Good to hear. I noticed that we typically run 10 to 12 more offensive plays per game than UT.

Perhaps UT is picking up the tempo.

True. We ranked 7th in scoring defense. Missouri wasn't even top 30.

Missouri played stronger teams. However, I wouldn't doubt your LB corps' abilities. You don't hang close to schools like USC, Auburn etc without being good at a certain level. Nor go to a bowl game and whip a supposedly better team without being a team of note yourself.

BTW, can you give your pal ag4fr some lessons on how to conduct himself as a visitor to another team's board? I'm almost beginning to think he's not so much acting the jerk than fishing for bulletin board material to post as motivational reading for the Aggies. Maybe an assistant assigned to do this. On the other hand, if Vols fans insist on continuing to provide him such fodder, well. . . .

Here is a dose of reality for these confident USU fans (all 2 of them).

USU Team Recruiting Rankings from 2011-14 per 247
2011 - #112
2012 - #107
2013 - #107
2014 - #110

They have signed 16 3-stars in these 4 years, and all the rest were 2-stars. Absolutely zero 4 or 5 star players.

UT Recruiting Rankings over same time period: Don't even need to look them up because everybody knows that they are vastly superior to USUs'

I realize that they have played better than these rankings, but fact of the matter is UT has superior talent and it's an opener in Neyland. I get that they came out and surprised Auburn, Wisconsin and USC in the recent past, but they still lost all those games and I feel that all those teams played down to Utah State. I just don't see UT coming out flat or unprepared in this opener with all the hype surrounding this past recruiting class and in Butch's program in general. I'm not scared at all is what I'm trying to say.

The Nazis had a superior military, superior trained soldiers, superior tanks, aircraft, troop carriers, and tactics. Admittedly undermined by Hitler's constant interference and overruling his generals, but superior all the same. They were beaten by their opponents' tenacity and frequent cases of pure dumb luck in the form of the timing of weather phenomenon and blunders that should have doomed missions time and again but didn't.

Point? Superiority is not a guarantee of victory.

Did I guarantee victory? No. I just said that we have more talent and we get to play them in a home opener. For those reasons, I am not scared of losing to them. I know that it is fully possible for Utah State to leave Neyland with a win, I'm just saying I think it is highly unlikely.

Edit: Also, the nazis had a superiority complex, but to say they had a superior military to everyone else is debatable.

I didn't say you were scared. I didn't even say you guaranteed victory. I REMINDED you superiority doesn't equal victory. No need to get your dander up, bub. My overall message is to never underestimate your opponent. I too think we win but we had better come out treating USU the same way we'd do Florida. Or in other words, not come out flat. Blood in the eyes, murderous intent, and mayhem madness. An, "Oh, it's just USU" can easily get our arses kicked. Cool off a bit, eh?

Not heated at all my man, and I apologize if my remark came off sounding like that. I agree that a 'it's just Utah State' type mentality is dangerous. I just don't see this team making that mistake in this scenario. We have to much to prove.

Hearing that loud and clear. Wouldn't surprise me if the entire team came out breathing liquid fire and solid smoke.

You all are atill arguing with these guys?

"UT isn't good blah blah blah, can't win in the SEC blah blah."

But then proceeds to say that USU will likely lose the game.

Worst. Trolls. Ever.

What kind of bet is there to be had from a troll who will tuck tail and run by halftime? You empty and hollow little man spewing your BS should scurry back to that hole in the wall that you call a forum and be a legend in your little village telling your tells of what it's like to live in the big times. As down as we are, we are the big times compared to your sorry mid-level asses. We are everything even in this low spot that your sorry assed program could hope to ever be. I say these things knowing that Freak may reprimand me for it but I know down deep, he feels the same.

Tennessee isn't facing the entire Sunbelt at one time. Germany was beaten by overwhelming numbers. If it were Germany vs one country at a time the outcome would have been certain just as was the case with France and Poland. This is one team vs one team.

I'd bet season tickets to either program.

Although, not sure what I'm going to do with Utah State season tickets : /

Btw for the USU fans. This is what we had coaching us during the years you wanna keep bringing up over and over.

The amount of nfl talent on that team alone shows coaching was bad.

SIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did I not say that a major part of the problem was Hitler's interference and overruling his generals? Did I not say that? They advised him it would be a grave error to invade Russia, abd especially at that stage of the war. he decided not to listen and the rest is history. He simply kept overreaching until the accumulation of forces arrayed against him was overwhelming.

And where the hell does Tenn. taking on the whole Sunbelt appear in my post?
