We are approaching level of self-deprecation that shouldn’t be possible. Y’all are gonna destroy us. The line is -21.5 and I expect the Vols to cover
Covering would pull me out of this mid season crisis, but I honestly doubt we do. It’s about our last chance to show consistency before we have real issues on hand.
I have a bad feeling about this game. I think Frank Harris might be nursing a slight injury and if he gets taken out of this game trying to play hero ball, the whole offense will disappear.
On the other hand, it could be like the UTSA-Memphis game a couple years ago where the Roadrunners scored 24 points in the 2nd half to win the game with a walk-off field goal (then you would really need to panic)
I think a good test will be whether I’m happy or sad to put Nico in. Happy means we were consistent and we will cover, sad means we were so inconsistent that Heupel pulled the plug.
