Let's talk about this one.
I think this will be the most important game that we play all year. It very well could decide the SEC East, as the winner will hold the head-to-head tiebreaker. Tennessee returns 17 starters from a team that by all rights should have beaten us last year on the road. If it hadn't been for the Grier-to-Callaway 4th down miracle, or that little puff of wind that threw their final field goal attempt 6 inches right, we lose that game in The Swamp. This year, they will have the home field advantage with an arguably much more experienced team than we will have, and a team that was playing their best ball at the end of the season, when we were playing our worst ball. Their QB will be a senior, while ours will be starting his 4th game.
I know there are a lot of people on this board who think its the same old, same old, when it comes to Tennessee, and that it is almost an automatic W, but I am very worried about this game.
Thoughts?
