Okay, not a ton to go off of with The Mocs, but I found a little.
-Not much data on the Vols QB. Dual threat with one start last year, winning the MVP in the Citrus Bowl. I suspect UT is keeping the fast tempo offense, which was the 2nd fastest (plays per minute) in the country. It's going to be important for our Offense to string together a few decent drives to give our defense a rest. 3 & outs is going to be a killer for us if we can't maintain the ball.
-i just hope the Mocs play well enough to keep the score respectable. I was there the last time during Rusty 's first season and it was a complete **** show.
-It’s simple, keep it respectable, collect the paycheck, and get out without injuries.
-These openers are what they are, they have no direct implications on the rest of the season.
-Tennessee is on the rise in the SEC, they can name the score, but we have to keep it respectable.
-Anyone feeling a week one upset? Georgia State did it! Why not us?
-I just hope we play hard and minimize mistakes.
-Have we spoken to Georgia State about how we can quiet down Neyland?
-This game is a loss, not sure why we schedule stuff like this.
-Nico is a Heisman favorite and our defense is not.
-Can we make them respect us? That’s the most important step in a contest like this.
-Rusty better have a game plan for slowing down their crazy ass offense.
-I’m a die hard Moc and I’ll be that way until I leave this earth, but there’s no way in hell we even come close in this one.
-Tennessee is big brother and we are little brother. How many times did you beat up your big brother growing up?
-We’ll score in garbage time to keep it closer than the experts think. All attention should turn to next week in Atlanta against Georgia State anyways.
-I want to say we can just catch them by surprise but I’m not naive.
-Can we avoid them hanging 70?
-Neyland sells alcohol correct? We’re gonna need a lot of it.
