Vols open as 9pt dogs to Alabama

If our passing game had showed a pulse against A&M, I’d be much more confident. If our offense was even close to what it was last year we have a SEC championship contender team. Here’s to hoping we get the offense figured out

I'm expecting to win outright. I do worry about the Florida effect though. The good news is we have Cooper Mays. The bad news is no Bru McCoy. It would be nice to have Pili too but it sounds like he is weeks away.

It all depends on our passing game…if we can find one.

This is honestly a game where I don’t know what to think. Bama is beatable this year, no doubt, if this game was in Neyland I’d feel a little more confident.

But there are too many questions on both teams to feel comfortable with any real prediction.

Vegas knows Bama’s defense is the best one we will have seen to date and we don’t have a serious passing game. Bama will stack the box and be more than happy to try and make Joe beat them throwing.

The Aggies have just as good as D as Bama, maybe more talented overall. If anything we got a preview yesterday of the type of D we will face at Bama. By the way we got a D that has plans to do the same to them. GBO

Hehe, I love these gambling threads. Then I think @ all the testosterone fueled decisions about sure winners that end up in those horrific discussions with the wife that begin with the words "Honey, I need to talk to you about something". 😳🤣🤦

We've had one road game. And, it was an abject disaster. Yeah, Neyland would be much desired. But, here's to hoping we know how to operate an offense properly using hand signals. 0-1 so far.

Oh yeah, I hope our front 5/6 force Milroe into massive mistakes and wear him out.

It has a lot to do with home field advantage. Just like South Carolina mauled us in Columbia last year and we returned the favor in Knoxville this year. There's a revenge factor involved too. It will be interesting to see if the line increases or decreases this week.

We'll need that. Just can't pin ears back like v Johnson. Will have to be disciplined to contain and force him to throw into coverage under duress. Letting him run free will be a bad choice.

Our play calling has been bizarre this season...I figured we would start up where we left off last season but no this is way different than last year...Milton being touted with his monsterous arm and we have hardly seen any of it this year...This just doesn't look like a Heupal offense.
