Weird......like your avatar and name selection. Literally (and I mean 4 mins ago) bought my tickets to see Mark Tremonti (from Creed) do a Frank rendition this Satruday down here in Orlando. Got some old band members of Franks as well......should be excellent.

I would be very confident if this was a neutral site game, as all playoff games should be. Josh
Heupel has shown he knows how to prepare a team to play whip butt football in a bowl game.
His confidence will inspire this team to post a 31-16 type win over OSU

Colin Cowherd Rattles Off Reasons Why Tennessee is a 'Bad Matchup' For Ohio State | Rocky Top Insider

FOX Sports analysts Colin Cowherd and Joel Klatt rattled off reasons why they believe Tennessee is a "bad matchup" for Ohio State.

While speaking with Joel Klatt on Tuesday’s episode of The Herd on FOX Sports, Cowherd rattled off reasons as to why he believes Tennessee is a “bad matchup” for the Ohio State Buckeyes in the first round of the College Football Playoffs.

“People want to talk about games here, so let’s talk about this,” Cowherd said on the show. “Ohio State’s at home as a favorite. They’re wobbling. Their O-Line is a bit of a mess and Tennessee’s defensive front is stout… Ohio State, to me, it’s going to be lousy weather. That hurts their great wide-receiving core. It’s going to be 38 (degrees), cold, and wet. That’s a bad matchup for the Buckeyes, Joel. You’ve seen a lot of Ohio State. I don’t like that game for Ohio State, do you?”

Klatt “completely” agreed with Cowherd’s takes on this being a bad matchup for the Buckeyes.

Dsamp has to have good game, no fumbles, few penalties and no big plays from their Wr’s and we have good chance. It would also help if Nico could hit some deep passes

Based on our track record from this season, I predict we will have zero points at halftime.

But, we appear to be fairly matched teams,

I will go with OSU 17 Vols 16

Still my biggest lament about the Georgia game. We respected Beck far too much. I would rather have brought the house a time or three and seen whether he could identify what that left open before he was on his backside.

Banks and Heupel thought we could get to Beck only rushing four.
They talked about that being one of the biggest keys to our season.
And while our very good and very deep dline has been great against the run, we haven’t had as many sacks or hurries as we’d like.
(Now some would say that a big reason for that is that we are being held a lot and not getting enough/very few holding whistles).

I think Michigan game was a fluke. Howard won't play that badly again and osu is gonna by crazy hyped for this. We'll see the best osu has got.....and possibly (hope not) the worst we've got under the pressure. I don't feel good about this game. Again, I hope I'm wrong. Then again I thought for sure Iowa was gonna pour it on and beat the ladies at the end so. I still suffer from serious BVS so...Go Vols.

Yeah, you’d think with the depth and insane rotation that Garner has put together we’d be seeing more pressure even against the better offensive lines. I just think if I wasn’t getting there consistently I’d probably gamble a little more. But that’s why Banks makes $1.5M a year and I’m a guy on a message board 😂 there’s no argument at all but that the defense has gotten better every year.

DSamp should be walking around campus this week with a football and Vol staff member intern.
Occasionally, the staff member should try to slap or pull the ball from him. lol 😆

Let's be realistic here....There is no reality where the powers that be in college football allow UT to beat Ohio State in Columbus in the first round of the playoffs. It doesn't fit their narrative. Be ready for about 100-120 yards in penalties called against the Vols. I see at least 1 big score called back on us at the most inopportune time to shift momentum. We'll be playing 11 against 18 all night long.

Unfortunately, I see the Vols lose a close one 27-24.

I think this is unfortunately true. They didn't go out of their way to put them at home for nothing. Refs will be on a mission to force a rematch at the Rose Bowl with all the narratives that go with it. Expect then that they will give Oregon the exact same treatment so the Chosen Ones are in the real playoff (final 4).

Yes he should be on the program where if anyone other than him brings that ball back to Coach, he runs every step in Neyland.
