I go back and forth on this matchup. LSU has more talent overall and is at home. Tennessee will have the best player on the field, has looked better so far, and has momentum. So far I have this as a pickem but wouldn't be surprised if either team gets blown out.

It's just that usually if LSU is playing at 11am, they're playing McNeese State or someone similar.
LSU very, very rarely plays teams like that at 11 AM. Last time that happened was against Utah St in 2019. And I went back through the 2011 season, and the earliest any other home non-conference game started outside that Utah St game was 6:00 PM

Very, very doubtful LSU blows out Tennessee. I don't think we have the offense to blow out many teams on the schedule. We just have a strong enough defense to keep us in most games.

Tennessee isn't nearly as bad against the pass as everyone believes imo. AR played to his full potential last weekend and made plays that were almost undefendable at times after the play broke down.
To get a more accurate representation of our pass defense, i suggest to watch the Pitt game. We aren't great but also not as bad as AR made us look. We live and die by our pass rush imo.
If Daniels can scramble enough to make plays break down then our secondary will have problems. If he can't and is forced to be a pocket passer we will get to him early and often and force a few turnovers looking much better than you guys are evaluating us at.
Every defensive gameplan and QB is different.

Their starting QB got hurt and missed half the game, and Tennessee still gave up nearly 300 passing yards to Pitt. Tennessee is dead last in the SEC in pass defense. Even if you remove the Florida game, they'd still be 11th in the SEC with games against Ball St, Akron, and Pittsburg (playing a backup in the 2nd half).

Not really. Overmatched sec opponents fall into the same category. LSU has not played many games at 11 where they're not prohibited favorites. So this 11am game won't be anything like those, but rather like Florida last year.

My feels are all over the place right now. I could see Tennessee winning by 14-17 and wouldn’t be shocked. I could just as easily see LSU winning this by double digits.
Tbh I had pretty much forgotten what it’s like for Tennessee to be in the top 10, going on the road to a big time SEC venue against a ranked team and actually being favored. My brain is currently in a hucklebuck trying to process this while my heart is expecting VOLS to let me down again

I'm not saying they are world beaters, but giving up 300 to Pitt is hardly a crime.
Our secondary is merely average to slightly below average at best. If our pass rush is effective against you though, they do have the ability to actually look pretty decent against you is all that I'm saying.
LSU'S oline is a bit suspect so i think we might look much better on defense than we did against Florida.
This could actually be a lower scoring game than most are anticipating unless Hooker just goes nuts like he did against Florida this year and Kentucky last year.

How are the punters, kickers, and return games for each team?
That was the difference in the Rebs/Cats game this weekend. Our kicker nailed a 53 yarder and the Cats had a field goal blocked and then botched a snap (resulting in a turnover on downs).

all not good for LSU. Our special teams have been a clownshow all year

Everything I heard/Read about this game is there is NO CHANCE LSU wins this game...

Special teams has been a weakness overall for the Vols. We seem to be very prone to punt blocks as well. Have had one successful blocked and almost a handful of others. We are lacking an alpha return guy like we had last year in Velus Jones as well.

Good!

Tennessee has failed to score on its first drive in its two biggest games so far this year. Against Pitt, it was because of overthrows by Hooker. Against Florida, our tightend fumbled it in potential scoring territory.
LSU can in fact get up on the Vols score wise early on. We typically haven't started flowing on offense until late first quarter to early second quarter this year so far.

overthrows by Hooker
This is so maddening, he does it every game but then he settles down.
I had forgotten about the arm that Milton has and he looks to have gotten over his gameday issues, in practice he has always been good. If Hooker is still banged up or gets re-injured I am not nervous about Milton coming in the game.

In LSU's 3 P5 games this year, they have scored 3 points total in the first quarter. In the first half, a total of 24 points. In the second half of P5 games, LSU has scored 51 points. To say LSU comes out of the gate slow is an understatement.

Heres another ding bat posting who dont know crap

This is a game where any outcome would not surprise me. I could see either team winning big and I could see either team winning close. Tennessee has a very good offense, but a suspect defense. LSU has a suspect offense and a very good defense.
I do think that Tenner's best chance is to be up big at half. If not, LSU will win because they play lights out in the 2nd half.
Having Tennessee's best wins not look as good after the past few weeks gives me some hope that LSU can pull it off.
