My question is how will everyone feel if they cover the spread with all this we r has good kool aid.

Who to blame the coaches no they r dools recruits..

Its funny we need better recruits because these r fools but oh wait we r good enough to win or at a min get a moral victory.

They are bigger, faster, stronger, more talented, and are at home. They are the two time National Champions. They have the advantage at the most important position-QB. Defensively, they are flat out nasty. We have the advantage on the offensive line, and we break even at running back, and the kicking game. Alabama will place this game square on the shoulders of Worley. They will press our receivers in man to man coverage, and blitz from every angle. They will attempt to limit Neal and Lane. The key for us is to be able to run the football well and for Worley to take shots in the passing game that Alabama gives us. Alabama will show a cover 2 look and at the snap" melt back" and bring pressure. Worley will have to read and throw the underneath flat-curl's and hook curls in the middle. Alabama will give us opportunities over the top in press coverage. We must take some shots and have time to throw it. The key for us defensively is to stop McCarron and the passing game. I see us bringing pressure with our front four only and throwing a lot of different looks with our linebackers and secondary. Momentum is important. This should be a great one. Good luck.

Quit reading after "even at running back"

for us to win - all 3 things must happen- Bama must be looking ahead, WE must play a game without turnovers. Bama must turnover the ball 5-6 times. While this is possible, it is what, one chance in 20? But - it still could happen. I am hoping that we get thru the game w/o key injuries, so we might be able to be Mo and Aub. and should beat Ky and Vandy.

I don't think even it has to be that many turnovers. Sure there has a to be a few but what matters is capitalizing on them when we get turnovers. Watching the USCe game, if we had capitalized on turnovers and had scored more when we had great field position- like the entire first quarter. The game wouldn't have been as close. The offense simply needs to be shaper then against USCe. The defense needs to continue playing at a high level.

Think just a little before posting like this. So Neal has 30+ more carries and leads Yeldon by 30+ yards. Did you happen to also see how many yards both Drake and Henry have? They have combined for 600 yards. So, let's see if Yeldon rushed the ball for 70% of the carries as Neal does here, he'd have about 400+ more yards at this point.

one thing worth noting is Bama hasn't played the defenses of Oregon, USCe, and Florida. fwiw. Bama is superior in the run game but they have also faced inferior defenses at this point

The truth of the matter is that Bama is basically untested this year. We can't say the same thing about UT. We have gotten better with each test too, I might add. This is kind of looking like the perfect storm for us.

Neal would have to walk on at Alabama. I love the guy, but the truth is the truth.

If Bama had the Vols offensive line, Yeldon would probably be leading the nation in rushing.

That's BS...they might not recruit him, but he could play for them.

We only need 3 turnovers, maybe 2

I see that you are pretty dense and reading comprehension is a weak point.

I never said he couldn't play for them, just that he would have to walk on with the talent they have at the position.

Truth is that could be said for all but a handful of RB's starting this weekend for a BCS AQ program.

Just some trivia here:

The last 5 games that CBS has carried between Tennessee vs. Alabama... Tennessee is 3-2!!!

Lets hope for 4-2

Go Vols!
