This is the next streak that must end this year....

November 10th, 2010.

That's the last time UT beat a team from the SECw.

Since then, we have lost to every team in the west..... except one.

Before we beat Alabama next week we need to prevent a complete shutout against west teams this week.

If we can pressure Knight (and I think we can as DB is playing at a 1st team All-American level right now) then we have a good shot to win.

Dobbs can handle the atmosphere, I'm not as worried about the O as much as the Defense this game.

Vols beat Ole Miss in 2010. I think that was the last time they beat an SECW team.

Haha. Thanks fixed it.

I was at that game. Thought Bray was going to be the next Manning after that lol.

If TN wants to control their own destiny and keep their eyes on the big prize (playoffs) they are going to have to. I'm tired of losing to West teams every single year. Would be nice to be able to throw some shade back at them and not just hear the whole SEC (L)East crap. It's going to take their best game of the Butch Jones era to pull it off though.

IMO, game comes down to which DL gets the most pressure/sacks on the QB.

 

[volsfan125]

We are 2-18 against the west since '08 Miss St '08 and Ole Miss 2010

and we are on a 11 game, 5 yrs losing streak to the west

I don't like their receivers going against our secondary. If Knight is on and we don't get pressure, look out.

Will we play man or zone? I worry about Knight beating us with his legs with our depleted LB corps and our DB's are in man.

It'd be nice to get a win here. Like others, I worry about our defense in this one.

Yes it is.

 

[Jax_Vol]

If we play our normal 4-2-5 base type defense, they will kill us with the run...(see UGA first half).

If we add another body in the box to help the linebackers, they will kill us with the pass (see UGA second half).

The only solution I know of is to start Jauan Jennings at LB.
