Week 5 Prediction Thread-Time to Arrive Edition

[StarkVegasSteve]

Well the week has finally arrived. We all held out hope we could get by our non con schedule and get to 4-0. I really believe we're going to have to score to win this one. I really think they are going to test our secondary early and often. I also believe we will test theirs as well but I think we need to establish the run early because they will be playing a bunch of drop coverage to take away Thompson and Evans. I've said all week that this one will be determined by LOS. If we can give Shapen time and open up running lanes we are going to have a good shot. We also need to get a pass rush on Aguilar and I think Hutzler will get far more exotic in blitz packages than we have seen all year. I don't know why I feel like this, but I think we pull this one out and start 5-0. Dawgs 42-Vols 31

Shapen- 305 pass yds
Booth and Bothwell-165 combined yds

Our secondary is going get abused. Unlike the ASU QB, UT can actually complete passes to their wide open receivers...

UT - 52
Dawgs - 21

[msudawglb]

UT - 41
Dawgs - 23

I think it might be close at halftime...like UT -17, Us - 13....but they make adjustments and we break in the 3rd quarter.

[EdwardDrayton]

Vols 48, Dawgs 23. Ferrie will be busy.

[shoeless joe]

38-20 we get our first L...but at least i'm still invested going into week5 this year

[Maverick91]

Until I see it, I don't trust Joey to play big in an actual hostile environment. I say we get in his head and I say we trust our corners to get this done. Shapen shows up and balls out, takes over this game.

It's going to be one of those like Jefferson pilot classics. All our heart medications will be taken.

[Matt3467]

I think we find 2 more wins this year just not this weekend.

Vols - 49
Us - 30

[Ranchdawg]

I usually don’t do predictions because I’m terrible at it. Yes I will have taken my heart medication not because it will be close and heart attack I will have taken my heart medication because of a broken heart.

Also will predict after game there will be a huge thread here complaining about number of Orange fans in prime sitting areas.

[JimBobDawg]

I hate predicting MSU to lose. So if we play to our optimum potential.
Dawgs 41

Shapen: 320 yds
Booth & Bothwell 155 yds combined.

[SaintDawg]

[Lord McBuckethead]

Can we get larger advertisements to pop up?

[Pancho]

amen to that

[TrapGame]

Heart: Dawgs 41 Vols 38

Kyle Ferrie goes into the annals of MSU football for a 60 yard FG for the win as time expires.

Head: Dawgs 24 Vols 42

Joey A is the real deal and doesn?t get rattled. And we have two red zone drives killed by idiotic penalties.

[Turfdawg67]

Dawgs 20

[confucius say]

38-31 TN

[Maverick91]

Ight.... well it's not as terrible. But averaging everything together, we lose 41-30.

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.
