Opener Quick Take

[mitzustu]

This matchup favors the Vols. Our strength vs their weakness. They lost a 1st round (Kinlaw) and 4th round DL (Wonnum). Our OL should be stout. I see a 40 rush attempt game.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

I see this as Muschamp's last year being at SC.

Pounding the rock, the Vols beat the Cocks!

I see this as Muschamp's last year being at SC.

Agree. He's gotten progressively worse the last 3 years.

 

[Remy]

I agree with the overall sentiment. However, Muschamp is very a good DC. We'll have to be more versatile on offense than some may believe and he has a few signature wins beating people who come in to run it all over his no name defenses.

I like Tennessee by 17+

People may scoff at this but we did hand them a 20point loss last year.

With our recent history in openers I’ll take the Vols by 7.

This game will be ugly and will be decided by 3pts or less.

As long as we don't let them score on their first play from scrimmage, we may have a chance. Otherwise, all is lost.

I want to fuss at you but we have Not started well

 

[UTP69]

I hope we make Muskrat throw a lot of his temper tantrums. He excels at it.
Pluck the cocks!

I want to fuss at you but we have Not started well

First game with no cupcake warmup, both teams will make mistakes and it will be a back and forth struggle. Defenses have an advantage but there will be plenty of mistakes there as well. I think we should win but who knows what will happen. I can guarantee you most fans will not be thrilled with the team's performance after this game. I just hope they can get out of there with the win. We should be able to tell more about this team in game 2 I think.

225+ rushing for the Vols!!

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

This could easily end up like last year.

We out hustled them and most importantly it really looked to me like there was a decent talent gap between us and them.

We have momentum in our program, they don't.

I think we get it one way or another.

 

[Iam4utalways]

1-0 ready for season opener at Neyland. Maybe at night vs Florida.

 

[FlVols]

Whip some Cocks!

Or one.

this match up favors the Vols because they're USC and we are TN. Those days are coming back.

I don't trust his stache.

They clearly did not take Ga. St. seriously last year, but I would be very surprised if the staff does not have them well prepared for this opener. SC will be fired up for the opener too, but Vols will get it done. GBO.

 

[WillieT]

Muschamp is on his way to working for Mack Brown (agsin) at NC. We will help his exit from SC.

 

[Spook1]

I see this as Muschamp's last year being at SC.

Don't bank on Muschamp being fired....last year his buy out was around $17 million.
