Please got twelve...enough already....
Ya we have had very close games this year, but so have many good teams including the vols.
BTW my score prediction was just in fun. It will be alot closer than that either way.
i think got twelve is just looking at the strengths and weaknesses of both teams and making an, eh, hem, objective analysis.
bama's secondary hasn't been great, JPW has been inconsistent, and when he is, Darby has struggled cause they've been inconsistent. The d though has been stingy with 17 takeaways vs. 9 turnovers for the offense.
an objective analysis of TN would tell you that our D has had trouble stopping the run, we have been known to give up 3rd and longs on a regular basis, and while our offense has been very good thru the air, we have struggled at times in the ground game. and our special teams have been inconsistent to say the least.
the big difference in this game is the qb. JPW isn't there yet...and ainge is playing about as well as anyone. that is the single biggest advantage for us. and as long as we don't get careless with the ball and turn it over, we should win this game. on the flip side, if we do turn it over and your ground game gets going, that opens up DJ hall...and then it could get interesting.
i think this will be a higher scoring affair than usual to be honest.
