I think we have a good shot in this game.

[Volnanza]

I am concerned about Simmons and the DL. Are we going to be a full strength there? If so, then I think we can win (maybe big). Lets all just resist the urge to call them a bunch of rented mules.

It's weird to me to actually feel like we have a chance in a hyped up game like this, but I feel like we have a chance to win.

 

[Bloodrunsorange27]

We're going to win

 

[BleedingButch]

You are telling me that we have a chance? We are 3 point dogs!

 

[robby487]

Matt who ?

 

[87&91ALUM]

Me too! Got a feeling about this Hooker-Heupel team. Been very impressed with defense. The big unknown is depth and keeping them under 30 points. Go Vols! UT 28 - Rebs 20

Our defense is better than Ole Miss’s. We are going to stop the run.

 

[landscapingvol]

It will come down to the team that can get a handful of stops when it counts

We absolutely have a chance to win this game.

I feel better about it after Mizzou.

 

[Dudleys87]

We absolutely have a chance to win this game.

If Tennessee does not get caught in the wash and just play ball they will win.
defend the run and limit the big plays passing and Tennessee will run away with it.

Yeah, end thread!

3 point spread means don’t miss your field goals.

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

We just need to not be too upset if we don’t. This game is exciting, but it’s also a heat check. It will be a good indicator of where we are.

If we get beat like a drum, then that’s where we are right now: not there yet but some impressive stuff to build on.

If we win: we are officially the surprise team of college football and Heupel will start getting coach of the year consideration.

Either is fine, and we’re bowling in Heup’s first year regardless. That’s a win in itself.

Think it mightttt be a lil bit more points than that lol

 

[fossilfiction]

I do too but the skeptic in me says otherwise. We are about to find out who we are in year 1.

 

[gnm53108]

It’s their misfortune that they’re next. Bring em on.

 

[Pickinhick]

Winning this game will be great for recruiting!

Our 12th man needs to short circuit their communication on the field. They average 10 penalties a game. Make it more volnation.

Maybe he means 1st quarter.

False start. Delay of game. Delay of game. False start. Illegal substitution. Delay of game...

Our DEFENSE is going to bring the PAIN in this game!

 

[Ashevillevol]

How did they get to be ranked #13?

 

[Volnanza]

My main question was about the DL. Simmons went out of the SC game and I think he did not return. He's our best anchor on the DL. I'm wondering about their health for the game. Barron was also limping around. Without those two we could have a very long night.

I must be getting old. Nobody picked up on the "mules" comment. Get the wayback machine.

 

[Volnanza]

Perhaps I should of said 'Archie who?'
