I definitely see the possibility. Alabama has had tough times against running quarterbacks over the past five years, and Dobbs can run.

I think Tennessee's defense is good enough to have success IF Coker reverts back to being inaccurate.

If the score can stay low into the 4th quarter, I wouldn't be surprised to see a few impressive runs from Dobbs to get Tennessee the win, but it's a long shot.

Of course they have 'a shot'

I mean, Alabama could turn it over 5 times again. It's a longshot, but shite sometimes happens.

I think it's entirely possible Kiffin derps this game away trying to force big plays and not running the ball. UT has good size up front on the DL and he may get cute trying to scheme around it.

Alabama is extremely overrated and Tennessee is a lot better than Ole Miss. By the end of the season, we won't view the Tennessee win Saturday as an upset.

Speaking of...!
Ref wanted to do the right thing and throw the flag after the failed kick but bitched up. Tenn won that game in my book.

If Tennessee can trade punches with Alabama going into the 4th qtr then the Vols have a chance. Dobbs is more than capable of taking it to Bama but he is going to have to play the game of his life. For UT to have a chance, they have to match Bama score for score going into the 4th. I do not trust the Tennessee defense to slow down Henry and Ridley so this game will be on the back of Dobbs. Special teams will also have to keep doing what they're doing and show out Saturday.

not really.

I do think there is a decent chance they move the ball and actually threaten that defense more than A&M did.

But, bama wins by 14 at minimum, IMO.

Vols have two chances - Slim and None.
And Slim will be leaving after halftime.

Would love to be wrong though.

Coker's been playing above his paygrade. Defense can only take you so far. Maybe Coker's week for a reality check.

Alabama has a tendency to (like most teams) have a letdown game after a big win. I think,however, with the off week on the horizon they might come out with a 59-0 performance like they had against A&M last year. The rest period will be much appreciated, I'm sure.
