"But the 5Dimes overall regular season win over/under total isn’t as favorable for the Vols at seven. That still would be a step forward and the best regular season since 2009 for Tennessee, but would likely fall a touch under the expectations of many fans and some other pundits and sportsbooks."

My thoughts on Arkansas is that it will take a really hard fought emotional game to win and it may be hard for a young team to
Come off what could be such an emotional win in the swamp and get back up.

I see it being a 4 QTR Classic.

And watch for JRM to show off in the Arky game. That'll be fun to watch him behind a big D-line.

You think we run the more conventional 4-3 against Arkansas as opposed to our Nickel?

Without much of a passing threat, and a stout run game, I would think we would want bigger bodies on the field.

Play Maggitt at OLB, and put another big body in there at DE.

Also would like to see a lot of McNeil at SS, bringing him down in the box to thump those arky backs.

Fail a drug test?

Most definitely

Not sure. ESPN article was titled "Chiefs cut troubled WR". It's sad how much talent he's squandering.

Possibly what we saw against Iowa.

Just spent the last two days on campus. As a parent I am blown away by the effort they put into the orientation and they all the tools they have to make my son a success. Love this university. Go Vols!

Who's your kid and what is he being recruited for?

 

[whitw]

Oh good job. Lol

Is it you that works in this field (exercise science) or am I thinking of another member?

 

[whitw]

Prestigious student IMO. Could be a 5* DT. Possibly both.

I know. Congrats to his child regardless.

Vols open as 3-point favorites over Oklahoma, 4-point favorites over Florida and 1.5-point favorites over Arkansas.

And. Here. We. Go!

No, damn it. I don't want all these expectations being put on this team.

 

[85SugarVol]

No, damn it. I don't want all these expectations being put on this team.

Get used to it.

 

[jspvol76]

Get used to it.

Yep, expectations are a good thing.

 

[whitw]

No, damn it. I don't want all these expectations being put on this team.

It's time to forget the "we might suck" mentality and embrace the "we may be really good" attitude.

Please don't take that as a shot at you KV. I just think it's our time to be the hunted again.

 

[rocktopper16]

Finals are about to be over... Which is great because Football talk will heat up.

I do sir.

Possibly what we saw against Iowa.

Yeah it will be the same thing except more talent up front and stronger players. Plus a better MLB than Bynum.

lol. I talked to Butch he liked my measurables but alas he has no need for a 47 year old fullback. Dang Debord, who doesn't need a fullback geez.

Prefer to attack
The SEC can run, the SEC can hide, but the Vols are much faster now. They are getting faster and stronger everyday. It is payback time.

And I can't wait!!! Years of frustration and taking our licks from rival fans will be released! I've already been able to do it to my wife's family 2 years in a row, as they are USCe fans. Felt real good.

In regards to the Kansas DT Alexis Johnson:


@Volquest_Paul: If Johnson follows through with his commitment and signs with UT he would be 10th 4-star defensive lineman in 3 years. Still room for more.

The only thing that worries me about Arkansas is their big hogs. We really need Owen Williams to get to another level this year and Saulsberry to stay healthy. Hopefully the Freshmen get a lot of playing time before and live up to their hype. Thats going to be a nasty battle in the trenches.
