Last week was painful in so many ways. Maybe we’ll delve into that some more later. Maybe not. For now, let’s just move on. Time to finish out this season and start preparing for the next one.
I’ll get right to it. Even though I have zero feel for this game after watching these 2 teams play last week. Here are some absolute guesses.
Expect Bazooka Joe Milton to look more like he has all this season in mop up duty than he did as QB1 last year. Look for 24-32 for 372 yards and 4 TDs. Expect him to add 62 yards on the ground.
Expect Jabari Small to carry 9 times for 58 yards and 1 TD. Expect Jaylen Wright to add 8 carries for 84 yards and a TD. Expect Dylan Sampson to add 4 carries for 48 yards and a TD.
Expect Cedric Tillman to catch 6 balls for 94 yards and a TD. Expect Jalin Hyatt to finish his Biletnikoff campaign in solid fashion with 6 catches for 122 yards and 2 TDs. Expect Princeton Fant to add to his surprising season with 4 catches for 32 yards and a TD.
Expect the defense to give up a bunch of yards on the ground to Vandy QB Mike Wright, while holding the RBs in check. I’m not going to call it, but here’s hoping that Dee Williams finally breaks a return for a TD. Expect Chase McGrath to have a night off from FG duties.
And expect a final score of…
Tennessee 49, Vandy 38
Go Vols!!
