Could this right here be the key stat to watch for a Tennessee win?

Tennessee QB Joey Aguilar has been a steady presence in the passing game for well beyond his time in Knoxville. He leads FBS in most consecutive games with at least 200 yards passing with 30. And if he's going to make it 31, he's going to have to become the first quarterback this season to do it to the Alabama defense.

The Crimson Tide defense has not allowed a 200-yard passer so far this season​

Alabama had a rough start to the season, getting pushed around by Florida State in a 31-17 loss. Despite surrendering 31 points, FSU QB Tommy Castellanos totaled just 152 yards passing.

However, that would not be a one-off for the Crimson Tide defense. In a 24-21 win at Georgia, Alabama held UGA QB Gunner Stockton to just 130 passing yards. Two weeks ago against Vanderbilt, Diego Pavia came close but finished with 198 yards through the air. Last week, Missouri QB Beau Pribula had a season-low 162 passing yards with 2 interceptions.

I feel like he gets that 200 and then some, maybe closer to 300 than 200, but it depends on how well we are running the ball too. 200 is a couple of chunk plays for this offense.

We have 2 little girls. Second one born this past January. During labor the head nurse and all others attempted to figure out what was going on. Heart rate and breathing were starting to act weird, but couldn’t figure anything out (at least I think that was it…I also had the flu during this time so I was out of it). Doc came in and within 10 seconds she ordered an immediate c-section. Glad she did because my baby girl had the umbilical cord wrapped around her throat. If she would have been born normally she wouldn’t have made it.

Congrats on the baby girl! Hope mom is doing well!

And that's why they're the dang professionals. Wow.

The funniest thing ever happened on the Gator 247 board. A fan signed up to follow the coaching search and because the guy said that they wouldn't get Lane Kiffin, he got labeled an Ole Miss fan and harassed off the board. He just posted his final post and it's been downvoted 33 times. That's 9.99/mo CBS will not get in the future. There used to be several Florida boosters who posted on that board that also left due to abuse. Maybe that was a better target though. I guess that can be debated. That fan base is mental.

I'm seeing just about everybody say this is going to be a shootout. Taking the over. But taking TN to cover the 7.5 spread. Most saying its going to be a close one.

What's in our favor here is that Bama's not been great running the ball and our run defense is shockingly our weakness. So when we are on D, its weak on weak and our strength on theirs. Maybe that helps us out. We're going to have to force turnovers though.

What is the line doing? I know earlier it was -115 on TN plus 8.5 and -105 on Alabama with 59% of the money on the Vols on FanDuel. Those lines mean even at 8.5 FanDuel expects TN to cover more than Alabama. Wondering who the crew is for this weekend.

I've thought a lot about this game like many of you. I have thrown myself into volunteer work this weekend in an effort to gain as much good Karma as one can, but also maybe not to live just for this game because it can feel like that as a fan.

Winning to me starts with whichever team can maintain composure in the moment. There will be mistakes, but who regroups? Which team can deliver in the clutch? I like our experience doing it the wrong way the last few weeks just to prove to the team we can win even when we aren't perfect. We do have to clean those mistakes up though.

Just Win

upgraded to probable. he's playing

IMO it's good news for us they are desparate to rush against us and i think his injury slows him down significantly. i played 3 separate times after concussions (i know...) and those follow up games were BAD

100% agree.

Thanks for the update.

TBH what the spread is doing aligns with past vol losses. Bets % higher to TN than the % of money. People are betting TN, but that's to cover a pretty wide spread to start with. Against our biggest foes we have sucked beating Vegas.

Just win

I didn't see him say this, it was a poster on Ole Miss's 247 site who said the guy who reported Lane Kiffin is working out a new contract for On3 said, "300K more than Cignetti."
