I think we'll lose by somewhere between 7 and 14 points....or win by less than 6.

The lose scenario is about 90% likely.....the win scenario should be about 10%...but you never know given the metric system and converting Celsius to Farenheit. Not to mention trying to remember to say ze instead of he. Apparently, that's a thing now in Knoxville...although the game isn't being played there. I'm sorry...what was I talking about?
It's not the fall that hurts...it's when you hit the ground.

UT - 48
BG - 31

I can't see the defense being able to hang with UT for four quarters. Dobbs is a dual threat QB which is something BG has typically struggled with stopping. Their size and speed will ultimately wear down the defense. The offense should be good enough to make a game of it for a half, but in the end the Vols are simply too deep and talented to have a slip up.

Tennessee - 65
BGSU - 41

Tennessee is good. And with the style BG plays it means they're going to get lots of possessions. Hope I'm wrong.

UT - 45
BGSU - 16

The pass-rushers and secondary of the Volunteers will be too much for BGSU to develop a consistent passing game, while the rest of the front seven will clog up BGSU's rushing attack.

45-23 them.
RB-Hurd & QA-Dobbs' mobility will kill us. I think we have a decent shot at the other 3 OOC games but not this one. Although, turnovers could make an upset possible. Maybe they will look past us to their next game against Oklahoma.

Waiting for falconkid's sky-is-falling prediction ....

I like our offense. I know nothing about our defense. I see two possible outcomes
a) tight, tight game that goes either way in the final few minutes a la Indiana where our defense keeps it in range and our offense moves and moves and scores when it matters the most
b) Tennessee blowout mostly because of defensive issues and issues with their front 7.

Note: in Babers' second season at EIU, the Panthers started the season at San Diego State. EIU won 40-19. Complete blowout. The team was prepped and dominated SDSU in all phases. EIU was disadvantaged against SDSU similarly to how we are disadvantaged against Tennessee. May we have a similar outcome next week?

This is a hard one.

If all the hype about Tennessee football 2015 is true and Butch Jones is putting out a lot of misinformation about the Tennessee team, then I predict:

Tennessee 45
BGSU 14

If all the hype about Tennessee 2015 is wrong, Butch Jones is not dealing in misinformation, and the team is actually only a little bit better than they were last year, then I predict:

Tennessee 21
BGSU 17

Which will it definitely be? I ain't got a clue.

You've never seen them struggle to put points on the board. I have seen days when you would swear they must be Wellesley College---all girls and no football team. I am just wondering which team will show up or this one.

wut

I've seen the Big Orange play against solid defensive teams with the worst Oline in team history alongside an OC who was worse than Mike BoBo. There's no way in hell DeBord can be as naive as Bajakian was. You're overeacting.

Wait, Mike DeBoring is your offensive coordinator? As a guy who has watched a lot of Michigan football, I am so, so sorry.

how much is it going to matter in our game with them? Even if he were to call the same boring run plays all day would we be able to stop them?
