USCjr 21 Oklahoma 0 9:30 left in 1st qrtr. Jackson Arnold coming in.

So we still don’t have a decent win.

OU’s injury situation is basically dire at this point.

Got my cigar. Got my beer. Got my whiskey. Let’s freaking do this.

South Carolina whipping Okl - 21-0. Vols offense has been below average vs SEC. JUST WOW.

To be fair, nearly all of those points have been off turnovers for TDs (so South Carolina's defense).

I think South Carolina has less than 100 yards of offense.

That’s solid work.

I don't have much confidence we win today, but more than anything I really want to see this offense start taking steps. It's gonna be the difference in whether we have a legit shot of coming out on top. This will be the best offense we've played so far and they are gonna score more than OU, Arky, and UF did. I think we need at least mid 30's to win.

We scored 23 in the last half of football we played. We have only lost 1 home game in the last 3 seasons. That gives me confidence.

I fully expect us to lose this game but if we win I’m going to clown down here in Alabubba land! GBO!!!!

Same here. My son is driving up from B'ham, he's pumped. He may be an Auburn grad, but he was born in UT hospital and is a rabid Bama hater so I'll be in good company for this win!

 

[FlVols]

Let’s Freakin GO VOLS! Whip the Tide!!

Time to be positive Volnation. Shake off the BVS. We're winning this game at home.

 

[just bob]

I have a really, really bad feeling that Alabama will complete a lot of deep passes.

Vols offense didn’t fair well vs Arky or Fla.

we technically only scored 17 in the last half. But nonetheless, we have to be way better on offense to win today. If we go scoreless again in the first half like we did the last 2 games, this game will be ugly.

 

[RockyTop140]

I fear an embarrassing loss. Hoping it’s just BVS. Need the OL and Nico to step up today BIG TIME. Is it even possible for a QB to improve as much as we need Nico to improve in one game against a team like Alabama?

Our path to win this one will not be a high scoring game. We have gotta bottle Milroe up, cause some turnovers, and do just enough on offense to win. I’m thinking 21-28 points gives us a chance

Technically it was 17 pts. The last 7 was in overtime.

 

[bpalmer28]

This is what I needed to see. They aren’t mentally prepared to win this game! We have the competitive advantage.

Agree or perhaps Nico actually becomes the Nico people expect and our offense really clicks. I think it may one day happen but when is the question.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

We just don’t have the o line to win this game. And Pili is a huge loss for this game especially.
