To be honest I have no clue. The homer in me says we win but objectively I think it's really close to 50/50. They lost 3 starters on the Oline and their D (other than LB) is not that great. But does our oline improve? Is Dobbs actually the player the media is hyping him up to be? We are a completely different team than last year so I have nothing but optimism. The way I'm looking at this game is if we win we will be competing for the East, if we lose I think we still have a good season but it'd be closer to a 7-8 win season.

0%. UT is shite, Butch is shite.
Seriously, I think it's close to 50/50, because while OU is always good year in and year out, they were sort of unimpressive down the stretch last year. They are uncertain at QB and don't have the dominating front 7 they did last year when we played them. Basically, this game looks nothing like it did going into last year. Certainly they are very far from a pushover, and we do have to find a way to contain Perine and their other RB's. We're still a bit young, but a lot less so than last year, as all the frosh/sophs become sophs/juniors. They'll need to grow up fast for this game.

OU might start Trevor or Baker, they've got an incredible WR in Sterling and they've got another one from a Texas JUCO who is ridicilously fast, Perine is going to be hard to stop though, kid can really hurt your lb's, if the qb can sling it and you don't stack the box against perine, Vols are going to be in for a long night
