PITT opens as a 1.5pt favorite

Vols open as home underdogs against Pittsburgh

[Carl Pickens]

Looks about right to me…. Hopefully the Vols play better

 

[OLEVOLFAN]

Yeah I figured all along this game would be a toss up

We need our student section ready to go at noon on Saturday.

We need our student section ready to go at noon on Saturday.

We need our QB to play like he said he would!

Students, take 2 Tylenol before bed Friday night and chug a Gatorade.

Take Pitt. Vols lose by 10+. They'll stack the box to stop our RBs, and 1 completion in 3 quarters against a bad bowling green team doesn't bode well for dealing with that.

 

[SDV]

Should be motivation for the players

 

[BigALWiLson]

Better bring an answer for what we saw Thursday but I will be there

Don't want any until the team can prove folks wrong.

If I were actually objective and didn’t have a vested interest in our team, I would say this is a very realistic spread. Not surprised in the least.

and this surprises anyone how?

 

[UTK]

Gonna be a nail biter

 

[franklinboy]

Milton has got to be able to throw the ball and make downfield completions.....otherwise we gonna be in for a rude awakening...akso hopefully Byron Young will be back but if not i'm hopeful that oir defensive line plays LIGHTS OUT!

 

[Dudleys87]

Tennessee handles business 2-0

 

[Nationdom]

very disappointed in this. I'd like to see us come out and do a repeat of cal 2006

 

[Nationdom]

Gonna be a nail biter

I like UT by 17+

 

[BigALWiLson]

Thats possible

 

[Nationdom]

and this surprises anyone how?

it surprise me because we have better athletes across the board and playing at Neyland

 

[BigALWiLson]

I wouldn't bet on it. Gonna need Milton playing at his best. Without the Superman sh1t

 

[UTVols18]

I’ll be ready and I am also hammering +1.5

 

[Dudleys87]

Big upfront on offense
Undersides but speedy on defensive line.
They use a number of backs to run the ball.
Pickett threw 272 and 2 scores
Use the LB to bring pressure from a lot of different spots, and angles

Biggest concern is how well we play in space. They depend on speed to create big plays. If Tennessee continues to play well in space and tackle they’ll be fine.

If there’s not some sort of growth between Thursday and Saturday there’s a problem but until he plays bad enough to bench him Milton gets the call.

Gonna need Simmons and Terry to have another disruptive game and get creative with pressure. I think the Vols win but it won’t be going away.
