Those that are thinking of backing the Vols...

In all seriousness, I have replied to Cie and Corley, but will give you my thoughts coming from some former Vols, Todd Kelly and Fuad Reveiz(whose son still plays for Sunseri.

I think the Vols defense has quit on Sunseri. Talked to former Vol and 49er, Todd Kelly, and he said the defense has had it and is tuning Sunseri out. He says all this yahoo does is scream and yell and it has come to a point where the defense has tuned him out. Also, Reveiz has indicated much of the same. I don't want to quote Reveiz, because I received that second hand, but TK just laid it out.

Saban can scream and yell because he has done something. Sunseri hasn't done a damn thing with twice the talent that Wilcox had last year. Dooley fighting for his job and Vol fans giving away tickets to this one.

I will be taking Bama and the over, because I do think the Vols will score, but I think Bama can name the score. If you think Bama ran for a bunch of yards last week, HOLY SHIT, just wait.:facepalm:

I just posted about my Tech play and the reason is because of something very similar to this. Last year the Tech D quit on their D coordinator after the OU game. They gave up 66 twice and 50+ after that game.

UGA averaging 41 ppg - Vols gave up 51
Cowbell averaging 35 ppg - Vols gave up 41
Gayturds averaging 27 ppg - Vols gave up 37

Bama averaging 40 ppg - Vols give up :facepalm:

From an AP sports writer:

"The Vols continue to hemorrhage against ranked teams and conference foes.

Tennessee is 14-17 overall, 4-15 in SEC games and 0-13 against Top 25 opponents since Dooley took over the program in 2010. The Vols have lost 10 of their last 11 SEC games. Dooley's first two years at Tennessee resulted in the Vols' first consecutive losing seasons since 1909-11, when the Vols had three straight losing years.

This latest loss will lead to more questions about Dooley's job security. Alabama's arrival next weekend also will bring more attention to new Vols defensive coordinator Sal Sunseri, who worked as Alabama's linebackers coach last year. Tennessee placed 28th in total defense and 36th in scoring defense last year under former defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox, who now has the same position at Washington. The Vols currently rank 87th in total defense and 90th in scoring defense."

Fooley just announced at press conference that Curt Maggitt has a shoulder stinger that will limit him vs. Alabama. Rajion Neal (ankle) is doubtful.
