Tennessee is also I believe returning back to the 4-3 as their base scheme...were 4-3, then last season under Sunseri converted to a 3-4 which was an unmitigated disaster. Still, with an entirely new staff, new schemes all around, and new starters at leadership positions (QB, WR, TE) the Vols will have their work cut out for sure.

I honestly think Missouri will be a tough one because it's the 3rd game of a long away stretch, and we're unfamiliar with Mizzou's stadium and city. Mizzou may end up finishing higher in the standings than either Arky or UT...

I agree, Mizzou is almost like a trap game, sort of, kind of, but not.

If we are champions, we will have to play like champions this year, win the ones we are supposed to win and get some breaks along the way. Who knows when or where or how, but that is the rule.

I think Mizzou is the trap game. Arkansas and Tennessee are known. We're familiar with the stadiums and teams for the most part (with the exception of the new coaching staffs at both, of course...). Missouri will be alien territory. It being the last game will also be key.

Another factor is I think we'll put more emphasis on the other two games, if not outright, then subliminally. This is the last time we'll play Arkansas for a while, want to go out on a high note. Tennessee will be a game that Clowney especially will be focusing on. Another chance at Richardson, with how he was almost completely shutdown last time, should be a big motivator for him to have a big game.

Plus I think we are Mizzou's homecoming game...
