Outside of A&M-AZ state, this is the noncon game I'm most curious about this year. Would Beating the Sooners mean the Vols are the real deal?
Personally, I like Tennessee and I'd like to see the vols win this one(especially against a big 12 team), but I guess I just don't see what all the UT fans are raving on about.

Probably, but for the sake of the melt, I certainly hope not.

whoever replaces AJ Johnson will get tested immediately, that's for sure.

Tennessee may be dangerous by the end of the year, but I don't think they'll be ready then

Yeah, dude is for real. I don't know that the UT's line/linebackers are capable of stopping that man.

Oklahoma has one of the least experienced Offensive Lines in FBS starting the season, and a new offensive coordinator that was known for his pass offenses at Eastern Carolina.

TENN should be able to beat OU. Trench edge.

VOLS absolutely can win, but I certainly don't have it marked as a "W". UT has been awful against OOS lately along with being terrible overall. I would say this game is a tossup with the advantage being slightly to OU.
As has been mentioned, the run defense will be key. I think the frosh DTs will make an immediate impact and help free up the LBs, who I also think are very capable. I think UT will be able to move the ball effectively enough.
I've said it before...this team has the talent to win and should be a 8 to maybe 9 win team. Hopefully they can play to their potential and the coaches don't get in the way too much.

UT's front 7 will eat OU's OL alive. Funny how things could be reversed in just 1 year. OU became mediocre towards the end last year. They'll be even worse.

Tennessee coaches are holding back the roster talent? hmmm

OU will live and die by their QB play this year. Right now they have 3 QBs battling it out. They have Trevor Knight who started most of last year and made Saban cry in the Sugar Bowl a couple years ago. Baker Mayfield transferred from Texas Tech and can sling it but has had a bit of an INT problem. Cody Thomas started 3 games last year when TK went down but didnt look at that good.

I don't know, maybe. I didn't mean to imply that is definitely the case. I think we should see this year and next. I am not one who thinks that UT's coaches are the greatest in the world and it's well known that Butch had a few blunders last year at critical times.
I know they recruit lights out, I just hope the talent is coached well.

If Knight is healthy OU is top 5 team. They are going to beat UT easily I think as Stoops usually does not lose early games, his teams fold in the stretch.

Yes, I think Texas wins the Red River Showdown this year.

I understand. What were your biggest complaints? When turning around programs that have struggled, a lot of coaches focus on recruiting assistants at first and then transition to more development/football iq minded coaches. Is that something you see butch doing?Posted on 5/28/15 at 12:44 pm to Masterag
While I am picking TN to win the SEC East, I don't have them winning this game. They could win. They play the games for obvious reasons..lol.

When Tennessee beats Bama this year, the melt in T-town will be amazing. Couches will be burning and butt chuggin all over Knoxville as well.
