Arkansas game

[Big Orange Captain]

A desperate Arkansas team and Bobby P gonna be throwing everything at us and Banks and the D weekend. Anybody else watch the UCLA-Penn state game this Saturday and suddenly get more anxious about this game. The line is also only 13.5 points so Vegas knows something. Petrino is also wanting the HC job so a big upset this weekend would definitely help his case. I’m expecting another high scoring shootout like the Miss. St and Georgia game hopefully no more overtimes cause my heart can’t take it. I doubt our defense can stop Arkansas we can’t stop a nose bleed right now giving up almost 30 points a game and i definitely don’t trust Banks against Petrino in any third and long situations. However i don’t think Arkansas can slow or stop our offense then again i said they couldn’t last year and they did but we got Joey now so we will do what we want i think against their terrible defense. Vols win 49-35. We get our revenge and our first win over Arkansas in 18 years. You guys thoughts on this game i will hang up and listen.

We have absolutely no business losing this game.

no business at all

 

[volKano]

I get what your saying but 13.5 for a conference game is pretty high.

 

[VolCalls]

We need to bring our A game. No business losing this game but we also can’t expect to win just by showing up.

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

“Only” 13.5? That’s a big line.

That’s basically Vegas predicting we win by at least 2 TD’s

but to a 2-3 team in complete disarray that just lost to Memphis and completely embarrassed my ND at home.

i figured it would be at least 20
points being we are playing at Neyland

I’m thinking a 45-28 kind of game with us winning

No one has any idea how this team will react to the firing of a coach. And this is an SEC school, not some FBS school.

That’s what i’m thinking to similar to the Syracuse game we need to keep the hammer down on offense for 60 minutes, no mercy shown and no hesitation at all. attack attack attack.

Joey, the receivers, and the backs should have a field day Saturday. Arkansas has one of the worst defenses in the country.

With that said, I think the whole "our defense will take a little step back this year" talk is over when it comes to ours. Our defense is abhorrent. Arkansas will score, and that quarterback is going to run whenever he wants, and yes, throw slants and drags all over the middle of the field until we're dry heaving.

We just have to score more. Easy, right?

You should do less figuring. It’s literally the biggest spread of all SEC match ups this week.

 

[Col_Cathcart]

I mean it should be easy. Arkansas hasn’t stopped anyone all season and they don’t even have a defensive staff to put together a game plan. If it’s not easy, we have problems.

We will see how their new DC does. He was DC of Mississippi State 2010-2012, Colorado 2021-2022 and the Houston Gamblers 2023-2024 with defense line coaching spread out Georgia, Oklahoma, USC, Eagles

 

[Other_Guy]

"The line is also only 13.5" how many times has Tenn played a bad SEC team where they were favored by 3 scores?

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

We are playing at home against a team that just fired their coach and cannot play defense. They have put up some points this year but if we cant cover in this game, something is definitely wrong. We probably get Hobbs back, so the defensive line will be as close to full strength as its been all year. No reason this game should still be in question mid way through the third quarter.

 

[UT97Vol]

I get what your saying but 13.5 for a conference game is pretty high.

Texas A&M was favored by 17 over Miss St. We were only favored by a TD. Vegas still isn't sold on us. Syracuse looking like a paper tiger and only scoring 18 on a weak SMU defense probably doesn't help anyone have any confidence in our defense.

 

[strkr]

I wouldn't compare Syracuse to anyone at the moment as they lost their starting QB vs Clemson. That changes that team a bunch compared to when Tenn played them. Also they were up big on Clemson before Angelini got hurt. Held on for the win at Clemson.

 

[VawlDave]

Chat will we ever see aggressive Heupel again or is conservative Heupel the new meta?

We just scored 40+ pts in 5 straight games for the first time in UT football history.

Lol what a scared take!

Petrino staged a coup de ta and now he has wiped out most of the defensive staff.

Vols by 28.

Also I'm going to look at it, but I'm pretty sure Heupel is close to undefeated in "revenge" games the year after a loss.

Florida and Bama 2x
South Carolina 1x
Pittsburgh 1x

Syracuse lost their starting QB vs Clemson and are completely lost without him. Miss St was at home and we were favored by 7, which is 10.5 at Neyland. They were also w/o their starting right tackle at night at Kyle Field.
