Kirk Herbstreit picks IU to Beat VOLS

[Neyland Law Vol]

Gameday staple doesn't like the vols in the game tonight.

"I think Indiana’s offense can score,” Herbstreit said. “Tennessee in the second half of the season has looked great, but this is not your typical, physical Big Ten team. They’ll get you on the edges and challenge you. I like Indiana."

Hope we prove them wrong.

He's STILL butthurt from "The" Loss...

Kirk will be proved wrong in a big way and ESPN favors Big 10 teams over SEC teams unless the SEC team is Alabama

Well it's official then...we lose....Might as well just go back home to Knoxville boys!

Lil 10 homer. No respect on Volnation

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

Surprised he didn't slip up and say "THE Indiana University"

 

[ButchPlz]

Didn't a bunch of these botox-d up, spray tanned buffoons pick Iowa AND Northwestern in the same way?

Good luck with that, Kirk Schiano.

 

[Nationdom]

Indiana doesnt have the speed to get outside or the size to hit up the gut... I wonder what they will do?

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

To me, Its really up to two things: (1) How does JG play and (2) can we protect the ball and avoid turnovers.

What loss? Against Clemson?

LOL the butthurt from some on here about someone predicting the winner of the game is the height of weakness.

You gotta love Kirk’s rationale for picking IU. So, if they were physical, we would have a better chance right Kirk? Herbstreit is a big 10 guy so no surprise here.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Herbstreit is a Reds fan, about the only use I have for him.

Agree, I don't think IU matches up well with us at all, as long as we don't have any self inflected stuff (turnovers, penalties) I think that we should win by 7-10 points.

Herbstreit is the best in the biz. Anyone who thinks he's a Big 10 homer isn't paying attention. I hope he's wrong, but if he picked Indiana it's because he thinks they're more likely to win. And that doesn't hurt my feelings.

Do you agree with his thought? Disagree?

He picked Indiana because he wants UT to succeed and when he picks UT they usually lose.

 

[BigOrangeAl 1979]

Watching Indiana what little I did this season they can score and score quick better than we can. I expect us to to use good ball control and try to run the ball and play keep away. Not having Jennings in the first half will hurt. If JG starts getting the cobwebs in his head again we are in trouble. We might see 3 QB’s tonite

I haven't seen Indiana play all season. So he's in a better position than am I to make a prediction (plus, it's his job). But whether I agree with him or not, I've seen and heard enough of Herbstreit to respect his opinion. He's a pro.

Especially considering his twin sons play for Clemson. I’m not sure he was all that upset that Clemson won.

 

[Hacksaw]

He's a Big Ten homer. But it's a smart prediction, because this does look like a close game on paper. If he's wrong, no one will remember he said it. And if he's right, he'll remind everyone that he said it. It's a "can't lose" prediction for him.

He's at about 62% all time straight up, that's not that great truthfully. Against the spread maybe, but otherwise nothing to write home about especially when it's a major segment of of your job. Definitely on the low end versus his peers.

Yes, and he is pretty favorable toward Tennessee often. In fact, sometimes I feel like he's too favorable toward Tennessee. He lives in Nashville and I think he's secretly a Vol fan.
