Could Tennessee beat Bama by 2 touchdowns?

[Big Al Orange]

I thought the LSU game would be an ugly fight. Boy was I wrong. With that said, for the first time in my life my husband and I both will be taking cigars with us to Knoxville next weekend. Do I think we win, no idea. But after years of misery, I have hope, and think we have a chance. GBO, beat Alabama?

It’s the hard work our players and coaches have put in to make this game exciting again. As long as everybody gives their all for Tennessee like yesterday, then win or lose I won’t have one bad thing to say.

I dont know but i took tn +8 for $100.....i hope they win. Im saying by 7. Id be giddy if they win by 14

Bama has more to loose in this game than we do.We can loose this game and still play for the Naty.Although I do believe we will win this one because our boys want it more.

I'm ok with loosening the game as long as we don't lose it.

If anyone gets blown out it will be us. We have slowly closed the gap with Ala but we're not there yet. I don't trust our Defense to stop Gibbs and Young. If Young doesn't play it helps us but no way in hell we beat them by 14+.

Good points, but I am not so sure Bama can stop us right now. We might see a triple digit combination score.

Our DBs will be the tale of the game

Still the weakest link but much improved from 2 weeks ago before the bye. If we can stop the run and pressure the QB they can hold their own.

bammer probably opens at 5 pt fave.

 

[Volnuck]

If we do then I’m going streaking on the Quad

What happened in the 70’s should stay in the 70’s, lololol.

 

[BanditVol]

Hurt? Nothing. I just think it's a bit nuts.

I think it's crazy just thinking about winning at all, let alone by two touchdowns. Doesn't mean I'm not hopeful.

If Bryce is out, we may well whip them soundly. They barely beat a mediocre Tamu in Tusckalooser.

But why not have low expectations? It makes the win that much more satisfying.

I think Tennessee takes a big lead over Alabama and barely holds off Alabama winning 37-35.

If Bryce plays, they can match score for score with UT's d.

Stating the obvious, but turnovers will be huge...and Vols have to capitalize if they force one or two.

If our line can't get pressure, it's going to be tough. It's doable though.

 

[UTK]

If they play their backup QB, very realistic possibility.

We will be favored at home. Beat Bama at all costs. Do t care about UGA

We are 8 point dogs at this moment!!!

 

[jarnol32]

You were ready to shut the program down a month or two ago. Kudos for unpredictability.

Bi-polar disorder is real…

 

[MountainDooley]

Tennessee won’t just play against Bama next week. We will be playing against Bama and the officials, unfortunately.

 

[DC_Vol]

There’s a real possibility it may not be that close of a game provided we keep rolling as we are . Put me down Vols by two tds.

I have my doubts, but for the first time in years I’m actually going to have a cigar ready (just in case).

 

[sechamp2012]

Every game takes on its own identity. LSU game IMO was identified by the first kickoff recovery and almost every thing went our way to a point. We fumble but recover our own. So I feel the first quarter will define this game’s momentum. Will be fun to watch it play out. GBO.

 

[theFallGuy]

We are winning by fiddy points. Beeleeeeve dat

 

[chuck0303]

Without Bryce Young, yes. But Bryce will be back next week. No way he's not.

I think Young will be back too but a few good, clean sacks might change that. Question is can we get a good pass rush on him before he gets rid of the ball? Going to have much bigger Bama guys to go through than LSU to get to him. Keep him boxed up, don't let him get outside the tackles.

Nope. 8 1/2 pts underdog so far.

 

[Powder and shot]

Im with you brother!

 

[Jdw2920]

Without Bryce Young, yes. But Bryce will be back next week. No way he's not.

We just need to drive him into the ground and land on that shoulder a few times. Change the whole outlook.

Maybe he'll slip in practice and pull his hamstring

Do you realize what you just said Beat Bama I don't care about UGA umm. Let me explain this IF we beat Bama then that means UGA becomes extremely huge. That game would mean more than just a win it would mean a trip to Atlanta and if things went our way a trip to the playoffs. We beat Bama on Saturday cont. to play like we have things that have been a pipe dream have a chance of becoming reality. If Tennessee is going to be Tennessee again everyone will have to matter the same and this year very soon that we may be in that position.

If our defense plays anything like it did against LSU (sacking and rushing the QB, goal line stands) there is no doubt we will win.
