i unfortunately work with some OU blowhards and my bro and sister in law went there and i hear about how great OU is going to be 12 months a year
long story short they are all going to Knoxville this year and my bro in law was telling me tonight how Tennessee wont be able to stop their 2 headed RBs. He's predicting a blowout, im just praying that it will be a tough game for them
whats the pulse on the UT side towards this game?
i really think OU is going to surprise some people this year. they return most of their team and play in a shitty conference, i could see them winning 10/11 games.

I don't know the season I think rides on this game. I know it early but a win against boomer sooner could really boost some confidence... UT will win big..... nike baby ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconPimp.gif)

This is a really big one for Jones/Tennessee. If they are going to take the next step, they've gotta win this one. Really, no excuse for them not to.

I dont think Tennessee wins.

UT may keep it close for the first half, but OU will win by about 17.

Volts won't do much better than last year.

With home field advantage, 45%

UT is a dead program and OU has that elite O line to open up holes for those all star RBs.
So to answer your inquiry, 50/50.

As usual, OU has the most talent in the Big 12 by a mile. Personally, I think the Stoops era is on its last legs (losing 89-26 in the last two games against fricking Baylor can't sit well there) and OU perennially underachieves as much as any team in the nation, but Stoops lives for shite like this. Nothing would make him happier than going into an SEC stadium and winning an early season night game.
For football reasons, OU still has a nasty pass rush and that gave Tennessee all sorts of issues in that game last year. Not completely sold on OU QB situation, and they are installing a new offense, but I think Stoops and co. find a way to get this one before rolling over and playing dead in three abysmal conference losses.

Tennessee wins by 17.

To the team bus after the game? Definitely Vols, baby...

I really hope UT wins, but until they beat someone worth a shite and actually win one of these big games I can't respect them.

To be honest I have no clue. The homer in me says we win but objectively I think it's really close to 50/50. They lost 3 starters on the Oline and their D (other than LB) is not that great. But does our oline improve? Is Dobbs actually the player the media is hyping him up to be? We are a completely different team than last year so I have nothing but optimism. The way I'm looking at this game is if we win we will be competing for the East, if we lose I think we still have a good season but it'd be closer to a 7-8 win season.

Possible. But honestly if Tennessee could keep to within about 10 or so I think that would be a good enough foundation to avoid really messing up the season.

Vols will win this game. Maybe handily.
OU is more brand name than football team at this point. They are heading the way of Nebraska.

If UT can prevent the outside runs, we will be fine. I think we will with Barnett and Maggitt. UT wins by 2 scores. If UT can win this, it will be the best win for the program in a longggg time.
