Vols (3-5) vs Troy (4-4)

[VolFan4Life87]

I know it's not really comparable since they're not in the SEC, but man I never thought I'd see the day UT played a "cupcake" and said cupcake has a better W-L record :no:

 

[1967vol]

Why do you assert that Troy is a "cupcake"?

 

[YankeeVol]

Said cupcake plays in the Sun Belt

The 572 yards gained by the Trojans are the most against an SEC team this season and the Bulldogs entered Saturday's contest having allowed just 481 yards combined in their first two games. It was also the second most yards given up during Dan Mullen's four-year tenure as the head coach of the Bulldogs

Because they're Troy?

I think he is stating that Troy is typically what most top tier teams would consider a cupcake. But in evaluating this team they are actually a very good offensive team and could pose problems. I.E. Auburn vs LA Monroe, if you would have asked an Auburn fan preseason if they had any "cupcakes" on their schedule.....they would have said LA Monroe IMO. But as we found out, that wasn't the case.

Like in 2013 we have an out of conference game against Oregon, most would consider them a non-cupcake or difficult team.

Speaking in terms of a teams conference affilation and traditional program relativity. Troy has traditionally been a cupcake for SEC caliber teams.....

Im no negavol, but I wont be stunned if we lose.. were gonna have to score upwards of 35+ to win this game..

 

[Majorvol23]

The Vols should be hungry for a win, and based on that, I don't see them taking anyone lightly at this point ... That said, Troy can move the ball and will definitely give our secondary some problems

Troy got a whole lot of help from M St in that game.
18 missed assignments and 20 missed tackles.
They were playing at home against a D that didn't show up and still lost.
With all those hyping how great they are, hope the same people call it a signature win Saturday night when our D holds them to 20 or less.

I hope I'm wrong but this game feels just like Wyoming. I think we might lose

 

[Donvolson]

We will beat troy easily and it will still look frustrating

We had no offense in 2008.
Cromp was the QB if you will remember.

Not really comparing the skills between the 2 teams, just basing my opinion on the overall feeling of the program. Coach on the hot seat and a team coming in to play us when we are vulnerable

 

[VolsByNature]

Is the game even on TV?

 

[FLVOL_79]

Foxsports south or north or whatever its called.

 

[wood007]

Is the game even on TV?

Yes. FSN

 

[1967vol]

Is FSN on Dish Network in TN?

 

[Donvolson]

Nick Stevens QB'd in 2008 for the Wyoming game didn't he? threw it to LB for pick 6. It's crazy that he is in an NFL camp and so was Crompton. Many teams wanted Crompton in the beginning.

Gonna go into eugene and dominate

 

[FootVolintheFall]

Why do you assert that Troy is a "cupcake"?

Perhaps because their last win was 1 point victory over an in-conference 1-8 team. Or their loss last week to a 2-6 team. Either of those would be my guess.

 

[nikesportsfan]

We've had trouble with Alabama teams lately, I have a feeling this will be another

well if we fire a head coach coach today or tomorrow then probably yeah...it tends to distract / demotivate teams like that, especially the closer the proximity

If we keep Dooley we might lose. He doesn't know jack about being a big school coach. Fat Sal sunpoopy will have his d give up 40 points.

Troy may be our toughest OOC opponent of the season.
