00:00
And the other ranked versus ranked game last week in Charlotte, they blow out NC State
00:07
51-10.
00:08
Nikko was great, Dylan Sampson has been incredibly solid on the ground.
00:14
You're almost finding those two parts coming together.
00:17
2022 was the air raid with Hendon Hooker, last year it was all ground game with the
00:21
trio of backs in Knoxville.
00:23
So far, the returns have been great for the Vols.
00:26
Does that continue today as a 49.5 point favorite against Kent State?
00:30
So someone texted me today, hey do you think Tennessee covers that number and just hits
00:33
the over by themselves?
00:34
And I said, that's what it looked like was going to happen week one, and then I got a
00:38
little shy and I ultimately didn't bet.
00:40
I didn't bet at that direction against Chattanooga, but that's exactly what happened.
00:44
But if you really look at what's been going on with Tennessee, and the similarities to
00:48
the openings that year with Hendon Hooker, game number one Ball State 59-10, smashed.
00:52
Game number two, ranked Pittsburgh ACC, they actually won that game in overtime.
00:56
So this year's result was much better.
00:57
So you ask yourself, okay, well maybe a little bit of a letdown.
01:00
They followed up that game in 2022, hosting Akron and beat them 63-6.
01:06
What I am seeing right now from Tennessee, Josh Heupel, Nikko I, Dylan Sampson, is they
01:11
are going to obliterate teams, and they might be much better than anybody realizes, Joe,
01:17
because while Nikko grabs a lot of the headlines defensively, they gave up 10 points, Nikko
01:22
threw a pick, six in the game.
01:23
I mean, they should be sitting right now on six total allowed through two games.
01:27
Yeah, definitely I think you're going to see a lot of second and third teamers in regards
01:30
to this matchup as they move into conference play next week.
01:33
It's always a cause of concern, and especially in week number four.
01:37
I mean, 50 points, though.
01:38
I mean, we're talking 50 points.
01:40
We say, eh, it's possible.
01:42
But I mean, in terms of that spread, I'm not laying it.
01:45
Yeah, I would never lay a 50-point spread.
01:47
I would, I mean, you want to bet Tennessee, and you want to take a shot with that type
01:51
of line, wait first quarter, you get a scoreless seven, eight minutes, you'd be getting a discount
01:56
41, 42 in regards to that.
01:58
Again, I'd probably, if you're asking me to bet, you know, this game, I would take the
02:02
points 49 and a half and just hope that they back to it somehow, some way.
