Based on what we have seen so far, I think we beat SC and UGA

I say 6 wins are realistic.  I am optimistic and say 7.  I'm not setting myself up to think we will win 8.  I think we beat Vandy and Ky.  I think we will be huge underdogs to LSU, bama and Ark.  I think we will be solid underdogs to SCe (they have the best pass rush in the conference and Lattimore) and I think we will have to play much better than we have so far to beat Georgia.  Georgia may very well be the most rapidly improving team in the country right now.  By the time we play them they won't resemble the team that got ran over by Bosie.  They have better line talent and more depth than we do.  If we can win that game I'll be thrilled.

I've seen this comment a couple of times. No offense, but it doesn't even make sense. There isn't the slightest bit of resemblance between what Tennessee is running and a "Hal Mumme" offense.

That is why I put it in quotes. Having to throw 40-50 times a game to move the ball is my concern.

Okay. That make sense. If that's where we're headed, it's worth noting that there are a lot of teams in college football that are pass-happy with a lot of success. I don't think it's fair to pass up all those comparisons for a Mumme the Dumme comparison. In any event, I see it as a temporary thing. You play with your strengths. Dooley has only had two recruiting classes, which isn't enough time to build a team. In the meantime our strengths are our quarterback and our receivers, so that's what gives us a chance to win. Which is the same thing you were saying I guess, except I don't think we're moving closer and closer to being a pass-only team. As our offensive linemen mature, we should be able to run the football more.

Georgia started 0-2 and then blew away Coastal Carolina.  You could say they gave USCe a good game, but that game is always close and USCe struggled at home vs. Navy this past weekend.  What in any of that makes uga  " one of the most rapidly improving teams in the country"?  That's a real head scratcher to me.
