[xpsyclonex2002]

does anyone know what the most points we've ever been given as underdogs is?

Not sure but I heard someone on the radio guess 2009 Alabama under Kiffin, which was said to be around 29 points.

I'm not sure on most points for an underdog, but Tennessee is 4-14-2 against the spread in its last 20 games as an underdog.

Quote from: Jim Boofer

Vols Have Nowhere To Go But Up | WDEF News 12 | News, Weather and Sports for Chattanooga and the Tennessee Valley

"Tennessee is a 28 point underdog Saturday, the largest point spread ever for a Tennessee football game with the odds makers giving the nod to the defending national champions from Gainesville.
The only time that I can recall that a Volunteer team was a 20 or more point underdog was in 2001, again it was the Gators who were favored. Funny thing happened though, the Vols ran all over the Gator defense in route to a 34-32 victory that put the Vols in the SEC championship game."

Lol one way to put it.

I know we beat Spurrier in his last game at the Swamp as an 18 pt. dog.

 

[IBleedOrange]

I remember UT getting 31 at Alabama in 2011 and Alabama covered if I'm not mistaken

I posted this in a similar type thread but I am wondering if the 18 point spread against FL in 2001 was our biggest upset game we ever won..or was the 86 Sugar Bowl a larger spread..Anyone know?

 

[ETNVol]

Ainge said the current spread is up to 29.5 for Saturday.

That was an absurd spread in that FLA game. That was an uber talented UT team.

 

[govols120]

'09 UF-UT was 30 points at the time of kick, I think. Or maybe it was 30 the day before, I'm not sure.

 

[crusse10]

I thought it had to have been the 09 Florida game, solely because of all the chirping

Good thing that's meaningless now.
