ESPN GATOR BOWL PREDICTION

[VolFaninFla]

(7 p.m. on ESPN at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville, Florida)
The advanced metrics (SP+, FPI) see the teams comparably, as Indiana's talent level has gone up under coach Tom Allen. Tennessee looked really good down the stretch, winning its final five games behind an improved defense. Vols top receiver Jauan Jennings is suspended for the first half of the game, which gives Whop Philyor, Stevie Scott and Indiana's offense an opportunity for the early lead. Indiana's struggles against teams with winning records are a concern, though, and Tennessee will rally for a close win.
Prediction: Tennessee 37, Indiana 34

 

[MAD]

Tennessee 41 Indiana 14
All the Indiana fans(all 3 of them)leave by half time.

I'm hoping we don't give up 34 and don't think our chances of victory are very high if we do.

 

[alaVOL]

I'm hoping we don't give up 34 and don't think our chances of victory are very high if we do.

This is a fact. If we give up that much we'll lose. I think we hold them to 20 and win a close one 24-20.

Don’t see how we score 37 and don’t believe we’ll give up 34. See more of a 24-16 score or so.

 

[90 Vol]

No way in hell we give up that many points and we’re not likely to score that many. I see us winning a 28-17 type game.

 

[VetVol]

alaVOL, KBVol, & 90 Vol all thinking the same. I guess great minds think alike. I concur with their conclusions

 

[RanMac]

it is hard for Tennessee to score with little or no passing game.

 

[VOLfrombama]

Totally agree except i think the score will be even lower. 17-10 type game with our defense winning the game for us again......for the 7-8th time this year actually.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

Vols play a complete game. Beat an inferior opponent 42-17

 

[Vol737]

Have to hold them to 21 or less. JMO

 

[alexbond45]

Vols win by 90 as unheralded walk-on Meyton Panning tosses 10 TDs

 

[YankeeVol]

It'd be a win. I'll take it

And entertaining

 

[chrismc1000]

42- 21 Vols win

 

[FLVOL_79]

37 points? I guess they are assuming our special teams, defense, and rushing game are going to put points on the board.

 

[Volfreak1964]

28 17 us is my prediction. Go Vols!

 

[RollerVol]

it is hard for Tennessee to score with little or no passing game.

serious?...or you forgot the blue font...we'll pass on them all day...

GO BIG ORANGE...BEAT THE HOOSIERS!

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

it is hard for Tennessee to score with little or no passing game.

Mizzou Defense says Hi!

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Have to hold them to 21 or less. JMO

I see us holding them to 17 or less until garbage time.

 

[tennesseeduke]

Indiana will not be able to score in a room full of hookers by them self!

Vols 38
Hoosiers 17

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Ignorant

 

[Other_Guy]

Score is way too high.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

I'm hoping we don't give up 34 and don't think our chances of victory are very high if we do.

ESPN journalists been smokin meth. No way we give up 34 pts to frikin Indiana lol.

 

[NeverWe'llSever]

30-13 victory. Orange will dominate the stands and they’ll be cheering all game.

 

[Samthebam]
