Purdue Picks

[sjt18]

Amazed someone hasn't asked yet. What are your picks for the game?

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

I think we’re gonna fly all over them.

 

[TAF]

I hope to leave there as/or even MORE EXCITED than i did at the Outback Bowl in 2016...

'Cept...I want to see a MUCH better "years to come"...

More surprised there has not been a negavol pick Purdue … yet

Tennessee should be the more motivated team. Purdue shouldn't be able to score with Tennessee, But, Tennessee needs to get some 3 & Outs so the Defense isn't playing 40 minutes. Lots of points in this one. Tennessee by 10-14

 

[Nationdom]

I think Tennessee wins this game by 28+

I've watched some Purdue game video over the last few days. They're slow. They remind me of Vandy except they have a better OL and Vandy is probably a little faster at the skill positions.

Football match ups can always surprise you but I think this one gets out of hand in favor of UT early. They will struggle with UT's spread and tempo. Their QB is an absolute statue.... slowest QB UT has seen this year. He's probably slower than all of his OL's. UT has gotten a lot of TFL's this year even facing faster RB's and QB's. If UT gets any push at all up the middle then they should have a field day with TFL's and sacks.

I voted 14+. If both teams bring their A game, I cannot see any way Purdue keeps pace with UT. It is possible UT has some bad luck, key injuries, or plays poorly. but outside those scenarios, I like UT bigly in the MCB.

 

[OrangeTsar]

The whole key will be how UT comes out of the gate. If we are crisp and efficient like against SC and Mizo, it’s over quickly. If we come out misfiring like against Vandy, we got ourselves a game. Get em ready Coach!!!!!!

 

[Hacksaw]

I expect us to be ready to play and I think we'll play with a lot of enthusiasm. Not disrespecting Purdue, but our history vs. the B10 in bowl games does not bode well for them.

 

[Hunerwadel]

I'll take the Orange to win by 7-13. Just a WAG but I believe if Purdue had their choice they would rather play someone else.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

I think it will be a competitive matchup. Vols by 10-12 points. 38-28 type of game.

Have we had any Purdue posters drop by at all? I was hoping some would.

Vols by 13.

 

[Hulavol]

I think UT boat races Purdue....

LOL... may have gotten your wish. That or we have some Purdue lurkers.

 

[NO SIR EEE]

I think UT boat races Purdue....

Absolutely. This will be like the gator bowl against Iowa.

 

[Rickyvol77]

Tennessee boat races slow white boy losers

 

[VolBricks]

I am not sure why (B1G) but I have the feeling that this will be like the Mizzou game. We jump on them early and never look back. I have not watched any of the Purdue video but I just "feel" it.

 

[zaqhhh]

There isn’t really a comparable offense that Purdue faces in the Big Ten, Ohio State probably being closest.

Between that and them losing 2 of their best players, I think we win this but I don’t think we blow them out.

34-24 is my guess

That hoss defensive end of theirs would make me nervous given that we don’t know who our right tackle will be. Him not playing is big.

 

[Emperor VOLpatine]

Who voted for Purdue to win?

 

[Ratvol]

Tennessee by 17+

Go VOLS

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

As long as we don't get hosed by COVID, we should pull away from them.

Our players are faster and our fast-paced high tempo offense will be too much for them.

Purdue player losses hurt much more than ours as they lose their 2 best players. They are without potential 1st round picks at David Bell at WR and LB George Karlaftis on Defense (predicted 5th overall). They won't have their backup QB for the game either. You just never know when that could affect things.

We are missing Alontae Taylor.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Think about it this way

We won the first quarter 10 to 7 against UGA

We had a 14-7 lead on Bama at one point

Could Purdue do that?

Doubt it. This all boils down to how locked in we are.

I could see us peter out in the second quarter and let them back in the game and it stay close, but if we stay consistent at all its a wrap.

UT by fiddy!!! Gbo! Don't now how to emjois on here but whatever! Gbo!
