I think if an opposing team's fan walked into Vol Nation and said, "hey, how you guys doing, just here to get to know the other team before the game, tell me about yourselves," that would give me pause. That's real confidence.

But arriving in VN.com to start threads with diatribes about how amazing your team is, that just smacks of insecurity. Whistling past the graveyard.

Are you really that worried, Mule? Can you feel the false bravado for what it is?

Vols by 13. Grier has thrown at least one INT in every game against defenses that were ranked double digits in defensive efficiency. which we were... even last year.
Grier throws 2-3 Ints
WVU defense cant stop Baylor who had two midgets and baked potato playing meaningful minutes.
Vols win by 13

remember the GaTech coach was fighting mad after last year's opener because they should have won--but spit happens!

I love the WV optimism because we are being completely over looked!

WV going down!

Defense:

Defensive line a strength. No real concerns. WVU believes its DL is night and day from last year.

At LB the first four, lead by David Long and Dylan Tonkery, are exceptional. Not much experience after the top four of Long, Tonkery, Benton and Hensley. WVU will be in trouble if one of the top four goes down.

The Spur (Dravon Askew-Henry), Bandit (Toyous Avery) and FS (Kenny Robinson) are solid to exceptional.

LCB Hakeem Bailey has had a good fall camp battling against one of the best group of WRs in the country, but Bailey has always been a practice superstar who only started to show his talent in games late last year.

RCB Derrek Pitts has the skills and attitude to be a shutdown CB but he's up and down as r-frosh starting for the fist time will be. Pitts is a big hitter with good speed.

Offense:

OL is a strength of the team and one of the best in the country. They've had a few titanic battles with the DL.

The WR group truly is one of, if not the best in the country. Dana describes Alabama transfer TJ Simmons as "pro" with the ability to "go get the football". Frosh Sam Jones has shown blazing speed. Marcus Simms has had a great fall camp and has Grier's full trust going into the season. And there's always David Sills and Gary Jennings...

The breakout has been TE Javoni Haskins. Haskins has shown incredible hands and has the speed and size to take advantage of LB coverage. If Haskins has a weakness its blocking. If he's in the game then he's likely a target or a decoy.

The RBs have been somewhat disappointing with 4* frosh Leddie Brown being the only true standout. Brown, 6'1", 190, will not start but he might just get the bulk of the carries.

Dana and DC Tony Gibson have done nothing to curtail expectations. As a matter of fact both have been downright cocky.

Its a safe bet that WVU will use a three WR set with TE Trevon Wesco in as h-back for max protect to start the game. They expect Tennessee to blitz early and often and exploit the matchups that result.

Expect Grier to take a few shots deep early especially if Sills has double coverage and Simms or Simmons are one-on-one.

Mule coming in with this we got the best, most amazing, dominating, unmatched chant...

Deep down he’s scared...and he knows it!

Well. I will say that a majority of WVU fans aren't thinking this strongly. They are more tamed in their view of their team. I think WVU will have a good year this year. They are in the top half of the better teams we will see this year, maybe 5th or 6th best team we will play. If we win, it would be a really good start to the season...if we lose, we get two weeks to get better and play Florida. Excited for the game. Mule is probably just trying to get us all riled up. If not, he is going to have a very disappointing year.

So your offensive line has had some titanic battles with one of the worst defensive lines in the country that gave up an average of 445 yards per game last season. Tell me again how they're one of the best in the country

"Defensive line a strength. No real concerns. WVU believes its DL is night and day from last year. "

So, they have only played their own offense? Couldn't that mean this year's offense isn't as good as the last?

I have little doubts they will have one of the better offenses that UT will play this season, but I’m not sold on their defense.

Especially, when they gave up so many rushing yards to Kansas last season.

This game will come down to which team can make the most plays and turnovers on defense as I expect both offenses to play well in this game.

I think UT’s offensive line will push them down the field opening holes for the RB’s and they will hit enough plays in the passing game to give them a chance to win.

Pruitt will roll the dice on defense and get some sacks to end drives for them and create turnovers.
