LMAO. Or - perhaps a more likely scenario - his fingers are too big for the
teeny tiny keyboard on his iPhone. ;-)

Kiffin is ready for another moral victory...but this one, in his opinion is
going to bring a bit more morale than the UF game :-)))

So what exactly is in that Tenn kool-aid?

Vols coach Lane Kiffin said Alabama is a more complete team than
Florida.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin says the AP Top 25 has
it right — Alabama, not Florida, is the No. 1 team in the nation.
He’s practically an expert. By vaulting over the Gators into the top
spot in The Associated Press poll, the Crimson Tide set up the Vols’ second
game against the No. 1 team in the nation this season.
“I think one poll got it right,” Kiffin said. “If you watch football
and pay attention, I don’t think there’s any doubt who the No. 1 team is.
Alabama has a great team — very well-coached, extremely talented, great special
teams, great on offense, great on defense.”
The Gators are ranked second in the AP Top 25 but first in the USA
Today coaches’ poll and Bowl Championship Series standings.
Kiffin said it’s hard to draw many comparisons between the two teams
besides talent. Alabama favors size, Florida relies on speed.
He said the Crimson Tide (7-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) is a more
complete team and says the teams’ games against Arkansas reveals Alabama’s
strength. The Tide beat the Razorbacks 35-7 on Sept. 26 and the Gators narrowly
beat Arkansas 23-20 on Saturday.
“While they’re both great teams, one team kind of beats you in all
three phases: Alabama,” Kiffin said. “The other team will beat you at times but
then a lot of times nobody’s open and the quarterback runs around, makes the
play. These guys are much more balanced.”
The Vols (3-3, 1-2) lost 23-13 at Florida Sept. 19, when the Gators
were No. 1. The fact that Tennessee was competitive when much of the football
world predicted a Florida blowout coupled with a big win over Georgia in its
last game, gives some Vols players hope.
“We let one slip by against Florida, but we’ve put that behind us
now, because we have another opportunity,” guard Vladimir Richard said. “If we
would have just corrected a few things, we’d have won the game. So now we’re
like, ’Let’s not come in Sunday ... and say the same thing.”
A win by the Vols could mean redemption on several levels. It would
be Tennessee’s third all-time win over the top team and would snap a two-game
losing skid against its biggest traditional rival.
Tennessee is the first team to play No. 1 twice in the same season
since Baylor in 2000, when the Bears lost to Nebraska 59-0 and Oklahoma 56-7.
In 1992, Arizona beat No. 1 Washington 16-3 (Nov. 7) after losing to No. 1
Miami 8-7 (Sept. 26).
For Alabama coach Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide, the ranking
doesn’t really mean anything, though.
“Nothing’s really changed for our guys. I mean, what does it matter?
What’s changed? What’s changed from this week, from this Monday to last
Monday?” Saban said.
Before this season, the Vols hadn’t played a No. 1 team since losing
at home to Miami 26-3 in their 2002 homecoming game. They’ve twice lost to
Alabama when it was No. 1.
Tennessee has upset only two of the nine top teams it’s faced. An
unranked Vols squad beat Auburn 38-20 in 1985, and 13th-ranked Tennessee beat
LSU 14-13 in 1959.
It was the chance to add to that list of upsets that was among the
reasons defensive tackle Wes Brown, an Athens, Ala., native chose to attend
Tennessee.
“This is what you want. This is what you come to Tennessee for. You
want to play in the big games,” he said. “No offense to the smaller schools
we’ve played, but you come to Tennessee to play a No. 1 team and with a great
rivalry like this, you couldn’t ask for much more.”
