Speaking of Alabama, Saban just said Arkansas would be the toughest game they would have this year. bulletin board material right there. But let's get LSU first.

 

[ScornedPapaVol]

Big recruiting week obviously. A win @ LSU and were ranked only behind the top three teams in my opinion.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

Hoping for a win, but do you think any of these guys would be impressed with a moral victory of UT only losing by 3, 7 or 10? I think 3 or 7 and the whole nation takes a second look.

 

[ScornedPapaVol]

No.

F that. Let’s beat their ass this year. Bama looks beatable. Defense just has to play the game of their lives. Take care of lsu first.

Agreed.

Depends. I don't know how recruits would view it. . . what if we were up 14-17 the whole game and blew the lead at the end, compared to a close game the entire time that slips away because of depth issues or a game we trailed by 14+ the whole time but almost made a comeback in?

 

[ScornedPapaVol]

bama will be higher than #4

We'll be higher than 6th.

 

[BJWeeks]

Sucks that we will get the 230 cbs game with bama. Really hoping for a night game

No such thing as moral victory. Anything but a win against bama is a disappointment

Here's who is currently expected. Obviously this list will grow dramatically over the next 2 weeks...

2023
Tomarion Parker - pretty sure this is a UV, but we'll need to make a move because he's got 2 more Clemson visits upcoming
Davein Hobbs - huge to get him back for an UV right off the heels of what was obviously a great OV
Arion Carter - like Hobbs, another trip right after the UF game

2024
QB Jake Merklinger - big visit here
DB Omilio Agard

2025
Edge Zion Grady - 5-star

I gave you a like just for properly referring to Baton Rouge as its French name.

As long is it is a close enough game for our fans to impress for 4 quarters.

 

[vol_in_ga]

It will be #1 vs #7 and it will be loud as hell

If we only move up one spot for beating LSU on the road, then I will be shocked. I think if we win down there that Alabama @ Tennessee is a top 5 matchup....

line em up at midnight, just win baby!

I don’t disagree with you, just don’t see the polls bumping us that much. Either way bama will be #1. IF we beat them, expect chaos to ensue. Not saying I think it will happen, and not that the following should happen if we do indeed win, but I wouldn’t be surprised by a stormed field in that scenario. But until it happens, it’s just a dream.

 

[vol_in_ga]

Chandavian Bradley will be there

Sounds like rat poison to me.

 

[Volfan1000]

CBS will be back in town for a 3:30 kickoff.

When was the last time Tennessee appeared on CBS twice in a season?
