Both pick UT over Peay by an average of 27 points, far short of some poll that has UT by 50 points

Interesting. UF lost Chaz Green for the season. I had not heard about Halapio either. How long is he out? That game is beginning to look better.

Nb4 people say I wanna beat them full strength..

I don't care if thier entire first string was out and we barely beat them. I would end up with alcohol poison from partying and call my gator friends.

Agreed. Many of the same folks will say that injuries do not cheapen/excuse a Vol loss to someone else. Injuries hit every team and UT has certainly suffered more than their share due to critical injuries over the past several years.

And dismissals. Janzen, Da'rick, & Hunter all come to mind.

Butch won't run up the score on AP but will use it as an opportunity to get young players some game experience. I don't expect a 50 point spread for that reason.

I'm surprised any bookmaker would even take action on that game for the reasons you just mentioned.

Many of the players he needs to perform over the season are young. For that reason, I think the 1st string will remain in the game longer than normal. They need the live reps but need them together with the other starters.
