Tua will have around 300 yards passing, another 4 or 5 TD's.
Harris & Robinson should eclipse 200 yards rushing combined.
Spread is 35. Should easily have that by the half.
Hopefully no injuries during the moonlight scrimmage.

Listen up guys....the rec just called me via the secure satellite phone and said we don't need to beat ut too badly. How else will our plant remain their head coach?

Tempted to take UT and the points. Bama is due for a slump game and UT may be feeling an upward trend after MSU with Bama looking a few weeks ahead to LSU

Alabama is 8-19 ATS in its past 27 games as a favorite of 35 points or more since 2011.

But, "Alabama has won every game they’ve played this season by at least 19 points, and they’ve beaten teams by 35 or more points in three of their six wins. Their average margin of victory against SEC opponents so far this season is 23.7 points."

35.5-points is the 2nd biggest spread in the series since 1995. But, Bama did cover a 37 pt spread in 2017... winning by 38 points (45-7). So... who knows?

I can see that. Tennessee played UGA hard for a while and did beat State last week. The weather might be ugly too. Rain could be in the forecast. I seriously hope our team isn't overlooking them though. There's way too much to improve on as a team plus it's a night game and our guys should be fired up.

Not sure how many times I have posted in the wrong thread on this forum but it's getting to be a record. Anyway:


Pruitt sounds like he's going to run his freshman QB out there come hell or high water. So it looks like our defense will be matching up again with another TF QB. How many have we seen now and not one has had a bad day.

The vols have not played with the energy and toughness that I saw last weekend. They actually looked like they are getting this pro-style stuff down. But Maurer has been hit and a lot. This week in concussion protocol makes him a big Bama target. Guarantano still holds the ball way too long and really has trouble leading his receivers open.

The receivers are the best part of their team and their running backs are pretty good when they can find a lane. Trouble is the OL is really inconsistent. Pruitt will attack with his defense even with a very suspect front seven. It's just the only chance he has for turnovers and it's in his DNA.

I hope we run the ball more in this one. When the DBs come up we will get our chances.

Pruitt was unbelievable in his presser this week. He actually said if coach Saban didn't have mercy on the opponent Bama would score 100 points on most teams. Said they could have scored a 100 points on the vols last year. How freakin' refreshing to hear the truth for a change. Instead of the stupid coach-speak that some team kept fighting and was able to get some late points.

Not touching the 35 point prediction. Coach Saban has always decided the point spread far more than the team's efforts. He's like a "box of chocolates" on game day.

Tennessee has good receivers. Jennings is a big time player. Chandler is a solid back but as you said their line is inconsistent. I think Barmore could have a big game if he plays more. I can see this being a 45-14 type game.
