re: Game Predictions

This will be the 2nd year in a row that Tennessee has a bye week before playing USC, so they get two weeks to prepare. It didn't do them any good last season though, although they had come off of a 4-game run that included Florida, @UGA, @ Texas A&M, and Alabama.

They went 2-2 in that run, losing the last 2 games, before facing us. Maybe they needed two bye weeks in a row after the lashing they got at Alabama.

This coming season, they will host UGA before the bye, and then go to Bama after our game. Another tough stretch with us in the middle. But playing in Knoxville is tougher than playing them at home, which was a big boost to our team last season. It will be likewise for the Vols this season....
