Currently 2-7 with wins over 2-7 Memphis and 0-7 FAU. Coming off a 45-20 loss to Louisiana Lafayette in which 13 of their points were scored in garbage time. Defense ranks 107th in the country giving up 34.3 a game. Lost at Purdue by 3 earlier in the season. What, exactly, should me expectations be for this game?
We have been pretty good at beating the hell out of awful teams. The problems have only arisen when we play squads that are decent or better.
Supposedly their starting tailback is by far their best player and he is out for the season, which has really screwed them. They evidently run a super-fast paced offense, so that might mess with our young defense a bit. Their OL and DL should be very overmatched size-wise.
They run an offense that's similar to what Oklahoma does. The TB they lost is a legit NFL prospect. No one else on the offensive side is. Two weeks ago, they had 3 walk on WRs getting significant playing time.
A lot of carries for the backs and Worley throws a lot of quick passes to get his confidence back. Tennessee wins by 21 or more. MTSU makes 2010 UAB look like the 85 Bears
Score wise? Probably the Vols rolling 30 something to 7 or 3. Like snake said, I think this is an opportunity for the coaches and players to work on things and get Worley more comfortable with running the offense and his timing.
