Vols replacing both lines...completely. Utah St has won 20 games the last two years. No doubt they haven't played UT's schedule. Don't be shocked on this one. Good win for Jones at this point if he pulls it out.

This doesn't work out so well for us

I'm a fan of Chuckie Keaton, interested in seeing how he looks coming back from the injury.

Fair point, I'm obviously just looking in the context of SEC standings/championship... it'll take me a while to get accustomed to the new 4-team playoff and it's affects.
Nonetheless, I'd still prefer Tenn get better. Nationally, Bama is one of the few schools standing in LSU's way so to speak, so I'm definitely in favor of someone in our way losing more, whether it be Bama/Auburn/Oregon/OhioSt/whoever
I've never been too terribly concerned with SOS, because LSU's is always high/good anyway, so that is not a big concern.

They have lost just as many returning starters, if not more than we have.
This is going to be a laugher for us.

I know nothing about Utah State's personnel, you maybe right and I hope you are. I saw a line at 7pts. Vegas is far from perfect especially early, but they do this for a living. Kick out the pts for being at home, and they are not as convinced as most Vol fans are that UT is the far better team. Thank goodness for all SEC fans we will have clues soon on all teams.

Utah State did not lose their coach. It's Matt Wells who is entering his 2nd year replacing Gary Andersen who left to go to Wisconsin. Wells was named Mt West COY last season.
Utah State has been knocking on the door of that "marquee" Big 5 win for several years now.
2009 lost to Texas A&M 38-30
2010 lost to Oklahoma 31-24
2011 lost to Auburn 42-38
2012 won vs Utah 27-20, lost to Wisconsin 16-14
2013 lost to Utah 30-26, lost to USC 17-14
Though they have beaten Utah that win doesn't really register nationally like a win over TN would.
USU had some hellacious DLs the last few years and VU hired their DLcoach Frank Maile in the offseason hoping to bring his Polynesian connections east of the Miss. Think it's going to be a game similar to USUs other recent big 5 games (tight all the way til the end).

Thank you. I've said this to everyone. They all give me the same look. I'm with you.

I have mad respect for Keaton but he's coming off both an MCL and an ACL. And to top it off, they lost all of their offensive production minus him. Most all of their defensive production. And have rank 2nd on returning starters. Their oline, dline, and everything else just isn't the same as what it was last year.
That said, I take them very, very, seriously. Chuckie has the skills to pull out an upset almost single-handedly and I fear for that game. BUT they're not the same team they've been.
I think it's going to be a great game but I think we're going to win.

I agree. Chuckie Keeton is the truth.

Yeah I learned you don't overlook those guys. They should have beaten Auburn.

I doubt it. It's a good defense and they have a scramble QB, which the last time UT played one, it was Oregon. We saw how that turned out.
USU ain't Oregon, but it will be much closer than 3 TD's, if you do win.
