I'll be there, and I have no doubt it'll be a great game. I just hope for Tennessee's sake they have someone who can stop LaMichael James and Kenjon Barner. If not, it'll be over quickly.
Yes, the 2 finest backs in America, UT won't see so much talent all year. Has this game been called yet, If not I'm suprised. Nothing like the tradition of a program like the Ducks in of the land. Is UT getting paid by Oregon to play this game by the by?
Yes, but we're running behind the same 5 who blocked for us last season. You aren't the same defense you were last year, but we're a better running team than we were last season. We have one of the deepest backfields in the country, behind a veteran offensive line. I'm not questioning your defense as much as I am stating that we're a phenomenal running team.
Not busting you, but Oregon called off the dogs, it was 59-0 at halftime. If Oregon had tried they literally could have scored upwards of 90 on them.
Then that would be the same o-line and backs who thumped out 31 yards on 17 carries against Boise St last year? Not sure that qualifies as "phenomenal." But I do see another parallel between that game and this year as I'm sure do you.

I see no parallel. Boise is, and was, CLEARLY superior to the Vols and Ducks then and now. What are you trying to say? That us playing an away game against a very young team breaking in a completely new coaching staff is anywhere near the setting of last year's game at Boise? So you have Justin Wilcox? Big deal! If you don't have the talent on the field then it means nothing. We grew up a lot after that game and look where it got us. A Pac-10 Championship and a trip to the Rose Bowl where we, again, lost to a superior opponent. Where did you all end up? 7-6 after getting demolished in the Chick-fil-A Bowl by a superior opponent. Defining the talent of our offensive line and running backs in the first game of the season is illogical. What did we do after that? I believe LaMichael James averaged 6.7 yards per carry, set the freshman Pac-10 rushing record, and had 14 rushing TDs.
I think its quite obvious what the "parallel" is, the DC's are the same. Thats it, he said nothing more. It may not amount to anything other than Wilcox has some first hand knowledge of the OU offense, and the outcome is already written in stone, we get all the other stuff, sheeeez.
