ESPN likes Arky State's chances

it's a piece of a blog where they're forced to pick an upset special. It's not from anyone reputable taking an objective look at the game

Speculation. All other questions aside, we will torch their secondary. 28 games in 3 seasons against the likes of the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions and Sun Belt level talent? Allow me to put this in perspective: Saturday September 21, 2013, the Arkansas State Red Wolves lost to the Memphis Tigers 31-7. How much better will they be this year exactly?

Yeah, they like Western Kentucky's chances too. I think we all remember how that turned out.

Until we get back to looking like Tennessee football again, I kinda like everybody's chances against us.

This is good news! Because I've seen them predict us at 4-8 with losses to Utah State, Mizzou, Vandy, and now Ark State. So that means our 4 wins could be Bama, UF, UGA, and South Carolina!!!! I'll take a 4-8 season if it's those 4!



But seriously....these folks at ESPN are dumb.

Arky St. also had Gus Malzahn as a coach then, and doesn't now, FWIW. System changes can make or break a program.

From ESPN

The Vols could be in for real trouble with this one. Butch Jones isn’t doing himself any favors bringing in a program that’s won 28 games over the past three seasons. And considering the fact that Tennessee doesn’t return a single starter on the offensive or defensive line, doesn’t have an established quarterback and will be coming off a tough season-opener against a Utah State team that won nine games a season ago, it’s a safe bet that Arkansas State will be getting everyone’s full attention.

What do you think?

I think they also picked Western Kentucky last year and it's trendy to pick against Tennessee right now...and I've never been one of these "ESPN hates us" people (although Lou Holtz clearly does) but it's safe to say they don't respect us and it will take a lot wins to change that.

They should have an article about how BAMER is going to be on a 3 game LOSING streak after week 1 of the season.

Granny Holtz never forgave Tennessee for signing Albert Haynesworth or beating Notre Dame in 1991.

I don't know how you could refute any of his points, there's nothing inaccurate about them.

Very true it's hard to refute any of his points. You can never predict how players will develop overtime. They surely can such like heck or they can develop to be dependable. The ball can go either way so until I see which way they go I will stay neutral.
