Football Some College Football Experts Say UT will do the deed Saturday in Athens?

I have heard on some tv shows concerning college football that some experts do think Tennessee can come to Athens and play very well Saturday and beat a sorta still hungover UGA team after the loss to Bama took a lotta air out of their sails concerning this year's supposive national championship season. I know I have talked a lotta smack on here b4 about rival teams but I don't see why they make this prediction, not unless it is the fact that Stephens is starting and could have a breakout game if the defense is not on the field 80 percent of the game and they don't run the football most of the time, which was a dumb move against NIU. I say that if we haden't of ran the football so much, the score woulda been a lot worse, Stephens is a lot more of a confident QB who stands in the pocket and stands tall and throws with strike and accuracy, give the kid more of chance Clawson, shoot throw about 90 percent of the game and then run the ball up the middle to wear the D out and finish the ballgame.

With the size of NIU defensive front, running the ball seems like a pretty sound strategy. We just happen to suck at it. If we throw the ball on 90% of the plays Georgia will run us out of the stadium.

There is just no way we can beat them based on what the team has shown. Last year we had a senior QB and Cutcliffe. We were capable of big plays.

We have only had ONE really big play this year (Stephens to Moore).
Unless the running game can come to life and Stephens can play the best football of his life we won't score more than 9 points. the dawgs will score AT LEAST 21.

UT has to play a lot better than what they have shown. It can be done. They will have to show me though. Im shocked at their play so far.

With them getting a off week, which is big. Revenge factor for the two beatdowns we gave them. The fact that we just suck. It doesn't paint a rosey picture about what will transpire on saturday.

I know it's sad and honestly nobody is more pissed about it than me but I still laughed my ass off when I read that line.

I believe its possible that we beat Georgia. It could be similar to what happened in 2005 vs LSU. It would have been better if Georgia had won the bama game. Then we could have at least had the possibility of them overlooking us. It will now be incredibly difficult for us to win. Its not impossible but chances are slim.

Vols are going to have to shut the run down just like last year.Put all the weight on stafford.Going to have to play good special teams also.These keys just give the vols a chance to win and not a sure thing.


P.S. HOLD ON TO THE FOOTBALL.
