-The line has opened at TN -10.5. That’s higher than I expected.

-I’m taking UT on the spread. Anything under 14.5 was a gift. Our Bulldogs just aren’t there yet.

-This line will only move towards Tennessee. The betting public and computers both see this as Tennessee dogwalking us. I bet the line closes in 17-20 range. This is another miss by Vegas.

-Limiting possessions is a good idea if you are outgunned. We need to receive the kickoff to try to establish the flow of the game.

-The ideal scenario is to be midway through the second quarter up 14-0 or even 10-0 and having run 30 plays to Tenneseee's 3. That's absolutely something possible in a vacuum. This gets Tennessee on their heels and pressing. Then it's more likely to cause more ****ups and Punts.

-If TN decides they want to just throw the ball instead of running it. That may keep us in the game longer. If they decide to be balanced I doubt we stand a chance of keeping it close. Shapen is a one read Qb. Once they take it away we're screwed. I expect Shapen to be sacked 7 or 8 times because his 1st read is gone and he refuses to throw the ball away.

-McCoy being out helps. But we're outgunned on defense strength / depth. Limiting time helps mitigate that. Escaping the first quarter playing 3 plays on defense would be huge for the second half.

-We're going to need an Arizona State type atmosphere again to have a chance. Wear white and ring responsibly though!

-I think we're in for a shootout.

-If we win we can legitimately start talking about what it takes to get into the CFP. It would be a dramatic turnaround, similar to what Arizona State did a year ago.

-Honestly, this season is already a win and a step in the right direction. We are a few players short of being able to play with Tennessee. Just need to keep competing, win a couple of conference games and keep raising the talent level.

-We need to be excited and amped up for the game while still being grounded to the reality that Tenn is a really, REALLY good team. To be within two scores would be a huge victory.

-We have to find a way not go down 14-0 early if we wanna keep this one close.

-To have any chance against UT, we’re going to have to run the ball effectively. I think it’ll be like a 42-28 final.

-Some of you are giving UT way too much credit. Aguilar really isn’t that good of a QB. We win Saturday.

All intelligent and respectful with the exception of the last guy

There's always one @$$hat but overall a good fanbase

Miss State is far better than I expected them to be this year, but they still just aren’t that good. We need to play a clean game, but as long as we do that, we roll in this game. They just don’t have the talent or depth to slow us down for 4 quarters.
I don't know. The beat az state but I don't think az state is that good this year either. I think they got a lot of credit for last year in the preseason.

The cowbells will be difficult but cowbells don't shake a stadium like people yelling screaming and stomping does.

Fellas, I must warn you: the Vols have scored an average of 21 points per first quarter this season. And we have allowed an average of 2 points to our foes in the same period. That's a cumulative 83 to 7 score over four 1st Qtrs. And yep, that includes UGa.

But you'd like to get up 10-0 or 14-0 on us. Heh.

Good luck with that.

Go Vols!
