Title: OK, predictions Post by: ReVOLver on September 09, 2011, 07:34:08 EDT Early in the week, I'd convinced myself that we would lose. But after thinking about it a lot, I switched yesterday. I do not think we will blow them out because they are going to score, but we are going to score too. Vols win and cover, 38-30.

I think their defense will still be bad and we will be able to outscore them . . . 41-31, good guys.

I don't think you are giving your D, and your home-field advantage, enough credit. It's over early as you guys roll: UT - 42 Cincy - 13 Title: Re: OK, predictions Post by: BigOrange Maniac on September 09, 2011, 08:21:20 EDT I don't think you are giving your D, and your home-field advantage, enough credit.

Really hope I'm wrong, but I do not have a good feeling.
I worry our 1st string D is going to get gassed (Cincy saw the Montana tape so they will do everything they can to wear us out) and our backups will get shredded. I fear our O-line will once again show us their youth and inexperience.

Title: Re: OK, predictions Post by: VinnieVOL on September 09, 2011, 08:31:33 EDT Like I said, I hope I'm wrong.

Cincy-38 UT-24 I can see not having a good feeling but... 14 points at home to a Big East team? :inughout: Title: Re: OK, predictions Post by: ReVOLver on September 09, 2011, 09:23:10 EDT The VolQuest guys picked the game this way...
John Brice: UT 38, Cincy 27 Brent Hubbs: UT 35, Cincy 31 Rob Lewis: UT 31, Cincy 23 Paul Fortenberry: UT 38, Cincy 31 Austin Price: UT 31, Cincy 24 Title: Re: OK, predictions Post by: BigOrange Maniac on September 09, 2011, 09:25:21 EDT Dang Vinnie! :biggrin: I'm far from convinced UT is going to win this game, but if we get beat at home by two touchdowns by Cincinnati, it's going to be a loooong season. You better not be right! :old:

37 - 24 Late TD by them... Title: Re: OK, predictions Post by: VinnieVOL on September 09, 2011, 09:38:29 EDT Maybe I'm just jaded...
Title: Re: OK, predictions Post by: ReVOLver on September 09, 2011, 09:40:52 EDT Maybe I'm just jaded... I don't blame you for predicting a loss, or for being jaded... that's why I was picking a loss earlier in the week and I told Incredi as much when we were talking about it.

CINCY 21 Of course I'm picking the Vols. :powert: :nono: Title: Re: OK, predictions Post by: VinnieVOL on September 09, 2011, 10:12:44 EDT Sure, I used to puff out my chest and say "we are Tennessee, and this Neyland"... I just don't feel that way now. Cincy isn't a bad team, and even if we win I certainly don't think it will be easy.
I just saw things vs. Montana that indicated to me we're just not there yet. And the way Montana had its way with our backups, I just think this game can get away from us if we can't sustain drives.

If we can run the ball, this game will be a UT 2-3 TD win Title: Re: OK, predictions Post by: murfvol on September 09, 2011, 10:32:11 EDT I am assuming the new baby and Gene Simmons' marriage have temporarily short-circuited Vinnie's wiring. I'll take UT 31 - Cincy - 20.

CW Title: Re: OK, predictions Post by: XHotlanta on September 10, 2011, 03:25:35 EDT UT 27, Cincy 35 ... sorry guys. :bawl:
Historically when UT can't run the ball ... they don't win. BUT ... if UT *can* move the ball on the ground this game ... it could be a laugher, maybe a 3TD UT win. It all hinges on the running game.

Title: Re: OK, predictions Post by: Ridge Runner on September 10, 2011, 06:04:16 EDT I'm afraid I agree with Vinnie. Cincy 31 UT 20. I was kind of discouraged with the running game in the opener. I certainly hope it gets better. If it doesn't we will get beat. And until I see improvement I'm not going to pick them just out of blind loyalty.
