They may be too big, which may give our D-line an athletic advantage when rushing the quarterback and getting to the ball in the run game.

The offensive starters for Tennessee have a combined weight of 2876 pounds. The defensive starters for Oklahoma have a combined weight of 2714 pounds. The offensive starters for Oklahoma have a combined weight of 2895#. The defensive starters for Tennessee have a combined weight of 2601 pounds. So our offense outweighs their defense by 162 pounds. Their offense outweighs our defense by 294 pounds. Wonder if quickness will come into play? Go, Vols!

Hey Fellers this is Steve.......well I heard we missed on the Richmond kid so I guess our recruitin' is starting to fall apart a bit. Brent I know you just named every prospect in the entire SE region and it looks like we're out on all of them but can you just give me one or two names of players in Georgia that we may possibly have a chance at? Well I was hopeing things were getting better but there not. Well that's all I got maybe we get somehow score against Oklahoma this weekend but I don't feel good about it. Oh sorry wrong show..........

Won't matter. Jancek is a fool if he goes to OK thinking we have a shot playing 3 and 4 down the whole game. We have 5 DTs, 5. You can't run 4-3 fronts all game. One of the benefits of having Crohn's disease is when you get in the middle of a flare up and miss a semester of school you get to watch lots of football. I went over the UT games multiple times. Against Utah State we ran 2 down fronts. We blitzed Weatherd up the middle a ton, and we used our quickness to our advantage. I expect to see 2, 3, and 4 down fronts. I expect us to run under, over, even, and bear fronts. We will bring the pressure. AJ will play every down, so will Cam. For us to be in the game come 4th quarter it'll take three big things.

1. Offense has to sustain some 4-6 minute drives and score off those drives, even if it's a FG.
2. Maggit, Weatherd, Veeren, L. Lewis, JRM, AJ, J.Williams, O. Williams, and O'Brien have to have at least 3 sacks, 7-8 rush the passers, and 6-7 TFL combined for the entire game.
3. We have to contain the run on defense. If OK runs on us easily it'll be over by half time just like the Oregon game last year. Our defense will have to play aggressive and mistake free for us to be in the game by the fourth quarter. We will have to get some 3 and outs and stay off the field as much as possible.

In the end, I believe special teams, no offensive run game leading to multiple 3 and outs, Worley forcing the issue because of the lack of a run game leading to turnovers, and no d-line depth is going to be just to much for us to over come. I'll be watching and cheering the whole way, but I've set my expectation meter on very low for this game.

It blows my mind that with that OL, people around here think Tennessee can score an offensive TD on Oklahoma. Oh well, more money for me.

Paging Dr. Negavol. I hope you really did put your money where your mouth is. This team will keep it close and has a chance to pull off the upset.

Sincerely,

How is he NegaVol? He raises a good point. We went 3 and out on our opening drives for both games (so far) this season. Had way to many 3rd and LONG situations to overcome because of our lack of run game.

The running game looks HORRIBLE right now.. we really have to play a perfect game and then some for a chance to beat OK. I'm all VOL, but I'm realistic too.

Let's hope for a few defensive TD's, that would be the game changer we'll have to have for a WIN.

I think you're underestimating us a bit and overestimating them a lot.

I hope you are right. I hate Stoops, but I just think OK has to much speed and depth for us. As my Dad always told me when I was a teenager, we are just to young, dumb, and full of...well you know:). I hope I'm wrong, and I'd love nothing more then to be, but from what I've seen of OK I'm afraid I'm not going to be.

Wow, I figure all we have to do is score more points than them...

All kidding aside, nice write up.......but...

There are other ways to make it a game though. Did you see USC get manhandled last weekend at Stanford for four quarters only to win? Not saying we are going to win, but things do happen.

At some point we will get a few bounces to go our way. We have been largely without them for the better part of the last 6 years. I am looking forward to the game, will be a good measuring stick before we get into SEC play. GO VOLS.
