They are traveling all the way across the country into a hostile environment, with a sophomore QB starting his first game on the road in front of 105,000 screaming fans. You may know the Pac-10, but I can tell you that in the South, college football is a way of life. And the Ducks have never seen anything like Neyland Stadium. Just ask the 2006 Cal Bears. They had to go to Tennessee and play, they were a top 5 team and were favored by 10-14 points. It was 28-0 Tennessee at the half.
Oregon may very well route Tennessee, I'm not saying they won't. I'm only sharing some insight before you risk your life savings on this game.
there is rain in the forecast tomorrow night in Knoxville too, you never know what's going to happen those kind of conditions.
I am staying away from this game altogether, but it looks like the best bet might be the under. My prediction: Ducks 27, Vols 20
