Incredible opportunity for the Vols

A win against Oregon would be HUGE for the program right now....I'm not saying we have a great chance to beat them but we do have a chance.....let's hope Wilcox can keep them contained and D....as long as we play mistake free football on offense(few penalties, no turnovers) and control the ball we should come out with a W

i read something the other day that said since 1999, oregon is 11-2 on the road in the month of september...that's pretty good.

But how many of those are against a crowd like ours?

I imagine Boise was pretty loud for that game, and, as the other guy said, the Michigan game was against a way, way deflated team and fan base.

I would love to see who those victories were against.
Edit: I see someone posted a few of them.

Let's check:

9/3/09: L (19-8 @Boise)
9/13/08: W (32-26 2OT @Purdue)
9/27/08: W (63-14 @Wazzu)
9/8/07: W (39-7 @Michigan)
9/29/07: W (55-31 @Stanford)
9/9/06: W (31-24 @Fresno St)
9/30/06: W (48-13 @Arizona St)

Wiki doesn't have their results going further back, and someone else could check if they like, but this is enough to convince me that they actually have a pretty stout road record in September. That said, their road opponents haven't exactly been top class (the Michigan game was the week after the Appy State game).

Doesn't look like Oregon travels to the south much, hopefully that works in our favor.

Thanks. So, to what I posted earlier, tack on:

'04 L @Oklahoma (31-7)
'03 W @Mississippi State (42-34)
'03 W @Arizona (48-10)
'01 W @Utah State (38-21)
'00 L @Wisconsin (27-23)

So Wisconsin makes the third loss, so I guess it's '01-'09 that they were 10-2 on the road. Against major conference teams that aren't Pac-10, that includes a loss @Oklahoma and wins @Purdue, Michigan, and Mississippi State.

A win against Oregon would give the team much needed confidence heading in to the Florida game.

Coaching staff should treat the team to a roast duck dinner if they tenderize Puddles (aka; Donald Duck)
by beating his rear in the game.

A win this weekend would be huge for building momentum for the season.

This plus would help recruiting. There is suppose to be a few unofficial visits this weekend for the game. I think ut needs to be as loud as it has been in a while.

Fact is Oregon's performance has set up a great opportunity for the Vols. While the chances are slim, a victory against a top ten team will create tremendous buzz that should create momentum for the season as well as recruiting.

Could be the Vols most important non conference game in the last 10 years.

Agree but I see Simms being pulled/ exiting early to accomplish this feat.

We got isolated thunderstorms predicted for Saturday.....Read option teams have trouble with a slick football....could be the perfect storm :crossfingers:

I honestly think if we play Oregon close. Win or Lose. It will give the team the momentum and they will realize that they can beat anybody, and will hopefully travel over to the Florida gmae.
