State is not going to be an easy game

Two similar offenses that can score a lot. Neither defense is great. Gonna be a shoot-out. Home field advantage is huge. The Vols coming to town ranked #15 is a big deal to these schools we haven't played in a while. It's going to be really LOUD. Their fans won't sit around waiting for something to cheer about. Likely decided by the final play of the game.

I can speak for myself when I say that I haven't. Not being a smart@$$, genuinely interested--what are their weaknesses and what do you think that we will be able to exploit to get the W on Saturday?
Their run defense is among the worst in the conference, they don't have much talent outside one WR and one CB who is somewhat quick.

Their lines are not very big nor strong, they give up tons of sacks, and their best win is a lucky hail mary win vs Arizona St who isn't that good.

On top of that, Northern Illinois (1-2 with a FG win vs Holy Cross) shut their offense down for 2.5 quarters without even blitzing

Makes me feel better. I also saw that they run a 3-3-5 on defense. We should have no problem just lining up and running the ball against that style of defense until they adjust then we can throw over their heads.

Yeah, I think if Vols go into 4th qtr with a lead Heuple will go strictly to the run game and milk the clock with long drives and take a few shots down field when the D gets tired.
