Jackson the Mule says . . .

Duel On!

Yes, Jackson, duel on. Tennessee could pull off the upset if they meet three goals: control the A and B gaps on both offense and defense, win on third down defense, and punt safe. It's been well-re-hashed that the team that runs best wins. Yes, we might have discovered our identity as a primarily rushing team against UAB. On the other hand, we've not run well against the Gators recently. On the other other hand, the defensive line coach that's given us so much trouble the last three years for the Gators is gone, and the team appears to be highly motivated to avenge last year's dishumiliarrassment. So yeah, this could be a game. Maybe.

Just kidding before,
about the Clawfense you saw,
here is the real one.
