Vols need "new tricks" against tOSU

OSU may think they'll be ready and maybe they will. They have played the Vols before but don't play that fast pace everytime. Gators also knew our style and had played us before when we beat them the second time around. Think the Vols will do ok and hopefully keep it close to the end where we have a chance.

This is all part of Pearl's reverse psychology ninjitsu ... "Oh woe is us ... OSU knows everything we do ... etc" The Buckeyes are going to think they know our gameplan, and we're going to hit them with something they didn't practice for. Watch.

I've said in another thread that, yes, likely they will play better against the press.
But that doesn't mean they won't still see it. See alot of it. Because even if you are out there beating that press in the first half, you are going to be weary from the effort in the end of the second.
That is the rarely mentioned benefit of playing press...at the end you are still going, while they find they are sucking wind they haven't been since early season conditioning. When that happens, shots tend to fall wayward..

Thing about Ohio State, their guards (Conley, Cook) are young, so hopefully the press (even though they saw it earlier this season) will still be effective. I don't expect OSU to look completely incompetent handling the press like LSU was (two times), but a few turnovers out of it would be big.

I also saw the guards as a weak spot.
