ITS FOOTBALL TIME IN Tennessee Vol Nation lets go
Defense will out shine the offense. Look out
That's a lie
😆😂
Number one overall pick right now on draft boards plays on defense
Go Vols. Cant wait for this fall!
So ready for Tennessee football!!
This is not a bad take. But this season depends entirely on our OL staying healthy and our defensive newcomers in the Secondary performing and also staying healthy.
Yeah this wasn't even about Tennessee at all, just "how will Nico do in CFB in general"... weird take/title at least
TN's OL is deep and maybe the best in College football. Concerns are in the secondary.
@@dan-ol9feNah we def ain't the best, top 5 in the sec? Maybe
People are forgetting tennessees def. Has improved every year under hype if the off. Is top 5 def. Improves again be scared
Tennessee had arguably the 3rd best defense in the SEC last year, and many key players from the first two levels are coming back. Pearce has developed into an absolute monster edge rusher and is a projected top 10 NFL pick, so he should anchor the defense. DB depth is the question mark, but Slaughter and Macdonald are coming back and getting pressure if half the battle with defending the pass.
😂 Scared of what ......You should worry about GA
Can you try writing that in English please?
I’m pumped about Nico too but why do some of you have to sh*t on Joe? He’s gone and gave his all while here so let it go!
Nico is gonna be top 10 after this season top 5 maybe going into next
Excited for a new year! Go Vols
🍊🍊GO DAMN VOLS 🍊🍊
The last part about this being Heupel getting his first real HS QB recruit at Tennessee is everything. But even more than that, Nico isn't even going to be the primary feature this year. It's going to be Dylan Sampson. Heupel's offense is a running offense. And Sampson is going to be a superstar. Nico is going to be an *addition* to that.
THIS BRO not enough people know that we run a run heavy offense because it’s overshadowed by what was one damn good passing attack in 2022. Our RB’s open the game for the pass and remain a threat the whole time
Joe Milton was a 4-star recruit in the class of 2018. He CLEARLY developed to 5-star level *PHYSICALLY*, but he never developed above 3-star level from the neck up. That’s something that coaches just can’t teach. You either have it, or you don’t. Oh sure, if you inherently have it, coaches can draw that out of you, but it’s not something they give you. It’s something they bring out of you that you already had. You either inherently have it, or you don’t. Joe Milton clearly didn’t have *THAT*.
Nico, however?…. I think he’s got *THAT* PLUS some! There’s exciting times coming on Rocky Top!
GBO🍊🍊🍊
i know it was a bowl game and people have more or less stopped caring about bowl games, but the decision making and the speed of said decision making in the iowa game really sold me on him. joe physically is a beast, but he was his own worst enemy when pressure was on. nico is not afraid to tuck that thing and take it 15-20 yards if the gaps there and he can hit the short stuff which opens up the deep stuff. im excited i think he's gone fit our offense like a glove and we go 11-1 or 10-2 again this season. especially since we have the defense we were missing two years ago, james pierce and that front 7 are gonna be deadly this season.
Hey Josh. Take a look at the similarities in Fulmer and Huepels coaching starts at UT. Namely by position. Major qbs and big time D lineman. I think heup is gonna get at least one title back in knoxville
Nicos is unproven & young with ALOT of pressure & in the SEC. That = let down. Look for twnn to have 3 losses in best case but 4 losses is prob more realistic. Alot of young talented players that laxk experience & a secondary thats charmin soft. If nico doesnt win the heisman, then tenn doesnt make the playoffs...no pressure on a rs fr or soph which ever hes is.
2024 make Tennessee football great again!
A healthy and deep roster and we could see a natty.
Hookwr and Milton were extremely different qbs. The biggest difference last year's, though, was the QB run. It was missing. I really think they didn't run Milton a lot because he was playing, not to get injured or at least not injured worse. It really messed with their effectiveness on offense. It will be interesting to see how they run Nico.
