If the o-line for UT can control the line of scrimmage and UT can effectively run the ball at will and keep the Oregon O off the field, there is a chance.

UT isn't dropping 24 on OREGON. You had trouble moving the ball against WKU.


after our defense put us up 31-3, we ran a total of about 6 different offensive plays. With walk ons getting PT at the start of the second half.

There is nothing undersized about our DL that is deep as the pacific ocean. Our starting LBs are not green too.

I really don't think so. Oregon is going to score too many points for tenn to hang with IMO

Right... Just like UGA's oline would maul Boise State's undersized DL.

Think before you post, bruh. I would hate to be Tennessee this weekend. Good luck though!

I am still waiting for an answer about how our DL is undersized. We aren't going to put 330 pounders out there but I guarantee you they are packing weight and it's lean as hell.

I just don't see how. If this was a video game and you could turn off the fatigue factor, maybe Tennessee could play their starters the entire time and keep it from getting too ugly.

The only thing I'm confident about is our pass blocking. I'll believe we can push around Oregon's DL when I see it.

It's a safer bet than using than that ten to buy a lottery ticket. However, you'll probably still lose.

Oregon has proven it can't beat SEC schools

Tennessee has superior SEC athletes and size, and depth, and will disrupt Oregon offense

I think UT can stay close and take it into the third but their lack of depth will sink them. Ducks hammer down in the fourth and make it look worse than it actually will be. Ducks 38 Vols 20. I think the Vols cover.

About a 3% chance.

This is probably best case scenario for UT. I'm probably not touching this game, but if I do anything I might check out the first half line and think about putting money on UT if it's anything over 14-17 points.

The problem with giving Oregon 38 is that UVA's defense actually grades out as high as Tennessee. There is a reason UVA completely shut out BYU. London has amassed some good talent over the last three recruiting cycles. So, they have a good blend of vets and extremely good young talent.

I think it will be closer than the betting line. UT may pull it off. Will have to play ball control Offense, and hope Oregon turns the ball over some. See Florida last week vs. Miami.
