You haven't seen a DL this fast yet this year. I know UT's OL is big and strong but I don't know they have the foot speed to contain Ray and Sam.
I think they have - I watched the TN-Alabama game last weekend in Tuscaloosa. Alabama didn't necessarily try to blitz, or get a strong pass rush very much, but they pretty much smothered Tennessee's offense. We don't have the secondary to perform like Alabama's did, but I'm hopeful we can limit Lane and Neal in a similar fashion.
On the other side? Alabama moved the ball, and pretty much scored, at will. We need Mauk to limit mistakes, and distribute the ball. If we do that, and (as kilo said) win in the trenches, I think we win.

24-20
I will also say the turnovers will be +2 for the good guys and Mizzou scores a defensive touchdown.

Alabama's DL is much stronger. They had the luxury of being able to just collapse the pocket. MU doesn't quite have that option but our DEs are quicker than Bama's, but not as strong. The Bama DEs have heavy feet.

That's true - their speed comes from their LBs and secondary. Good point. They just absolutely manhandled Tennessee's offense. And defense.
I will say though - good for Tennessee for not getting shut out like Arky and Ole Miss!

I don't see the Tennessee defense having the same level of success against our offense as USC. I expect a win, back in the 15 point range we were seeing before we got surprised by Connor Shaw.
45-28, but the game isn't as close as the score.

I was more nervous this time last week about Tennessee than I was about USC.
USC won pretty close/ugly in a lot of their earlier wins. Tennessee is playing with a lot of heart. The Bama game makes me feel a little better, but I still don't think it's a slam dunk win.

One of my biggest concerns about this game is staying healthy. There have been a LOT of knees destroyed by Tennessee players this year. With the new targeting rule, people are hitting low to avoid the penalty and ejection; I think this is why we're seeing so many knee injuries.
Not saying they're necessarily doing it deliberately, but they seem to have taken that rule to heart and are hitting low - and they've taken out several players. We need our players to stay healthy.

This game is going to be a blowout.
Can't say which way. If we pull our poop together, we'll beat Tenn. so bad their older sister's ugly kids will show up with black eyes. But if we don't, we could be beaten by Rock Bridge. We'll see who shows up to play.

I think it will be a tight game. MIZ 27-24
