State beat UT because...

[dawgstudent]

For me - it's we scored early and held on. Early turnover where we get the ball deep in TN territory or scored immediately off the turnover.

They average over 200 yards/game rushing. That has been our weakest point defensively. They ran for almost 250 yds vs Syracuse and ran for 125 vs Georgia.

 

[22yardpunt]

TN plays a “bad game.”

Turnovers, blown coverages, dropped passes. Schitt like that.

Only way we win is if they lose it. You feel me?

 

[HailStout]

because #webelieve

or because we hit the deep passes and UT turns it over at least twice

 

[patdog]

All Tennessee starters suspended for the game.

 

[msualohadog]

We didn't ring responsibly.

 

[HotMop]

We win if Jeremy Pruitt becomes thier Coach and they have to forfeit.

 

[Pars]

Big shots down the filed connect

 

[Dawg Raid]

Because Hadad said if we went 4-0 we would go 5-0

 

[Villagedawg]

State comes out in an unexpected defensive scheme that slows UT down for 2 to 3 quarters AND quickly established a good run game that opens up deep passes

Basically this. I’m all for enjoying the 4-0 ride, but there isn’t a position on the field other than maybe kicker where we have an advantage against this team, and I’ll be incredibly impressed if we keep it within 10 pts.

that said, let’s give em hell on Saturday

Cowbells. Duh.

We just can't miss any opportunities they give us.

If a receiver gets loose behind the D, Shapen has got to find him.

If we force a fumble or get a pick in their territory, we gotta go get 7, not 3.

I think they're going to score 30+, so we have to score with them.

 

[Bully'sBelle]

TN looked over us preparing for their bye week.

 

[onewoof]

Because we outscore them in a wide open game that breaks records that Rice set at Valley

 

[DawgatAuburn]

Cause we gots us a secret weapon

 

[BossDawg78]

Cowbells.....duh

 

[BossDawg78]

Cowbells. Duh.

Beat me to it.

 

[Bulldog45]

Tennessee gets a lead but goes conservative

 

[Pak Drescott]

A snowstorm starts right before kickoff

 

[DoggieDaddy13]

Our OL gets their DL on the ground early and stomps 'em in the nuts. REAL HARD!

They'll probably need to do that to the 2nd and 3rd string DL as well.

 

[Dawgbite]

Half the team gets suspended for gambling at the Hotel/ Casino they are staying at Friday night.

That’s it. If TN is smart they will run the ball a lot… basically what Arizona state did in the second half.

On defense, they should just sit in a zone and force shapen to take the short throws, which he has historically not been willing to do.

 

[JackShephard]

We slow the game down and it becomes a game where both teams run the ball and milk the clock. We are also at least +2 in the turnover battle. We win and stay way under the O/U. Something like 24-20.

 

[Drebin]

For me - it's we scored early and held on. Early turnover where we get the ball deep in TN territory or scored immediately off the turnover.

They average over 200 yards/game rushing. That has been our weakest point defensively. They ran for almost 250 yds vs Syracuse and ran for 125 vs Georgia.

We cut down on penalties, and we limited explosive plays and got off the field on third downs

 

[GloryDawg]

Lebby comes out in a true RPO with Kamario at QB. Then when Tenn makes adjustments, we bring Shapen in and run the regular offense. But really he needs to do what Mullen did in the 2017 Alabama game and go slow running the clock down in between snaps keeping the ball from the Tenn offense.

 

[CaptainFalcon]

We win if we are able to rattle them in their first road game and force mistakes.

Also need Shapen to be on his game, because their secondary is vulnerable.

Spoiler: The Answer

Arceto Clark

 

[POTUS]

State beat Tennessee because they fumbled it multiple times.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Big shots down the field connect.

This is the answer. Tennessee's secondary has been pretty average

 

[BulldogBlitz]

We win because the league has been infested with all our ADs and its just favoritism now.

 

[was21]

State beat Tennessee because they fumbled it multiple times.

State won because all of a sudden were able sack the QB three times.

 

[champdawg.sixpack]

Special teams and turnovers. Isaac Smith career day

 

[aTotal360]

We rush for over 180 yards, and UT does not.

 

[leeinator]

If we can get 3 or more turnovers out of UT vs 0 for us, then we might have a shot.

 

[WrightGuy821]

We win the game if we can control the line of scrimmage. Arizona St. almost beat us in the second half by dominating the line of scrimmage and running the ball down our throats. If we can prevent that, I trust the secondary to hold it's own. They won't beat us by throwing the ball downfield.

 

[22yardpunt]

I bet there's only a few people who can still name him.

That would be Mr. Arceto Clark.

 

[Ranchdawg]

We establish the run hit a few big passes to score quickly. Defense has their best game of the year.

 

[DAWGSANDSAINTS]

I was shocked at how we came out vs ASU!
We do that against UT and hold on somehow down the stretch and we have a chance.
UT has more athleticism at most every position than we do but we CANNOT have the stupid holding penalties, the false starts, the shanked punts and expect to be anywhere close to winning in the 4th Qrt.

 

[OopsICroomedmypants]

This is the answer. Tennessee's secondary has been pretty average

I heard the CB transfer from Colorado is now rated a first round NFL pick. Their other CB is a freshman that has played every snap.
