I know everyone seems kind of bummed. Personally, I’m excited, this is a chance to prove ourselves against one of the giants of college football! If we play them, how do you think we match up? Do we pound the rock?

Just my opinion, but I think we win if we play them in Neyland and lose if we get them in Columbus.

Giant of College Football is the wrong wording. More like overrated media darling.

They are a top ten all-time program, as are we. Any neutral fan should be jazzed about the prospect of THE Tennessee Volunteers going into the Horseshoe to play Ohio State, let alone fans of the schools themselves. I would have preferred them to come to Neyland, but the Big Orange playing on that field for the first time in history (only the second time that the two will have played at all), with what’s at stake? That’s friggin awesome, man. Don’t get me started on the marching bands, either.

These are the type of teams the Vols will have to beat, if they are ever going to be a serious championship contender. Unlike spoil little rich teams such as Bama, the Vols will have to travel down a much rougher and harder path to reach the promised land.

The real Ohio State will show up in Columbus.
The one that beat Indiana.

Heupel needs to get a fast start if we have a chance at winning there in Columbus.
Ohio State has the most talented roster in college football.
There’s no pressure of the Michigan game. They’ll want to prove themselves against the SEC

I don’t think it’s the team that makes Vol fan nervous, but rather playing on the road.

Fortunately, we’ve got a gritty bunch of dogs. Protect the QB and we win by double digits

Well, we usually beat Michigan who beat OSU every year so we should have the advantage if the refs don't take it away from us.

We should just borrow the Michigan Helmets & they'll start spazzing. LOL.

Ohio State ranks 3rd in all time college football programs, we rank 14th.
Take out Princeton, Yale, Harvard, and North Dakota State that are ranked above us that had their glory days at the turn of last century and we're sitting at 10th. We lost 15 years due to irrelevance but looks like we caught our second wind now.
Go Vols

We matchup well with Ohio State. They have good receivers but we have good defensive backs. Their o-line is banged up. Stop the run and get after Howard.

Nico’s going to have to play well and we’re going to have to hit some big plays down the field.

If Tennessee’s defensive line can wreak havoc and we can limit turnovers, I think the Vols win by 7-10. Ryan Day is so smug and I can’t wait for Tim Banks to out coach Chip Kelly. 31-21 Vols and we’re going to the Rose Bowl.

Sure but forgive me if I'm not awed to be in their presence just because they've beat up on a weak conference for 50+years. I want to play them to beat them, not just be on the same field as them.