I think everyone wants to blame Milton, but the receiving corps didn't help him any. We lost Hyatt and Tillman, McCoy got hurt, Keaton played horribly inconsistent, and the replacements never stepped up to the next level. I'm not saying Milton didn't have his own issues (decision making and reading defenses), I just think he gets a lot of blame for things out of his control.
@@tchrishoward Tillman and Hyatt hadnt done much until Hooker was their qb. Not to say they werent good, but if you think we go 11-2 with Milton at qb then youre smoking
@@volunteer142 I didn't say we went 11-2 with Milton, I said it wasn't all his fault. How many balls hit receivers in the hands and were dropped? He didn't get any help from his receivers last year, is all I'm saying. And with Hyatt's speed, some of those overthrown balls might've been caught.
@@tchrishoward It’s not all his fault of course, but I think the majority of the blame falls on him. Our offense just never seemed to run smoothly with him. Yes the drops hurt but at the end of the day I don’t think we’d have a different record even if we had both Hyatt and Tillman back for last season
@@volunteer142 name one game he cost us. Where you can say Joe Milton lost that game. I think he's been made the scapegoat for a team that overall wasn't as good as the year before. One good year and y'all got spoiled. He's better than any QB we've had since Dobbs except Hooker.
I agree with the early assessment of Tennessee's season 2 years ago in comparison to last season. Most Tennessee fans like myself were expecting the (bridge) season as you referred it to so it was not extremely disappointing. People who had been around the program for a few years knew that Joe Milton was simply incapable of throwing an accurate deep ball (disastrous for Tennessee offense). Running game will be strong again behind Dylan Sampson and the O-line, although not great with depth, has some very good returning starters. Defense seems very suspect in the backfield, seemingly getting torched every other play in the spring, but the defensive line returns first team All-American sack-master James Peace and the nations leading freshman EDGE rusher 5* recruit Jordan Ross. Omari Thomas is a really big guy stuffing the middle and UT will need this defensive line to become one of the best QUICKLY to help out its second and third levels of defense.
We have same questions in the Secondary as always and we have questions at RB depth after Dylan Sampson (Cam Seldon is out with shoulder injury)
Beyond that, we are going to absolutely be lighting it up this year
Sure Nico has gained some much needed weight, but other than that he was the same talent last year as now. I know it's crying over spilt milk, he should have played last year.
Boom 🔥
GBO!!
Great, so Tennessee can be this year's version of last year's LSU. When they play a competent team the first to 50 points wins.
Idk, I think our defense is a lot better than what LSU’s was.
I don’t think u have been paying attention to Tennessee defensively
Nah, even TN's D overall was light years better than LSU's. Who was LSU in 22 compared to TN? LSU's D line, couldn't stop a mother and ducklings at a crosswalk lol
Only if The Vols defense performs elite.
Offensively last year Tennessee's main problem was Joe Milton was terrible
Was he as good as Hendon? No, but he wasn’t terrible. There were so many times I saw last year where the receivers could have and should have caught the ball and didn’t. There was just less talent, and too many injuries with a lack of depth that really cost us especially late in the season.
A QB that led us to an 8-4 season isn't terrible. Iowa QB is terrible. Joe was good some games and ok on others but never was he really terrible other than some plays.
Joe can't Read a defense to save his mother's life He's got all the physical attributes he just don't have the brain
@@Hat-san An Iowa QB should have gone somewhere else. I don't doubt his production would improve significantly. Just saying.
The problem is, Joe couldn't carry Tennessee on his back like we needed during some games. Elite QBs can do that when needed. Milton is a decent backup QB, and that is all he will ever be
Tennessee is going to walk tbe puppies this year. Can't wait GBO 🍊🍊
We doubt that
Different year same delusional Tennessee fans 😂
You're hilarious 🤣😆.
