I hope I'm wrong but I think they beat us Saturday. They are playing better than they have all year. They are also playing for their coach and will have plenty of motivation to make a bowl game. This game is also a night game at Missouri and I see us losing the game in the 4th quarter on account of game mismanagement by Butch.

If Dobbs is truly hobbled and can't run then we are Fed and this game will look like it has the past two years on O.

Our OL will get dominated, we won't be able to run the ball and pocket passing Dobbs will be erratic at best.

If Dobbs is healthy and we can unleash our true three headed rushing attack we should be able to squeak out a close win.

I say if he isn't 100% then put in Dormandy.

Why would they make this game a night game? SECN?

The play calling the last two weeks has been horrendous. If Dobbs doesn't run it 10 plus times we lose.

Have you seen the SEC slate this weekend? This is easily the 3rd best game.

Dobbs running nearly helped you guys beat UF. He can't pass thankfully.

I'm far from certain that we win.

But the 9ish points spread seems way high.

I do think Mizzou will cover the spread. Difference will be their horrible redzone offense. I'll say UT wins a fairly close one, 24-16. Would be disappointed but not shocked if Mizzou won. I see a similar dynamic in this game as there was in the UF/SC game. Road team is clearly better and more talented, but home team is playing with fight through a head coaching change.

We've found some awful ways to lose, largely due to coaching mistakes, but we haven't lost to a bad team yet this year (what currently appear to be the 3 best SEC teams, and a team that is also 9-1 and just beat Baylor on the road by 10. All 4 came by a single possession.) A loss here on the other hand, would be a real upset and a major disappointment for this team and coaching staff.

Sorry, but if Lock keeps throwing those stupid fricking sky balls, we're toast.

He will but they won't be designed runs

We own Dobbs. If he actually is hobbled and can't be effective running it's going to be a LONG night for the Vols offense.

Our offense has been spudering but deffense is playing the best they played all year. That plus Mizzou's ugly offense has me feeling confident, we win 27-13.

This is true. I think it's going to be a tight low scoring game.

Spuddering?

This involves potatoes somehow. It just has to involve potatoes.

Butch counts to potato. Spuddering?

ETA: Edit to Spudering. Keep trying.

Nope, Tennessee should win easily. Vols have a much better offense and the defenses are closer than you might think.

After seeing Hansbrough run last week I feel a little more confident in the offense. He looked more like his old self. That said, I have no idea what happens. I would love a win to get bowl eligible. This is the best chance for that to happen.
