Will it be better for the team and the season moving forward to win easily and get that confidence boost.

Or barely win by a last minute field goal or OT win so that the team still has a chip on their shoulder going into Jort Country?

P.S. no a loss is not a possibilty..the question is only HOW do we win ;p

For me personally, I don't care.

For the team, I doubt it matters to them either. A win is a win is a win!

Just win! But............

A nailbiter victory for the Vols should show that the Vols can compete and overcome deficiencies that have plagued them for years.

A blow out win for the Vols means UT is poised to make some noise this season and are possibly "back".

A nailbiter loss for UT means more of the same. Close by not yet "there" (one more year?)

A blowout loss would set the momentum the program and fan base is feeling and experiencing back tremendously. This could set a here we go again outcome on the season and probably will be devastatingly bad for all. If this happens...look for a 7 win season?

I just can't imagine a blowout loss being good in anyway for this program moving forward.

I don't know if this game is a "must win game". But, it's as close to a must win game as it gets.

Until the Vols actually beat Florida (who appears much better than advertised unfortunately) I just can't see it happening. This alone puts more pressure on winning games like tonight.

The tension on the program and the fan base is drawn so tightly it's about to snap in either direction.

I feel tonight is huge either way and the W would be best case scenario. GO GET THE WIN ON THE BIG STAGE BIG ORANGE!!!

My blood pressure prefers a blowout win...but a close game is more memorable and in the end (after a win) more fun.

A nailbiter would be better if it was a come from behind win.....otherwise a blowout would be better.

However, losing 10 in a row gives you a pretty damn big chip.

I doubt the performance against Oklahoma removes that chip one way or the other.

For the volnation including the team, a great performance with perfect atmosphere and a w is needed.

I don't see either team getting blown out, it should be within 10 pts the whole game. I see it being a nail biter in the end, 34-27 or closer.

Personally I would like to see us destroy them. But as far as team growth goes, a nail biter where we battle and overcome would be a good experience for them.

Either way we really need this win..really hope we win the LOS battle on both sides of the ball.

Any win would be good but I think a 4th quarter 4 score rally to win by 2tds would be extra sweet.

But ya, just win!
