I have no idea what is going to happen in two weeks. There is no way for me to predict this game, as both teams are about as schizophrenic as you can be.
UT is coming off wins over GA and a much improved BYE program. Bama will be on their 8th straight game and coming home from a top 10 match up against A&M Don't see UT winning but the table sets up better.
This is 78.667% of the team's first bye week. We need resiliency to overcome this change of schedule. Bye week is a program that we model ourselves after and it will be a great challenge and we are grateful for the opportunity to compete.
If I try to be a sunshine pumper... if a&m beats bama, the pacyderms might be so mentally depressed at staring down 2 losses (with LSU still on the schedule after us.. granted, a bye week between) that they just show up flat. That's the best, if not only, factor I see at leveling the playing field. Again.. if I were being a sunshine pumper.
