How is everyone feeling about it?

I know next to nothing about them outside of they typically field some solid defenses and run a pro style offense.

Just from a surface point of view, I think it's a pretty fortunate draw that gives us a good chance to get to 7 wins.

Traditional drop back passing QB -- who can pick up a few yards in a pinch. No where close to a burner -- Hoping that bodes well for Maggitt, Barnett and the UT DL.

If you look at their wins, they never beat anyone by much. They're definitely not a team that will blow you out.

If our defense can get pressure and our OL can protect Dobbs, then I think we win by 14

WVU is annyoing to defend and they beat Baylor. Notre Dame has questionalbe defense but they still have 5* athletes all over the field. Mediocre B1G team Iowa is the best chance at a win.

I watched a little bit of their game versus Nebraska and they were pretty unremarkable. They looked like a prototypical b1g team, slow and boring. They are certainly good enough to win, but I think this is a game UT should win if our guys execute like they are capable of doing.

I would love to see Hurd go for about 200 and the defense play tough like they were earlier in the season.

Lotta time to heal up for a team that's not that athletic, couldn't ask for a much better matchup.

I agree that we could win by 14.

I think it will all depend on our OL and MLB. Don't we get Crowder back for the bowl game though? If so, that will be huge. I never thought I would have said this, but there was a big drop off when Wiesman took over.
