Vols VS. SC

[THEdonkey0515]

Bleacher report game preview has the vols winning 27-24. But they have been way wrong a couple times this year on there scores happens to everyone i guess in football
they did bring up some good points like how UT has already played some hard games on the road, UGA,Oklahoma, ole miss, and bama at home also so they dont think SC can really throw anthing at this young team they have not seen yet .
and something i did not realize UT only gave up 2 sacks vs bama! only 1 with dobbs in the game. And ran the ball well can they repeat that? UT will be playing hard to get to 6-6 also.
Im gonna guess 17-20 vols

The big question is gonna be whether Dobbs can replicate that performance. He no doubt has better mobility than Worley. He looked confident in the game. But he did have some wild passes. If he continues playing confident and gets a handle on his passes, he is going to go far. SC defense is not up to the challenge this year against anybody IMO. Offensively they proved they can score some points.

CBJ is gonna have to start trusting the team to make 4th and 1s and go for some. I didn't disagree with his call on the field goal at Bama though. Time running out before halftime you have to go with the better percentage of scoring points there.

Some are saying that Bama wasn't prepared for Dobbs and that others will now be prepared for him. Do Bammers honestly think that Nick Saban wasn't aware that Dobbs was probably gonna play and NOT be prepared for it? I don't think so. What he wasn't prepared for was how well Dobbs would play.

28-17 Vols

Yup i think saban knew dobbs had a good chace to play in that game and if he didnt kiffin would have reminded himdobbs just played better then people thought he would.
SC im sure has seen the film, they might put alot of bodies near the line of scrimmage or leave some line backers to spy on dobbs and force UT to win throwing the ball.

SC by 14

SC is favored by 8.

Would love to get the upset, but will have to see it to believe it.

I know one thing, the SC fans have to be praying that Spurrier moves on. To go from a pre-season top 10 team to 4-4 at this point has to be one of the biggest flops in his history. I think he has peaked at SC.

Uncle Smokey will be giving his prediction on this game when he returns from gator wrestling in the Glades.

Since he's 3-0 on TnDeer and has the only proven perfect record. Standby for the football source...

He did pick the FL vs TN game and paid off his 1997 Craftman riding mower with his winnings....

 

[THEdonkey0515]

What he use the other 9 years worth of winnings for?

I agree that he has peaked out,time for retirement.When he retires,South Carolina will just sink back to the depths they came from.South Carolina has been in the Sec for over 20 years and never even won the SEC East division

[Gravey]

As a Vol fan I'm hopeful but until they can win one on the road it's not easy to pick them. Carolina isn't that good either so who knows. Either way I think it's close.

He went 11-2 three seasons prior to this year. That is fantastic by SC Standards...and much better than the Vols have been in the past decade. He could easily still win 7 games this year and is far more likely than not to get Bowl Eligible. The Old Ball Coach has earned his right to have a mediocre year.

The relative weakness of the East this year, AND he beat the likely winner of the East, is a flop.

And as bad as the Vols have been, he's only 4-3 against us, and 5-2 against Vandy!

Also, I didn't rank them preseason top 10 !

 

[BamaProud]

I don't think TN has the Offense to score enough to beat SC...especially on the road. Both teams have a decent Defense. I look for a low scoring game.

TN 17
SC 23

 

[buckaroo]

The Vols offense changes a bit with Dobbs, Vols actually ran the ball more on bama than any team this year, 181 yds, I think the average was somewhere around 78

I dont see a decent defense at SC. Other than a 27-0 run last weekend by Bama in the first, TN defense is superior IMO.

 

[PalsPal]

If Dobbs completes 60% of his passes, the Vols have a great shot. His accuracy is what has kept him off of the field to this point.

You call SC a decent defense,they are like the worst defense in the SEC and Tennessee is one of the best

 

[TeamMainStreet]

As long as the offense can get the D some rest, the D can take care of their business. And as long as Spurrier don't run guys on the field just before the ball is snapped and get up real quick 27 to nothing.

I wouldn't say the vol defense is one of the best. They're above average for an SEC defense.

I got a hold of Uncle Smokey on the pay-phone, located at the Ole Swamp Diner. He told me that he just got done reading a bunch of press clipping about the Ole Ball Coach and that Northerner coach of the Vols. He told me that the OBC would have to win this game at all cost, so he could show his face in E. TN to visit his family.

Uncle Smokey kept telling me that the Northerner coach is a little confused about his starting QB and probably wouldn't have much of a game plan since he couldn't judge talent... Uncle Smokey also reminded me that the Northerners don't do so well in the heat.

Uncle Smokey kept mumbling that the Cobb kid could cause SC some problems. I corrected him and told Uncle Smokey that Cobb hasn't played for UT since the late 80's. After I cleared that up Uncle Smokey told me that the OBC would win 31-17...

It'll be a game for sure but I think the OBC goes 0-2 against the "Northerner"

 

[darn2ten]

GnB talked to Ole Smokey, but I talked to the OBC direct. Said he's got a game plan that can't fail. Got something that's just like kryptonite against the Vols. Said he's going back, way back! Going to bust out some solid old school fun n gun, but his real secret...... SC will wear orange and blue!

Oh yea, he can miss and probably will before the season is over with.
