The story line will come down to two things:

1) what's UT's mental status? deflated? angry at Butch (hurd situation)?

2) how beat up are we? defense is thin, as is. (we will revisit this question next week, too, I'm afraid)

If UT is focused, this could be close. Can we get several 3, 4, 5 and outs? If yes, we win easily and I hope aTm is at home thinking how good they are.
Our defense is thin?

You didn't expound on your thinking. Is it just a feeling you have?
Yes. Tennessee has gotten all the breaks this year and seems like the Cinderella team. Of course you could say the same thing about TAMU. Seems like funny things tend to happen when we play teams like that in recent years.

Maybe I've just bought into the UT hype a little too much and am way off base on this one. I assure you that I'll be more than happy to be wrong.

With all due respect, you will be wrong. Big time.

I have rewatched Tennessee's SEC games this year, and we are going to smack them.

It is a MUST that we recognize when a screen is coming, though. It keeps so many of their drives alive. But, I'm sure if I noticed it from the couch, Coach Saban and Pruitt will be all over it.

I'm in the 34 - 20 camp. think their D will be depleted by the 3rd qtr though I think they'll start a bit better than their history.
