Looked pretty good on defense though. I'm still not convinced they're as good as everybody says though.

And App State just scored a TD off that fumbled punt. Tenn defense didn't look all that great on that series ... gave up lots of rushing yards, and the TD.
I'm with ya, I'm not buying into the Tennessee hype just yet. That being said they have a soft schedule. When are teams gonna quit scheduling app state. Dang I wouldn't want to play them. They come into these games with nothing to lose.
They are getting gashed up the middle. Not a great start to the hyped year of the Vol. 7-0 App State.
Yea, I like the TD, and I'd like to see TN lose, but not to App State. Makes the SEC look bad, in turn makes us look bad.
App St. has a better o-line than we do.
UT sure ain't looking like national champs so far.
The SEC Network announcer sure is a Tennessee homer. I know he's well known from his voice, but can't place who he is.
It's musburger and Jesse PalmerQuote:

Yes, of course. Musburger.Quote:

Hype doesn't execute plays. When the ball is kicked off, we find out who can play and who can't.

Haha. But only if you make the extra point. They missed. 13-3.
Rocky Top is silent right now.
App St. Leads 13-3
The App St OL is pushing Tn around. I hope they beat Tn and it's looking good right now. They and their coach are about as arrogant in the East as UNM in the West. I hope the missed x point doesn't come back to haunt them.
Preseason predictions in college football(except Bama) are almost completely useless. Teams and players change way to much from year to year.Quote:

Yeah, that's most likely the reason, or at least most of it. Plus, they're an SEC school ... supposed to be good. I didn't even know where App State was located until they said it was Boone, NC, a few minutes ago. But they're a spunky team for sure.Quote:

This^^^^ every year the same old story, Tennessee gonna be really good this year. They gonna have to convince me on the field first.Quote:

Yep!Quote:

No excuse for UT tonight.
TN will probably still win, but IF they lose, that game in Bristol next week will not be as momentous as first thought.
A few boos send UT to the locker room.
To bad we aren't in the east.
That pass by Dobbs was horrible. Looked like a freshman throw.
Yeah Tennessee starting toQuote:

Now the Dobbs hype, I haven't understood. I thought he would take a step up this year, but so far.....
Absolutely. We just have both the fortune and misfortune of playing in the best division of the best conference in the nation.Quote:

Who would've imagined Vandy would be best team in Tennessee tonight.
This gane is the reason pre season polls in cfb mean nothing. All hype and no substance accept for a few ultra elites.
