Thank goodness our initial strategy of trying to be Iowa 2.0 in the portal failed, Dix and Freeman are just guys. The younger Sandfordt that ended up Nebraska looks like the best of the bunch, I think I’d still rather have Andrej though. Previous Message Previous Message Big game. For those that did not see, Tennessee lost in a close game at Syracuse this week for the SEC/ACC challenge. Tennessee is 7-2 on the season (ranked 21 in the NET) with a 1-2 record in their Quad 1 matchups. Their big win was a close win against Houston, and their two losses were relatively close games against Kansas and Syracuse.

For those that did not see, Tennessee lost in a close game at Syracuse this week for the SEC/ACC challenge. Tennessee is 7-2 on the season (ranked 21 in the NET) with a 1-2 record in their Quad 1 matchups. Their big win was a close win against Houston, and their two losses were relatively close games against Kansas and Syracuse. Illinois is 6-2 on the season (ranked 26 in the NET) with an 0-2 record in their Quad 1 matchups. We shall not relive those. We've had a full week of practice. We got embarrassed against UConn. Hoping we are up for this game, as we have @OSU looming next week....this TN game is the 2nd of a 3 game Quad 1 slate. And MAN it would be good to get a win in this series. Tennessee is good, favored by 2.5, and just got embarrassed against Syracuse. The game is in Nashville, so will obviously be a semi-home game for them. Thoughts? Expectations? Keys to the game?
