@della sandwich edition.

Italian. Extra oil. Get right on it. Chop chop.

This should raise your expectations... for the last two weeks in a row Tennessee has been shut out in the first half. If you look at their points scored in every game this season you can tell when conference play started... I was right... once they got thru the cupcakes it has been a different story and this is an opportunity for Bama.

You better hope yer stolen coach is on the ball and has Bama ready to take over Neyland. This could go very well or be a disaster for Deboar.

Bama vs Tenessee and UGA vs Texas were very hard picks for me ... but Imma going with my gut on those.

Should it raise them more than for us with them getting beat by Vandy and taken to the wire by y'all? Both teams have things to fix. I can see this game as a tight high scorer or a tight low scorer or as a blow out for either team. The winner will feel great and the loser will feel like crap, but the loser will still has a chance to make the playoffs as there will probably be a lot of 2 loss teams in the end.

Regardless, it's the third Saturday and that is always special for both teams.

I honestly think this is a coin toss... Tennessee has some issues on the Oline which could be problematic and are not easily fixed. Bama's D has been suspect... they let UGA come back on them and barely won that one, they could not hardly stop Vandy ( feels weird typing that ) and the should have been able to shut down my Gamecocks but managed to survive that game... to be honest with Vols Oline and receiver issues plus Nico making questionable decisions under pressure and Bama's D looking simply porous at time and streaky QB play they may cancel each other out and this be like a 9 - 7 type game.

Now if Josh can get Nico to settle down under pressure that could certainly be the difference.

Josh needs to get the O-line fixed and that will fix Nico. I really don't understand bama's issues as I haven't watched them. I like that the game is at home. We probably need it at home.

Also, keep in mind that Kyle Kennard and Dylan Stewart were able to get pressure on Milroe all game so if UT's D can put the pressure on him that could open the doors for Josh to take advantage of... Bama's D is kinda on and off they clamped down on SCar a couple key time times and that made the difference in their game and they kept SCar from scoring several times... so at this point there are so many variables that I think it is a coin toss.