Get them oranges crushed time after a time
I disagree, but if we only lose to Georgia and Bama I will be happy. Wins over Oklahoma and Florida and a possible shot to the playoffs would be progress. The good news is that we do not have to beat Georgia to make the playoffs or be elite. Georgia will be an extremely good team this year , and they will be at home
As a volunteer fan, I am very excited about this season don’t get me wrong. But the 2025 season is when Nico and this offense could be the most dangerous(depending on o line)
With that said, I see 8-4 absolute floor likely 9-3 floor, 11-1 ceiling
11-1 gets you in the playoff, my early prediction for how the playoff will go down is similar to but not so underdog heavy as March madness. But I feel that any team that reaches the playoff can go on a run and no better way to go on a run than scoring 45+ per game like heupel can do
Oklahoma is the tale for TN
If they beat Oklahoma, it may be as the 10th-12th seed, but they're a lock for the playoffs
If they lose, they will be lucky to finish 7-5
I predict 10-2, won't beat Georgia, I have my doubts about beating Bama. Ceiling 11-1, floor 6-6
Don’t inflate their egos Josh 😭
Well if nico is not that man, theirs alot of people have got to eat alot of words
There’s*
Til they come to Norman and get their first L.
I don't doubt Tennessee will be good. Might be a playoff team possibly. But I don't think they are going to be able to get over the Georgia hump. So good luck with that.
Same for Ole Miss, as far as that goes, so I am being honest.
@@greenwave819 Yes they are. Beating Georgia would be a tremendous win for any team. So what's the plan down there in New Orleans? Man, you guys must HATE whoever is responsible for leaving the SEC? Any chance of getting into the Big 12? I'm rooting for you to make it in somewhere. LSU probably won't let it be the SEC, though.
The good news is that we don't have to get over that hump to make it to the playoffs, to win the SEC, yes, but my expectations are reasonable. That isn't happening this year
@@davyboy9397 Understood. Good luck, you are still southern brothers.
@@davyboy9397 Really? You don't play Georgia this year? Lucky for you then! And I still think you guys have a good shot at the playoffs.
Tennessee is primed to disappoint it's fans again.
Josh Pate do you understand Tennessee has no defense
Nah just gonna be “next year is our year again” for the little Orange.
Just don’t have a defense. I don’t care how good the offense was or can be. Having the worst defense in the country isn’t gonna win championships.
i’ve been hearing tennessee is gonna be great for my entire life and i’ve never seen it and im almost 30
Come on man! Dont do them like this..
Nobody wants to compare Nico to a current or former quarterback because they haven’t seen him play enough but by the time Alabama rolls into Neyland. People will be calling him twitchy Trevor Lawrence and Tennessee will be inside the top 10
I see Nico as the smartest QB we've had in a bit. He knew not to put the ball up against Iowa because they weren't gtiving him the secondary. The Tempo Spread is a reactionary system to what the defense is giving you. That is why it's hard to beat, especially when you are schemed to go vertical. They just never really went that vertical with Joe in game scheme. So, I would not be shocked if he rocks the preseason n the NFL and with a slower offense, I think he can improve. He looks better than Drake Maye so far in training camp.
Dude literally said pre-season in this video, at normal volume?! Dude you have changed
Pretty easy schedule too only Oklahoma bama and Georgia to challenge them
ahhhh yes. all this hype just to get owned by my DAWGS 🔥.
Oh boy , here we go.
If he was a star he would have beaten out mediocre Joe Milton last season. I’m not hating on the kid but facts are facts.
Your wrong
Vols suck...always have...always will
What an elaborate argument
12/19 for 151 and a td against Iowa and sm how tn is a contender 😭. Yall trippen give Nico a year first
He rushed for 2. Threw for 2
@@andronicustfouse6770 Nico will be elite im just saying. Crazy to put natty hopes on his shoulders in his first year imo
Tennessee is always hopeful every season, until they play Florida lol...
Lol I enjoy when you do a comedy show, Josh. Homer Simpson aka Heupel had one good year. Tennessee loses 4 games this season
