Tennessee is back
Tennessee is 2-0 and has won both games by at least 15 points. Are you buying Tennessee as a team that can win 10 games this season?
Buy:
Vols have been playing some D. Tennessee has held its last four opponents to fewer than 20 points per game, tied for the longest active FBS streak. In those four games, the Volunteers have allowed 3.6 yards per carry and opponents have failed to gain yards on an SEC-best 31 percent of their rushes.
Sell:
We saw this last year and the two years before that. In each of the previous three seasons, Tennessee has started 2-0 and then lost to a ranked team by at least 10 points in its third game. In those three losses, the Volunteers were outgained by an average of 218 yards and allowed almost 8 yards per play (7.9).
The Vols travel to Norman to take on No. 4 Oklahoma Saturday night (8 ET/ABC).
Vols cannot throw the ball. In SEC play last season, Tennessee threw eight more interceptions (13) and was sacked seven more times (12) than it had passing touchdowns (5). The Volunteers had a Total QBR of 46.1 in SEC play, 11th in the conference.

Get to a bowl and I would agree with being on the way back.

Holy shite...is that a serious question? 10 wins?

NO - OK; UF; UGA & Bama - not to mention Mizzou; SC & Ole Miss
If y'all win 6 games and make a bowl - I would call this season a success for the Vols

And will happen again saturday. Mind boggling that people think UT is "back" simply by beating Utah State and Arkansas State. For frick's sake.

This is why I hate these buy games in the first few weeks of the season, too much overreaction is made out of them
Whether it be Tennessee the last 3 years, or most recently Baylor, its annoying. We get it, Baylor scored 70 on Directional Louisiana State. Doesn't mean they are running the table.
Who gives a flip?

Butch deserves coach of the century award if he wins 10.

If they win 8 Jones should be "Coach of the Year", I'm not buying it, I guess stranger things have happened, but rarely.
Posted on 9/11/14 at 12:56 pm to Phat Phil
lol, no.
in all seriousness I do think Butch will get there if he keeps recruiting and doesn't leave for another job

If they win 8 games this year, UT should rename their stadium after him

Tennessee will be crushed by Oklahoma this week. Can't wait for threads like this to go away

On the way back. I think 8 or 9 wins is achievable from what we have seen so far. The real test is this weekend and I do not think Oklahoma will cover.
I think they are still maybe 1 or 2 years away from competing for the SEC East Championship.
