This is one of the oddest games I can remember in a long time. Unranked Tennessee is going on the road to take on a Mississippi State team that is in the top 25. The Bulldogs are a three-point favorite. And yet somehow, it feels like there is nothing but downside in the game for Derek Dooley because we fans (myself included) feel like the Vols should win. So if they do win, we do little more than move another week into the future. But lose, and . . . well, let's not lose. It's Will's birthday.

Go Vols!
