This week, Tennessee follows up it's thorough trouncing of the Virginia Hoos (apparently) with a lay-up vs. Austin Peay from the great Metropolis of Clarksville, TN. Ironic and tragic, this will be the second week in a row with a focus on the death of a player(s) from the opposing team as Austin Peay freshman Jeremiah Collins just died in a single car accident in Clarksville. I presume the game will go on as planned, but you never know.
Keys to Victory:
1. Fine Tune: Tennessee played well enough to never be threatened by Virginia last week, but left enough meat on the bone to improve upon. Amongst the areas of development I would like to see this week:
A. Milton continuing to improve the speed of the offense.
B. Milton getting out of a rut quicker. We hit a three drive speed bump vs Virginia.
C. Incorporating Thornton more into the offense.
D. Bombs... many of them... just to get timing down pat under the lights.
E. Consistency in the punting game.
2. Victory is Certain: We will win, so what type of performance would be considered a great performance given the opponent?
A. Two punts or less (consistently long, naturally)
B. 4 Runs over 40 yards. This may be hard as Dee will give us short fields if he gets hold of the punts.
C. 1 Punt Return for a TD
D. 0 Turnovers
E. 2.0 YPC for Austin Peay
F. 4+ Sacks
G. Minimal Injuries
H. 1.75 quarters with minimal starters in the game
Prediction: Naming the score is tough, because we don't know how long the starters will play. I think they get a single drive to open the third quarter and the back-ups have decent success, but not at the break neck speed of the first team. Vols lead by 35 at the half, and end it at...
TN 55
AP 3
