-- Tennessee Head Coach Josh Heupel"If it is not about the team, and it is about you, you will never get out of it what you want out of it.
"I promise you, as soon as it is about the team, you will get out of it what you want out of it.
"Prepare so that when your opportunity comes, you're frickin' ready to go ... smash it. You guys understand?"
Yeah! I think one area that Tennessee excels more than Ole Miss is TFLs.If I had to pick one player I’d say Theo Jackson. Huge to have him back getting the DB’s aligned correctly and hopefully making plays on the edges and in the backfield. The star position also seems to be important for run fits in this defensive scheme. Getting some TFLs and avoiding busted coverages will be important against this offense.
For the Vols to win the D front 7 need to force OleMiss to pass the ball. MC hasn’t had an INT this year because they haven’t had to throw the ball regularly. Force that and your odds go up.Two high-flying offenses. Two lesser ranked defenses. Relatively unknown special teams. Who/what makes the difference?
