These guys just assume Mizzu will beat us. They've already got the game marked as a "W".

Not to overlook Tennessee, but did you see the Vols on Saturday?

Running back Rajion Neal had a nice afternoon against Alabama, averaging 5.4 yards on 13 carries (70 yards total) with a touchdown, and Marquez North pulled in four balls for 87 yards, but that was about the extent of positives for the Vols in their 45-10 loss in Tuscaloosa.

Quarterback Justin Worley has spurts of above-average play – such as in last week’s win against South Carolina, when he posted an adjusted QBR of 83.9 (scale 0-100) – but he can never seem to sustain it. He was poor against the Tide, going 8-of-15 for 120 yards and two interceptions before coach Butch Jones decided to get freshman Joshua Dobbs’ feet wet in college football.

How is Worley and Tennessee going to do much of anything next week on the road against Michael Sam and Missouri’s defense? This game suddenly doesn’t seem as challenging for Mizzou.

Vols being overlooked?

that almost reads as if Missouri's defense is so much better than Alabama's that if we struggled with Alabama how will we compete with Missouri. That's a bit of a stretch to put those two defenses together

It really makes me sick how our schedule is being used against us.

If we traded Oregon for Tulane and Bama for Miss St, we're 6-2 and the national media is raving about how great of a job CBJ is doing. But instead, we played the two teams that are head and shoulders above everyone else, and that makes us suck.

We beat Mizzou, then we send hate mail...?

Or do we go ahead and flood the author's email?

What's the protocol?

They are just butt monkeys. The last three games the Vols were suppose to be blown out. They gave the pups all they could handle which assisted Mizz. They beat uscjr which sucked for mizz. We all knew the red team was gonna hang it on us but, it was not as bad a score as I thought. So that being siad don't much care what predictions are they can't count for hte heart and will of the players.

if they are going to judge a team based on their performance vs Bama, they have no credibility. Wonder if they would say Ole Miss or Notre Dame are no match for Mizzou?

It's beyond stupid to take that Bama game and act like it is an indictment on the Vols. Bama has done that to everyone other than the team with a paid Heisman winner. People need to research before writing.

FSS lists Teddy Mitrosilis as one of their College Football Analyst yet the guy says,
"Butch Jones decided to get freshman Joshua Dobbs’ feet wet in college football."
but says nothing of Worley's injury. Then he goes on to say,
"How is Worley and Tennessee going to do much of anything next week on the road against Michael Sam and Missouri’s defense?"
as if to say Mizzou's D is comparable to or better than 'Bama's. Are you friggin' kiddin' me??!!?? Apples and oranges, Teddy. And you're a college football analyst??? Clown!
