Anyone who is pretending that this game is this close just because ole butch is not there needs to be checked. All the general offense and defense they have played with as far as scheme is concerned, is still there and in place. No coach in their right mind would change anything for a bowl game, especially against duke. This game is ridiculous and just goes to show why ole butch was plan "E." The acc is god-awful but the big east is just as bad, if not worse and this proves it. Cinci is 9-3 and duke is 6-6. Even if you want to blame it butch not being there, which you should not, there is no way this game should be this close.
And by the way...to he person that said the coach who is cinci's head coach for this game not coming to Tennessee...you are wrong. They have mentioned more than once that he is heading to Tennessee to coach the defensive line with ole butch. Tennessee sure does look to be in great hands!
Oh look, duke just scored to take the lead..surprised I am not.
