For those of you who think we are going to lose. I ask why? We went in there with one of the worst teams ever assembled last year and played pretty darn well. We are miles improved this year, at home, our senior quarterback back. I don't see them any better than what they were last year. I just don't understand why we are thinking we are going to lose this one.

Last year's QB threw 19 TD passes the entire season last year. This year's has already thrown 15. Their offense is much better this year and more dangerous. They are on a much higher pace of chunk plays this season as well.

Another thing to watch for tomorrow- Tenn is averaging 21 points in the 1st Q. Our D usually starts slow and then we make great halftime adjustments.

Going to watch us whip orange a**

UT - 52
Dawgs - 21

This is somewhat my feelings also. We were fortunate against ASU since their QB was so far off target. ASU had guys wide open but he couldn't hit them. I think we can move the ball against Tennessee but I don't think our defense is good enough to stop them. Tennessee-45, State-24.

You think our running game can pick up yards vs the orange vols?

The cowbells and atmosphere rattled Leavitt. He?s looked better since.

If we play the first quarter like we did against NIU, it?ll be 21-0 (or worse), the crowd will be dejected and we?ll be one dimensional? UT will pin their ears back and abuse Shapen. We are better and I like where we are heading, but we have to get out to a good start and keep the crowd in it.

Orange jumpsuit gang 42 Dawgs 21

We get at least 1 penalty for Cowbells

They didn?t give two shits about playing NIU. They were already practicing for Tennessee that week. I expect them to be more locked in than the ASU game. This game is HUGE for Lebby and the team.

I just don't know why we are so hell bent on this being a lose. What if we jump out and kick them around like we did against ASU? Joey has never been tested, Vols haven't been the best away from Knoxville. You guys are just writing this like it's yesterday's MSU.

believe in Lebby and the team going forward.

Going against the grain -
UT's defense is trash and are giving up 372 yards a game. They gave up over 300 in the air to UAB. Our defense plays their best game so far.

MSU 34
TN 21

Shapen 375

now you're talkin

O Ye of little faith!

UT - 41
MSU - 42
