Stock the box, boys. It's their only advantage, except maybe for their punting versus our punt returns, and I'm hoping Dennis Rogan can negate that. And yes, the Ragin' Cajuns 7th-ranked rushing offense may have come against dubious competition, but it's their biggest strength, and rushing defense has not been our strong suit now has it?

MeytonPanning wins this week's Hail Mary Haiku with the following creative entry, which he explains is a dialogue between a Tennessee fan and an Alabama fan.

As Corn from a Jar said earlier, while these guys are not Air Force, so Tennessee should win this one going away. I'm hoping for a lot of snaps for young guys at every position, including quarterback. Vols, 42-13.

I'll be heading down to Knoxville in a couple of hours and will be at the game, so someone else is going to have to drive the thread and do it blindfolded. Sheesh, no t.v.? Come on.

Leave your predictions and pre-, in-, and post-game thoughts below.

Go Vols!

Agreed.

UT should win this one going away. Despite every warning about not overlooking a team, I do feel this is one game where UT should risk it and game plan for Arkansas. We need every minute of practice we can get for the Razorbacks runners.

I think it's worth the risk of a flat game at homecoming. Roll them dice, Fulmer!
