What's to say about this game?

Our offense is bad. Their offense is worse. Our special teams are bad. Their special teams are actually worse because they don't have Drew Butler or Blair Walsh. And their defense is better than ours.

Beyond that...this is a helmet game. Which ever team plays the smartest and hardest wins.

The questions of the week:

• Will the Dawgs let LSU beat them twice by pouting their way through this?
• Will the Vols come out flat for the 12:21 pm start as the home team often does?
• Will the crowd turn on the Vols if Crompton puts them in a position to go down 10+ early?
• Will Washuan Ealey know any passing plays this week?

This is the game of the great unknown. All that's known is neither team can afford to lose this game. The Vols can't start 2-4 with games remaining against Bama, Ole Miss and South Carolina, and we can't go 3-3 with games remaining against UF, Auburn and Tech.

We have to win.
