Preseason Predictions

Lindy's: Tennessee #6
Athlon's: Tennessee #2
The Sporting News: Tennessee #2

It's a nice thought, but the guys at Athlon Sports and The Sporting News must be smoking something wacky. Tennessee could very well finish at number 2, but at this point much remains to be proven before such a prediction should be made. Tennessee has only one game before its reality check arrives, and UAB's offense is no slop. Hopefully, Ainge and Clausen pick up where they left off and our secondary just shows up for a change. The secondary should benefit from having Stewart back as well as a couple of the recruits stepping up. If the defensive front can finally bring pressure to bear on the QB, it should make our secondary look much stronger.

In any event, it should be another "edge of your seat" season in Big Orange Country.
