The Official #24/#18 Tennessee vs. Syracuse Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, ABC

[Other_Guy]

Ya’ll please calm down about Sanders being out. Yes it sucks, but damn if this fanbase isn’t the biggest Negative Nancy’s ever. You’re killing the excitement for game day.

Sanders is one of the top players that could make or break the season. The fact Price said he'll be back "soon" means its not even guaranteed he'll be back for ETSU. Even if he is, you're talking going from bad comp to freaking Georgia. We're trying to avoid a repeat of the disaster at tackle last year. You have to admit, fans are right when they say its always something. Altho this seems to be one of the the more healthy times the team has been to open the season. But sanders is one of the last players you want to miss the opener.

Arion Carter has the fire! Let’s go VOLS!

He was fired up in the huddle earlier on the field, crowd reacted when they showed him.

He's ready to hit somebody.

This is one of the best Week 1 matchups I've seen.

Let's go Vols! I like that Aguilar has some body to him. Hopefully that helps survive the season.

With Sanders out, my score prediction changes somewhat. Defense will ball out today, but offense will be frustrating

VOLS 24
Orangemen-14

Gettin' a kick out of reading about Syracuse traditions. Their cheerleaders picked the Orange mascot while at a cheerleading camp in TENNESSEE in 1982, and named it Otto the Orange.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

I bet Aguilar gets 50+ rushing yards today

Damn I didn't know that lol.

 

[Sarms58]

Omfg…who plays at RT now? Warren?

Yep…he’s ready and will be eager show everyone why he was a 4 star recruit. But we will probably also see Perry…I believe the OL is young but very talented and versatile

 

[I4Vols]

Just curious, what were tv game predictions?

I’m aware, but he’s also a freshman. We have no way of knowing if he’ll be the next Trey Smith or not, so relax.
