I was listening to a Tenn radio show this morning (Fox Sports Knoxville) and they sound way to confident. One guy expects 12k Vols fans to be in the stadium Saturday. Don’t know how they can be so full of themselves after Florida exposed their defense. @volrumormill also doesn’t think their best WR will be ready and that they will rest him for another week. Vols are setting up for a letdown. 42-21 TIGERS!!!

They seem to have figured out that only eleven players can play defense at any one time so I can understand their newly found confidence.

They’ll have way more than 12,000 fans. If they travel like they did during their 1996-2002 heyday, they will probably have closer to 20,000 fans.

I actually like the SEC better when Tennessee is a power. They have been down for so long now, I was starting to think they would not be able to claw back to a top SEC level team. That said, we can win this game. Just need to play well

As they should be. They are ranked 8th in the country and have one of, if not the top ranked offense in the country. They're not great on defense, but LSU isn't very good on offense so it's kind of a wash. Not sure why their confidence is surprising to you.

Tennesse can score a shite ton of points. LSU starts slow, and House usually feels out the offensive schemes and matchups and then makes adjustments. The problem with playing Tennesse is that the Vols could be up 21-0 before LSU adjustments work.

TennerC has played the 13th easiest schedule thus far in the SEC. Their only road game they got took to OT by Pitt who got beat by a bad GA Tech team. They also needed the OT period to break 30 points and 400 yards of total O vs Pitt.

I live in VOL country. I can attest to their confidence. Everybody in my life from church, work, family, & friends that are UT fans are so damn cocky right now.

I have noticed how much they collectively HATE Brian Kelly too. Weirdly, the entire VOL fanbase has some sort of disdain towards Brian Kelly. It seems baseless. I never realized how jealous they are of Notre Dame.

Only being favored by 3 points is angering to them. They think and expect a 3 score lead by halftime.

Should be confident, they have a great passing game, and our back end is not good. Bad matchup for us.

What do you expect?

This is what the Georgia game looked like in 2018. Georgia hadn’t been to Tiger Stadium in 10 years and their fans thought they were the best team in the country and traveled like it.

Tennessee hasn’t been to Tiger Stadium in 12 years and their fans think this is their best team since 1998. They’re going to have a ton of fans at the game.

From their board:

“ It's death valley but with the early kickoff and how we score in a hurry and often, I don't see the crowd being that much of a factor”

We need to prove them wrong, like Georgia 2018. Bunch of cocky a-holes thinking they were going to take over Death Valley. This CAN NOT HAPPEN.

They have played 4 shitty defenses

Scoring defense ranking with and without Tenn points

Pitt 70th (61st without Tenn Game)
Florida 77th (65 without Tenn Game)
Ball State 112th (80th without Tenn Game)
Akron 122 (106th without Tenn Game)

They’re a good offense but they have played some absolute trash defenses.

Should be a fun matchup.

They also have a trash defense.
