This team doesn’t blow anybody out. They don’t beat teams by 15 or more unless their opponent plays poorly. The stage for this is past. We should know by now that the Vols have a tendency to play down to their opponent. That’s ok, as long as they scrap out a win.
Iowa will be real test. Like UT, they are a scrappy team. Many were down on IU because they played poorly their last five games, which is dangerous. They are not sensational, but the Big12 is a very tough conference.
Unless we pay extremely well, we should prepare for a close win. We should fully expect that that the Vols will play hard, and even expecting we won’t shoot well, we should demand at least a narrow win based on effort. Anything else will be a disappointment for the season.
