Tennessee Has Opened At +4.5 At Home Against SC

[TennesseeTarheel]

I swear. Watching as bama player has his arms wrapped around JJ in the end zone causing a bobbled pass and NO FLAG!!!!

 

[orangebloodgmc]

That's closer than the amount MSU was favored over us.

That one is getting little attention but was crucial to us.

Flagged Thompson in the first quarter for same thing.

 

[Sudden Impact]

Bottom Line: Which Defense folds first.

Wrapped around like a belt. Isn't it some ref's job to be looking right at that? How can he still get paid? (Aside from him getting "paid").

Shrout better strap it on in practice this week. It's on his young shoulders now

Not that I approve
but I would put money on it , if BM can't go, JG will start. I just don't see them starting with Shrout, JMO.

I'm afraid you're right, hope you're wrong.

I'd stay away until we knew the QB situation

You mean away from taking the +4.5 but didn't mean stay away from the game.

 

[Remy]

I'd stay away until we knew the QB situation

You always stay away until gameday.

 

[Tstormtrooper]

I'd bet a very conservative game plan. Try to win a low scoring game.

That said, Shrout has an arm. I'd throw some early deep balls to loosen up the D, even if the go incomplete.

Shrout probably has the most accurate long ball than any othe QB on the team.

 

[tbones0711]

If we had Maurer.

Don't know who calculated this spread and how. Pruitt will play the mum game all week like he did this past week. Nobody knows anything........B*#LSH@T ! BM will start, imo.

Perhaps, but if we are going to run a lot, JTS can hand off just as well as JG, plus a better arm if needed to keep the enemy honest.

 

[orangelo]

Or Defense outscores their offense. Hillinski will put up at least 7 for the good guys.

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

Very physical game.

At this point I'd say UT and USC play more physical than Alabama.

It will be a slugfest. I think the Vols have grown a lot in the last two games. If they keep that up we’ve got a fighting chance if JT BM or JJ is QB. If JG plays we lose.

 

[tbones0711]

Both UT and SC were screwed by the refs on Saturday, so it'll be interesting to see who they decide to screw this week.

SEC Comissioner needs to intercede these refs getting out of hand. Also happening at a fast pace in the NFL. Replay rules need to be expanded imo due to the bad calls leading to teams being cheated. Stranger still is the fact that sports betting is now legal in all 50 states. I wouldn't touch it with a 10' pole until some consistency is demonstrated. Booger McFarland went off on MNF last week, McElroy was very vocal yesterday during USCe and UF game........UT vs. Bama was a disgrace as far as officiating goes. Something just isn't right.

 

[GAMECOCK]

Hilinski, is so inconsistent for South Carolina, it depends on which Hilinski shows up Saturday. He is a great kid from a great family but he is a true freshman and naturally has a lot to learn. The Gamecocks got hosed on several calls by the officials yesterday but if Hilinski had hit two of the many long balls he over shot, South Carolina would have won regardless of the officiating.

I think Hilinski would have had a better throwing day against Florida if the conditions were a little better ….the weather was horrible and he seemed to lose his grip a little on some of the deep throws.....from what ive seen he is going to be one hell of a quarterback and has really shown some signs of being great....Look for him to be sharp and hopefully his receivers will hang on to the ball.

 

[secking]

Other games LSU 12 1/2 over AU
OSU 14 over Wisconsin

 

[Dudleys87]

If Maurer plays Tennessee wins by 10 or so

 

[BigOrangeAl 1979]

If Mare plays we have a chance if not forget about it. South Carolina is better across the LOS than we are and I would def take Hilansky over JG. And then Muschamp has some sort of voodoo curse on us he owns us.

 

[66volfan]

I’d feel better with Maurer, but JT wasn’t just terrible. Showed some promise.

 

[VolsRule]

SC's QB is average and is banged up. UT should be able to shut him down and win comfortably.

 

[dcm3w]

Just because we hung around with Bama does not make USC and the rest of our season a cake walk.

I'm not sure which game you were watching. BM needs to play.

 

[66volfan]

I'm not sure which game you were watching. BM needs to play.

Who said he didn’t need to play? I’m just not conceding if he doesn’t. Which game were you watching?

I think South Carolina will get to 20. If Maurer doesn't play who gets us into the 20's?
