Their incredible luck makes me nervous. But boy have they struggled with bad and mediocre teams.

I think they are not close to being as good as Arkansas, so if we are firing on all cylinders on offense, and if our D can grind out another great game knowing they get a week of rest aftarwards, I feel that we should do well.

Their incredible luck over a whole season doesn't touch one quarter playing Texas, we've been there and done that.

It's College Gameday. Therefore, 1 score loss.

Word is JRM and Kirkland will both still be out, and Sutton is definitely out. Hurd has a "lower leg injury" which may just be code for being in the doghouse.

Garrett, Noil and Eluemenor will be back for us. Harvey and Trayveon are fine. RSJ will probably be out until Bama and I don't know about Ford.

The keys are containing Derek Barnett and making Dobbs beat you from the pocket as much as possible. Interestingly, the keys for them are containing Garrett/Hall and making Knoght best then from the pocket.

Both teams will move the ball well between the 20s, especially with 3 of their 4 best defenders out. A concern for me is that Tennessee is more willing to stick with the run and not get cute in the redzone. This is a game unlike Auburn and USC where FGs get you beat because the other offense is a real threat every time they have the ball.

That being said, we saw what Tennessee is when you pack it into a phone booth and force Dobbs to throw from the pocket all game against App State and Ohio. Those teams had nothing to lose and sold out to stop the run and the read and both could have (App State should have) won with inferior talent.

Hopefully we get our four starters and Ford back. I wouldn't mind seeing more Tabuyo at wide receiver, but I like having Speedy at KR.

That luck for the Vols is the same that Auburn had back in I think 13.

It's no longer luck, which can sustain a game or two. It's beyond that now. We will have our hands full IMO.

31-23 A&M

I think A&M is going to force Dobbs to pass more than ever and I don't see anymore Hail Marys/DB slips. A&M should have some good success on the PA reads with Tennessee's weak LBs. I honestly don't think it will even be that close but they get a score late. They also have to prepare for a totally different offense on back to back road games. Knight just needs to stay TO free. There luck is going to run out eventually and I think it is this week.

What makes you think RSJ is 2 more weeks away from being healthy? We need him on the field

Has ghat been released or is that just speculation? I haven't seen any details released?

I don't think I saw Moore in the game either. Was he out?

High ankle sprain is speculation on my part based on the video of the injury, but I have heard he's not expected back next week.

Heard from who? What source? That would be horrible news?

Our limited offense stalls due to t. knight. Ags lose.

Tenn - 31
Ags - 20

no. We played mostly nickle all game.

When we are playing with a NB, the linebacker that comes out is the WLB (Moore). So Wilson played 70 snaps and Moore only played 11.

Thanks I didn't recall seeing him on the field and then he wasn't listed on the 12thman.com player participation report.
