This is the best case scenario for Tennessee imo, we get to play a ranked opponent who made it to their conference Championship game, we were looking at playing unranked Clemson or North Carolina, this is a very winnable game with more clout associated with a win, we win and were 9-4 and ranked coming into next year, possibly the only scenario where that happens.

1000 percent agree !!!

We win and it's a win against a Power 5 runner up (yeah yeah, Penn St and OSU are likely better, but that's not how this works).

Walk away 9-4 which is a solid season for a 3rd year coach inheriting what CJH took over and sets up to land a solid recruiting class and pull some portal help by ending up ranked and on an upward trajectory.

Vandy got 2 meaningless garbage TDs at the end of a blowout game, one after we fumbled a punt inside our own 10. Context matters.

Iowa won its last 2 regular season games to Illinois and Nebraska, two 5-7 teams in the Big 10 West, by a combined 5 points.

Iowa played 2, yes TWO, ranked teams all season and didn’t score a point against either, losing 31-0 to Penn State and 26-0 to Michigan. They went AN ENTIRE SEASON WITHOUT SCORING A SINGLE POINT AGAINST A RANKED OPPONENT. Has Tennessee ever done that? They also lost to 5-7 Minnesota. They played a mid-major schedule in what amounts to a mid-major division.

In the Penn State game, Iowa ran a mere 33 offensive plays, during which:
17 were runs, totalling 20 yards. Of the 16 passes, only 6 were completed. They fumbled SIX times, losing possession 4 times, and
the Iowa defense was on the field for almost 46 of the game's 60 minutes.

But yeah, we should be scared of Iowa.

My guy.

Who said anything about being scared?

I said any team with a good defense has a legitimate chance to win

the Vols are facing a team that can afford their offense the opportunity to go through long stretches without scoring.

Not a good matchup for the Vols. Any offense will score on our defense and our run game is going to struggle. If Milton plays we could lose.

So, who in your deep knowledge of TN quarterbacks gives us the guarantee of winning?

In before "meaningless bowl game". I don't blame player X for quitting on his team the last game of the season.

Wow what a witty retort. Is that your response when you find yourself at an intellectual disadvantage? Assume you must use it often.

I checked your post history.

Literally all you do is go around the forum calling people stupid.

Get a life lmao, Imagine being a 50 year old internet troll

Stop the run and it's over. Traditionally Iowa wants the big 400 lb-ers to just move the blockers so the backs can run. Get a couple of scores on the board and they struggle to catch up. Will be interesting to see if their D can catch our receivers (provided they actually catch the ball); same with our backs, one juke & they're gone.
I guess boring is good if we win. Haven't we beaten Iowa a bazillion times?

Once recently. Blowout. Last meetings were split in the 1980s iirc. Ferentz can coach and this ain't 2022, so our hands are full.

Citrus is better than I expected but anybody other than iowa. We should have this wrapped up by the end of the first quarter. They have zero offense as stated and their defense is overrated. They haven't faced a decent offense (Michigan and Penn don't have good offenses) so the numbers are skewed. Take the over and UT to cover

Milton's going to start this game, whether or not you think he should. He's then going to go make enough money in the NFL to build his own chain of carwashes.

Check back in on 1/1/24.

Oh LAWD. Nope. No way Milton gets drafted to the NFL. I already argued this with another fool. He's like the 15th or 16th rated QB in college. People get so hung up on he is huge and has a cannon for an arm but he ain't got the brains or the mobility which are the only 2 things that matter to NFL teams.

Josh Dobbs is 2x the QB that Milton is and Dobbs has barely hung on to a job in the NFL for years now. Nope no way. I'm calling it now Milton works at Sabans used car lot.
