#6 TN went to #16 LSU in 2022 and destroyed them 40-13. This team is deeper all around and is not going to be afraid of going to OU. OU let Tulane come back from 21-0 at home and make it a game. Don’t be surprised if this game gets out of hand

[@EulogyfortheAngels]

Tons of data points and historical precedents go in all different directions. It's entirely possible that it gets out of hand; it's also entirely possible that Tennessee is inflated because they haven't faced a team with a pulse on either side of the ball yet and OU is about to play its best ball by far. Surprises happen weekly every year in the sport.

NOBODY who knows ball thinks that Arch is better *right now* than Quinn. Nobody. He may end up being better, but right now Quinn is the clear starter. How’s Sark gonna handle it? He’s already handled it. He’s said Quinn’s our starter, and when he’s healthy, he’ll start. It’s not about loyalty. Quinn gives us the best chance to win. Elite Veteran QB > Elite Freshman QB Simple.

[@HeyCross-ss3wv]

Actually every intelligent person does. I think you are the outlier bud And Arch is a sophomore. He was backing up last year numnuts. And Quinn is not elite. Never has thrown over 30 tds. 1 good year out of 3. Very average at best I’m right. You are wrong. Cope

[@chriscypert8616]

@@HeyCross-ss3wv Arch redshirted last year “numnuts.” He’s a RS Freshman. As far as Quinn, if you don’t know ball, just say so. Sark’s opinion is the only one that matters, and Quinn will remain the starter for the remainder of the year, because he’s a better, more experienced QB. He’s also gonna be in New York for the Heisman ceremony and be a top 10 NFL draft pick. Book it.

[@dustindahlinger9446]

@@HeyCross-ss3wvYou act like Quinn wasn’t favored for the Heisman until he got hurt. Quinn is elite and will be a top 5 pick in the draft unless he gets a serious injury. Clearly Sark and NFL scouts think he’s elite. You’re not right, “cope.”

[@holyisthelamb2012]

Great show. McElroy and Pate are a great combination of two of the best minds for analyzing CF. One thing anybody who has to play the Vols must worry about is their size. The OL has 10 bodies of more than 330 lbs. The DL has several 340s that can move. I am a Longhorn, and we are a big team, but the Vols are much bigger than us and the Dawgs. Against OU I will be watching to see if the big bodies are fat or lean. Venable's defense is no joke when he has them prepped and ready. He has a Linebacker's mentality. They will tell us about the Vols. If they overpower OU then they have something. Otherwise, they are a bunch of fat guys.

[@skipgumphrey9579]

That’s a great point. It’s the exact problem Bama ran into last season. We had a HUGE offensive line that was thought to be one of the best in the country preseason. Wound up being a big fat(pun somewhat intended) liability instead ! RTR

@@codym6325 Tenn. is different now with Heupel. O and D with depth. If Oklahoma beats the Vols, they will have darn well earned it.

[@KwickKnox80]

It's time to let that go brother. This team is built differently. We finally have the depth where we can sub in backups and not fall off. We can rotate 13 on the defensive line. We can go 7 deep at WR and 3 deep at TE. Our defensive backs haven't really been tested bc everyone has tried shorter quick passes bc of our rush. But they are more athletic now. I think we are only going to get better moving forward too. Break out of the BVS. Heupel isn't Jones. GBO 💪🍊
