Most Difficult Game

I've looked at our remaining schedule and Georgia Tech concerns me most, with that unconventional offense. I think we match up with everyone else. If our defense gets a few stops, our offense will outscore everyone else. So in short I think GT stands between us and a National Championship. What are y'all thoughts?

Plus our front seven is MUCH IMPROVED over the past two years. Our DT's should stuff that inside run. Beasley, crawford, lawson and the LB's should handle the outside run pretty well.
I really can't see us dropping this game.
I'm more concerned with FSU, Maryland, and SCU.

But only cause I'm going and it always rains when I go to Charlottesville. Actually I'm not worried about us winning, its that if we don't win big I will have to listen to fair weather TNeters say we're not that good..... and Oregon destroyed em.... Tajh is off.... fire Tommy....Sparky Woods squad is going to dethrone us...

The key to beating GT is tackling well for 4 quarters, especially the Dive. One missed tackle and it turns into a big gain. Everything they do is predicated on the Dive being successful for 3-4 yards. With our DTs, I like our chances

we roll into Columbia with a healthy team, considering the chop blocking Tech game will be pretty much right before it. And I would hope Dabo sits everyone against the Citadel.

issues at NC State was we were rusty. Definitely don't sit them the whole game, but get our depth some practice after we are in control of the ball game.

you want to call it.....nothing to gain from those guys taking the field against the Citadel except a devastating knee injury that will put Tigernet on suicide watch. I know, I know. Peake got hurt in practice. People can get hurt anytime, etc....I know one time they can't get hurt and that is when they are standing on the sidelines watching the game.

FSU and USC are our most difficult games. I think we will beat GT. They will run opposite for VB most of the time. This may sound funny but we may need to keep their offense off of the field.

GT is a non issue. We are by far the superior team and they are playing in Death Valley. Come back to me when we travel to Atlanta. Home field advantage is always the difference between good and great teams. Traveling to Maryland and then to SCar will determine our season.

Agree. I think the game against SCar is the scariest left. So much to lose on that one.

Every game stands as a challenge. You would like to think our team will come out to fight to get the win in every one. Sometimes the other team surprises our team with its will to win. As long as we have a will to fight we will have a chance in every one.
If we show up like we are "Hollywood" and expect the win to just happen and the other team to roll over then look out.
Stay hungry Tigers. It's the only way to roll.

The next one, whoever it happens to be. Judging by last Thursday night, this team cannot afford to look past anyone. Despite the ESpinPN talking heads the SEC is not way better than the ACC.

I am not worried, we are pretty salty against the run and It is at home and at night with what should be a raucous crowd, I think we win by 2-3 TD's!!!

FSU will give us all we want - in OUR HOUSE. GT is always a concern, but very beatable. Good thing we can't meet Miami until the ACCCG because that is the 2nd best team in the ACC.

Tip for handling the option: Take away the pitchman on every play. Make the QB either give to the FB or run it himself.
"Thanks Amikie"!!!!

What do y'all think about FSU? Winston to me is a stud but I agree he hasn't played a tough team yet.

I say Florida State. Yes, Georgia Tech is improved and can be worrisome with their style of offense but I think the game with Florida State is my big at home worry. On the road, it's a toss up between our last three road games: Virginia, Maryland and SCar. I KNOW we can beat everybody on our schedule, it just comes down to which team shows up for us each week.
