With two struggling offenses (one really bad offense in UF and one average offense in UT) and two good defenses (one really good defense in UF and one pretty decent defense in UT), this game is going to be a low-scoring affair that could vey well could come down to a special teams play. When is the last time Tennessee went into any big SEC game being able to feel like it had an advantage on special teams? Even with Medley's struggles not withstanding, I feel like this is a clear advantage for UT in this game.
It has been amazing in every way except Medley. The punter is a very pleasant surprise. He may well end up averaging better than any punter in UT history, and that's saying something with the Neyland-Cafego tradition and even today we have three in the NFL. Returns have been fantastic although not so much against OU. Medley struggled mostly in the opener and has been better since. I think we have a big advantage on special teams.
Heck if it's as close as you say just our punting and punt returning will make a huge difference.
