Vols vs NC State
Current Line - Vols -3 O/U 52


It is very interesting for me to say and/or believe this, but this is the most important game in "The Count's"(Derek Dooley) career thus far. For outsiders, it may be crazy, but for fans here, this is a must win game.

The Vols return 9 starters on offense, but the big thing is the fact that the OL has a great deal of experience after two tough years. Steele has their OL projected 3rd in the SEC, but I would put them 2nd behind Bama. The Vols will be able to run this year, which will take pressure off QB, Tyler Bray.

Don't read too much into Da'Rick Rogers being kicked off the team. Yes, he was one of the best receivers in the SEC, but two things - 1 - he benefited greatly from Justin Hunter being out, and 2 - he was a cancer to the team. As much of a prick as he was, he even said that he might end up being the #3 receiver on the team behind Hunter and JUCO transfer Cordarrelle Patterson. There is also experience behind these two with SR. TE Mychal Rivera, and SR. WR Zach Rogers. Add a bunch of talented freshmen in the mix, and it won't take long for Vol fans to say "Da'Who?"

NC State has one of the best secondaries in the ACC, but they only return 2 of their front 7 on defense. This will allow the Vols to run and get some quick routes early to bring the secondary up.

On the flip side - the Pack have a strong OL and with the Vols going from a 4-3, to a 3-4, SR. QB Mike Glennon should be able to have some success, esp. early in the game. I really expect Tom OB to be ready due to his success with bowl games and time to prepare.

It is hard for me to pick the winner in this game. I think NC State has a tremendous coaching advantage, but I think the Vols have more playmakers and better special teams. This may be what it comes down to in the end.

Did you look at LSU's schedule? A bye week to prep for Bama, Perttino getting fired, Texas AM loosing its bye week to prepare for LSU? Your hoping Metterberger gets hurt thats the only way LSu doesnt win 10.

you should call Las Vegas and tell the bookmakers this as well. I bet they will appreciate it and adjust their line because they definitely didn't factor any of this information in. :0074

Ryan - thanks for the heads up, but I did actually look at LSU's schedule before I made the wager.

They are coming off a horrible loss in the title game.

They have a depleted secondary and only one returning starter at LB. McCarron went 23-34 for 234 and 2 TD's against an experienced secondary.

Mettenberger did factor in my decision in the fact that he hasn't done a damn thing yet in the SEC. Until he proves something, there are at least 5 and maybe 7 QB's I would rather have than him in the conference. You obviously disagree and think he is the second coming, but that's good optimism and he may be that good. I don't want to hear about it, I want to see it.

Could care less about Petrino being fired because LSU has lost their last two at Arky, and 3 of 5 overall, with one of the wins in OT.

Could care less about A&M losing it's bye week to prepare, because LSU should beat them anyway.

Could care less about LSU having a bye week before Bama.

Having a bye can be just as detrimental as it can be beneficial. It depends on injuries, whether you are on a roll, or if you are not and struggling.

I am sorry you don't agree with the wager, but it is $100. I am going with odds here, and the year after they have made their runs, they have lost 5 and 2 respectively.

I think it will push at worse, but you never know in this conference. Going undefeated is never easy in the regular season, especially two years in a row in the SEC.

Hearts and heads sometime just don't agree when it comes to wagering AP.

Don't worry Skip. Corey Lemonier and Dee Ford are going to spear Metten repeatedly when they come to the jungle :SIB

It's not that TLankford, it is just hard to start pointing out easy road wins in the SEC. Sure, on paper, LSU is more talented than Auburn, Florida, and Arkansas; but road games are not played on paper and talent doesn't always = wins.

I look for value in futures, and there some value there getting back +40:shrug:

Will be pullin' for your boys on Saturday night. Both games in the Dome should be fantastic.:toast:

Last time I heard Dooley interviewed and listened to UT talk radio, everybody was way down on the team and players. Did that improve the last 2 weeks? I think this team will b lucky to win 6 games.
