Honestly, with how our offense has been playing under Dobbs, I have to look for reasons we could lose instead of reasons we might win. I expect to win instead of hope to.

SEC Nation being on campus today is awesome. I love all this love we are getting and all the attention on the Vols. Finally we are getting back to where we belong. Thank you Coach Jones for all you have done. GO VOLS

Finebaum saying we'll be in Atlanta in 2 years. It's weird to hear him talk good about us.

Butch was money in his interview. He exudes confidence and success. I'm so proud to have him as our coach.

Seriously?? You live an hour away and won't be there tonight?? Shame on you! Get out of the stand, shower, go to uttix.com and buy tickets, and get your butt to Neyland to support this team. Deer season lasts longer than one day.

Side note: my bro-in-law and I usually stay at the Wyndham timeshare in Crossville for game weekends. Not this weekend though, as he couldn't come. Now, get out of the stand and get to Knoxville!

No I don't live 1hr away. I actually live 20 min away. This is a family deal. My daughter, (student) and my son, (future student ) will represent in student section.

Keys to the game:

1. We need to win on 1st down on offense. We've been able to do that at an extremely high rate in the last 2 games. Succeeding on 1st down, will open the playbook up so much. When it's 2nd and 4 or even 2nd and 6, the playbook is wide open.

2. Kerby and Gilliam need to hold up. Ray and Golden will probably get 2-3 sacks. Hurd and Wolf will be extremely important in the pass game. Chipping and and helping out the tackles will go a long way for Dobbs.

3. On defense, I think the 4 true freshman starting on defense need to lineup right and execute accordingly. Big game for TK and JJ. TK hasn't really played significant minutes since the Oklahoma game. And this is JJ's first start as a Vol. I wish it would have came under different circumstances, but it is what it is.

4. Mizzou likes to go 4 wide a lot. VQ has hinted that our 4 CBs would be: Cam, Moseley, Coleman, and either Foreman/Gaulden. Should be an interesting matchup.

5. Mizzou thrives off TO's. Don't make mental mistakes. Can't afford to turn the ball over and give them momentum. Also need to win ST's. Medley needs to strike the ball good and our kickoff coverage needs to be on point.

I'm torn on this game. I've went back and forth on this one. Dobbs needs to continue to build off each game. He lost 31-3 last year to the Tigers. The Vols have so much momentum right now (even with the 45 and 24 situation).

I'll be on my feet for every single one of the seniors when they get honored. The Vols are hungry and we are better than last year.

I'll roll with Dobbs until he proves me wrong. Go Vols and S/O to the seniors!

UT- 31
Mizzou- 23

Damn, I'm not feeling it right now for this game. I hope you guys are and the Vols are hyped to destroy MO. Just something about the MO team that pi$$es me off. Hope the Vols make the last game in Neyland this year a great one and run them out of the stadium. Should probably go hang out with my friend whiskey to calm the nerves....

Wharton went through warm ups with the second team offense at flanker. He's not played outside receiver all season, but him and Croom will get North's snaps tonight.

Anyone else think Mizzou comes out hot? An 8-2 team as a dog to a 5-5 team in the SEC. If we can survive an initial surge, we win.

If we win this game, what was the main cause?

My two most important keys would be not turning the ball over and keeping the pass rush out of our backfield as much as possible. We do that and I feel like we cruise.

Edit: Obviously awesomeness as well

I agree with this. If we can win the turnover battle, we will win
