USCjr vs Tennessee

[TTU/UK fan]

Call me crazy but I have a feeling South Carolina keeps it close. And possibly pulls it off. Tennessee is coming off of a crushing loss and bye week. South Carolina is coming off of a pretty weird game vs a team that has kept with every SEC team it had played. They finally showed an offensive threat.

South Carolina has proven to stay with anyone. They lost by 1 TD vs GA(scoreboard says 2 TDs but GA returned the onside kick for a TD at the very end). Vs TA&M they missed 2 FGs and threw an INT during a drive at the TA&M 24. I think it will be an interesting game.

It looks like they may finally have a QB, but who knows how he will react vs an SEC D. If not for 2 late scores USCjr would have beaten UMass alot easier than Florida and MSU.

Tennessee has been uable to hold any SEC team below 4 TDs so far. USCjr has been holding QBs in check and without Kamira I doubt just Hurd can run it down Carolina's throat. This game could be interesting. UT has only won 1 game easily so far. Think USCjr can catch them sleeping. Just my hopeful guess for the week. Opinions?

I dont think sc will break 14 points against UT.

I dont think sc will break 14 points against UT.

With the way Tennessee plays, South Carolina will likely start off 14-0 before Tennessee scores like 28 straight.

I don't think this happens, but if UT is still missing all the players they have been it could happen If Kamara is still out or not near 100% it really hurts UT. I have said for a long time Hurd wasn't anything special at RB and UT's best game running the ball was one he missed, Kamara on the other hand is a different story, they miss him more than anyone on the roster other than Dobbs. Dobbs beat us with a pass, but overall he isn't an effective passer and the deeper he goes the less effective he has been, but he is a serious running threat. But Hurd isn't going to make anyone miss, break a few arm tackles but feet are not good at all and will get tripped up pretty easy, Kamara on the other hand is bordering on and may very well be elite and without him UT is very beatable by just about anyone left on their schedule

Research Butch Jones' ATS record coming off a bye week....going back to his Cincy days it is excellent. It'll be interesting to see how the injuries affect the game however.

Botch has people believing they're battered and bruised...actually they're getting some of the injured and infirmed back this week and if they can keep Hurd sober that'll help. As for SCAR, depends on how their new QB plays.

I think this could be fairly close,UT probably wins by a couple of scores but SC will probably keep it close for a while

Outside of Karmara and Sutton, who will be back by UK game, all the injured players are back and most will play against SC except maybe RT Hall who they want to give another week to completely heal. Leaves the 2 out for the year but bye week allowed some of the younger players more practice time to help down the stretch. SC will fight but with a very thin roster will wear out before game is over. Bad thing has been injuries but good thing has been the playing time some of the younger OL & DL have gotten not to mention the LB's. And the best news is that Kirkland is back this week after being out since 2nd quarter of the VT game. With the injuries and our front end schedule, a 5 and 2 record is great. So far, every team we have played is bowl eligible with the exception of UGA and UF and both will make it.

I dunno, Tennessee's wins could easily have been losses aside from VT. South Carolina has a stellar redzone defense and pretty good secondary. Tennessee has the offense but I think no Kamara is a big hit. They have had a pretty tough stretch but that Bama game was just pure ugly. Yes its Bama though so ill give them that pass. But I wanna see how Dobbs and Hurd play without Kamara. We will find out if Bentley is finally a QB worth a darn for USCjr.

So Car will keep it fairly close, but the Vols roll in the end..... 31-14.
