Can our defense stop Pitt more than they stop us?

If we don't score first we will more than likely lose tomorrow as pressure for new wrs to catch the ball will be extreme. They are unproven. Can they catch and get open fast enough?

Tennessee knows Pitt
Pitt knows Tennessee
It’s a matter of who can execute at a high level.
They’re going to try and out physical Tennessee and wear them down
Tennessee needs to make Pitt cover sideline to sideline and use its speed to advantage.
If Hooker has time there shouldn’t be any reason why the Vols don’t win handily.
Neutralizing the front 4 is key but with experience up front it should help tremendously.
Can Tennessee find more of a running game outside of Hooker?
Can Tennessee get sacks from the front 4 rather than just pressure plays?
I’m not sold on Pitt being able to cover Tennessees WRs.
Tennessee needs to create more opportunities for Sampson. The man is a weapon and only makes the offense more explosive.
I think Tennessee comes into the game with something to prove and wins 38-14.

Neither defense will be able to make much of an impact on the game, but for different reasons. Pitt will make some stops, but won't be able to keep Hooker's offense out of the end zone enough to matter. Tennessee has reliable depth in the front 7 as well as some quality questions in the secondary. Luckily, Pitt plays so slow, at times, that substitutions will keep starters fresh for four quarters. Tennessee wins 38-31

We need to posses the ball to keep our Defense fresh. 5 plays and a score in 75 seconds will wear our defense down over the game. We need to keep their defense on the field as much as possible so they are tired in the 4th quarter. I think both offenses will score a lot so the 4th quarter (where we lost so many games last year) will be crucial.

Do you think we will totally change our offensive philosophy for this game?
I don’t know how the coaches will try and keep the defense fresh, but I think in general we are going to get way out time-of-possessioned.

To ease Vol minds, here is how it goes. Kickoff with Vols receiving, Holiday does a 52 yards run back. First play, McCoy and Tillman are sent to the mid right section behind the goal line. Panther CBs get confused on which one to double-team. McCoy catches a TD as a result. Subsequent passing attacks, the rest of the game, causes the Panther DL to play aggressively to get to Hooker. Who feeds the RBs who run wild time and again. I know this because my cracked crystal ball told me so.

Pretty sure all those who bet are taking the over. But both Ds are gonna want to prove something so it could be a surprisingly lower scoring game. But probably not. I think the loser scores in the high twenties to low thirties and the winner in high thirties to low forties. A 41-31 score either way wouldn't shock me.

All we need to do is score more points than they do. Our offense will do that.
