever year. People hype the fuck outta Tennessee, they look good in the first 6-7 games and then they meet a high caliber team like UGA, Bama or whoever, lose and the rest of the season gets thrown in the trash
After a 11-2 season, yes they got some hype. Other than that we haven't be hyped up in 20 years.
new year same thing i see
Ur just As bad at the media always donning the vols even if they go 10 2 u said they lose bye 4 touchdown to GA lmao
Ur out look is a joke u say got killed bye one team lost nye a touchdown
He did not cover one fact Tennessee has to play UGA
New year, same ole shit, re: the VoLOL's.
It’s always could from Tennessee yet it’s the same thing everytime. Failure, until I see it with my own eyes I don’t believe the hype.
they have a mid season and the nico kid transfers to Florida state
Yeah, but they have to beat Florida. That's one thing they haven't done. Something always happens for them to lose that game. I don't think Heupel has ever beaten them. I think they'll be undefeated going to The Swamp and they take their first loss to the Gators. They'll also lose to Alabama and Georgia. But, they'll win the rest. 3 losses is just not enough to get into the playoffs. But they will still be a great team this year. Niko will be good. Just not quite enough to get into the playoffs.
Tennessee beat them in 2022 and it’s in neyland this year
Did you miss the 22 game between them? TN got way up by like 3 scores and decided to take their foot off the gas and allowed UF to get a couple of quick late scores. I don't think this game will be close. TN -17. The Gators have to come to Neyland this year. Which is also why I think UF loses. Only one team has beaten TN at TN in two years. UGA. If they are close to anything like they were in 22, they're good enough to beat anyone and be in the playoffs. I think Nico will be top 3 SEC this year maybe top two. And a Heisman finalist.
Vols bc of key play from #8 NICO CB Vols will upset Georgia and be undefeated. Key game to start this off will be @ Oklahoma. If Vols win. Katie bar the door. Nico will leave it all on the field and has a short memory. 2 most important traits Milton didnt have. Trap game of season I agree about Kentucky. But history proves Tennesse is Kentucky’s Daddy!! Regardless how the coming season plays out Vols finish with a 0-1 loss season. All depending on Nico staying healthy. One more thing. GB🍊. Thanks for the Video.
If you don't no football don't come on a football program and look stupid tenn.beat florida 2022 I could understand if it was a long time ago but just couple years ago .not a good look for you
With UF's schedule this season, man, I think start off ok for UF but they still lose in Knoxville. They win 4 or 5 but lose every game on the back half of their schedule and they fire Napier. It's the same schedule in 25 also just the home and away inverse.. So he'd get fired again if it were possible. Also UF usually plays TN in the 1st SEC matchup except now, we play OU first. So, we'll have it together earlier than normal. Have to with NC State and OU early on.
That's all it is hype. Everyone will get to laugh at them like always. They can't recruit with the upper teams. No matter how much money they think they have
Rat poison
Volz are one and done. Wont be relevant again for yet another 15 years
😂😂😂😂😂. EVERY YEAR TENNESSEE , IS RANKED TOP 10 AND EVERY YEAR THEY FINISH THE SEASON OUTSIDE OF THE TOP 25 😂😂😂😂. SO TENNESSEE IS SUPER OVERRATED
We haven't been preseason top 10 in 20 years, what are you smoking
Yea but they actually finished inside the top 20 the past 2 years. I guess you like to troll other teams bc your own team isn’t good enough lol! GBO
Could but won't with that gimmick offense
Tenn will definately have 3 possibly 4 losses. They wont make the playoffs & the expectations for them are absolutely ridiculous based off of 1 good season. Its almost comedic. Hell kentucky will prob beat tenn this year.
You analysis of tennessee is absolutely ridiculous. You either hate tennessee or don't know football
😆 losing to Kentucky at home.. some bold statements. Like ole boy said your analysis of Tennessee is absurd. You are either a young child or the only helmet you ever wore was the same one you have worn since you were a child.
You’re one of those smooth brain niggas huh
@@Johnredcorn156 its funny u have 1 good year now u think that ur in the running for a heisman with a rs fr & also going to make the playoff with him in the toughest conf...ur eval of kentucky is way off, u were lucky last year the game ended b4 taking a loss..u all are average sec team.
@@Johnredcorn156 3 losses this year is a guaranted ....playoffs? Playoffs? Just tryn to win a game...
I think they are heavily overrated this year
do you think they lose 6 games or what?
Overrated how?? We are returning most of a good O-line (upgraded at LT) as well as one of the best WR rooms in the conference (projected to be top 3), sure our RB room took a hit but I think Nico at the very worst is still an upgrade over Milton, we're also returning one of the best front 7's on defense the big question is our secondary considering we cleaned house (literally) by letting 6 starters go however the dudes we lost haven't really did a whole lot the past few years so I mean how much of a downgrade can it be? I understand the questions people have (QB, Secondary) but to say we're "heavily overrated" is kinda pathetic even for being an opinion lol.
we lost 4 in 23 because our 4 biggest games. outside mizzou and uga. fl and bama got some bs ref calls. we shouldve lost 2. but also we had countless pi's not called. and our wrs were not near as good as the 22 wrs.
