Tennessee vs Indiana Mismatch

[teeball]

Has anybody looked inside Indiana's 8-4 record. It's misleading to say the least. It's very similar to UAB's record in that they have won a lot of games against opponents that were AWFUL. Indiana has not beaten a single team this year with a winning or even a break-even record. Their wins have come against Eastern Illinois (1-11), Connecticut (2-10), Rutgers (2-10), Maryland (3-9), Northwestern (3-9), Purdue (4-8), Ball State (5-7) and Nebraska (5-7). I know Tennessee didn't beat any of the big boys this year but dang we did beat one 9-4 team, two 7-5 teams and two 6-6 teams along with Vandy and SCar who had losing seasons. The bottom line is Tennessee should beat these Hooisers like a red-headed stepchild and finish with a very respectable 8-5 record. Who would have thunk it after the GaState and BYU games ... not me ... GBO!!!

I think Tennessee beats Indiana 31-20

 

[MemphisVol77]

I don't mean to be a pessimist but we're not gonna pull off 8-4.

 

[Nationdom]

Tennessee wil take them to the shed. Tennessee has more speed, strength and depth everywhere.

Now that's funny

LOL ... good catch ... I fixed it.

 

[jhen713]

We could trot Shrout out there with the 2nd team oline and win comfortably.

I may be suffering from BVS, but let's not get ahead of ourselves...

 

[ALLVOL24/7/365]

Mismatch huh, I think everyone on here, incluing myself, thought that about Ga St. Let’s just be happy we r in a bowl game. Then hope the team takes care of business and ends on a positive note and with an 8-5 tecord and be happy with that.

You sir are a genius. Go Vols.

This is a very different team mentally than the team that lost to Georgia State

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

I hope so. I would be more confident against Louisville since they lost big to Kentucky.

Just like the Dallas Cowboys and anyone else in the NFC East.

 

[BigOrangeAl 1979]

Have we beat anybody worth a damn though ?

 

[OrangeVolMan]

Indiana hard team to figure. They only lost to PSU by 7, a team many on here said would stomp UT in a bowl game. Indiana then got stomped by Michigan. I think UT will win but it probably will not be easy.

 

[WeNeedaQB]

A little surprised by the rampant optimism. I like our team and our finish, but not sure I am yet prepared to pull a Babe Ruth and call my shot.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Have we beat anybody worth a damn though ?

We beat two teams that are going to bowl games.

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

And all of a sudden our fans are getting cocky again.....Got news for ya buddy, We got nothing to get cocky about...Lets just try and get this win and build on it.

Tennessee will beat Indiana

 

[go hokies]

INDIANA WILL BE A 3 POINT FAVORITE OVER TENNESSEE

Many people who dont know football said PSU would stomp UT.

 

[Rickyvol77]

We beat two teams that are going to bowl games.

Three and another one who was eligible

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

This will be a tough game. Indiana is scrappy. Certainly no pushover. We can win this game. We are gonna have to have Missouri JG and not Vandy JG. Hopefully the defense continues to play stout.

 

[Ratvol]

Just happy we’re bowling again. Been reading about IU. We should beat them by 14 points.
With a chip on his shoulder, JJ catches 2 TD’s in second half.
UT 37
IU 23

Go VOLS

 

[Doberman]

I am cautious on our Vols, and even I think this is a mismatch in our favor.

Just like Iowa. Just like Northwestern.

I’ll guess off the cuff 31-14. Something like that.

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

I think this will be a good game. I haven’t seen much of IU this year but if we sleepwalk through this game they will beat us.

 

[MWAVolfan]

People that just assume Tennessee will win this bowl game are forgetting what happened this season. Just because they won 7 games by beating atrocious teams in November doesn't erase what they did and it doesn't mean it won't happen again.

Now, I EXPECT Tennessee to win this game because that's what we should always expect of a team that is supposed to be getting better. But to ASSUME it is a real bad idea.
