No one talking about this game.
Tennessee road favorite against a solid NC State team. Tennessee always a let down.

That being said I would never bet for or against tennessee.Comment -
Neutral site game.Comment -
It is? Shows how much I paid attention there. NC was still very respectable last year, Tennessee shit the bed like always, I expect a close game and teased State up myself.Comment -
It's being played at the GA dome, not at NC State. State has a solid QB, stacked secondary and finished 2011 strong.
State's coach knows how to keep a game close and 52.5 seems like a lot of points to me.
UT was terrible last year and it makes no sense to me that UT is favored. State does typically start slow though and finish the season strong after their coach figures out how to use the talent. He can't recuit worth a crap but he figures out how to make the most of a bunch of 2 and 3 start athletes.Comment -
really like NCST +3.5Comment -
Take Tenn -2 1H
NC State hasn't played a quality opponent in 2 years honestly, at least Tenn is losing their games in conference, they only lost 1 game OOC last season if I remember correctly. Da Rick Rogers being dismissed is a tough one, but I think this game may be a grinder anyway so Tenn should be fine.
Even if NCST covers in the end, I see Tenn at least up by 3 come halftime. GL all.Comment -
UT's qb isn't too shabby either. He will be a first round pick when he comes out early after this season. They are also pretty solid at WR/TE even with Da'Rick being booted. That should be an interesting match-up with the NC State secondary.
From what I have heard, Da'rick being gone is a good thing. The team is rejoicing about the cancer being gone and are jacked up to play. They have a chip on their shoulder after losing to KY to end the season.
UT was terrible last year, but they lost their best WR on the first play of the Florida game and their starting QB injured his hand early in the season and missed playing time and when he did play it was with a jacked up throwing hand. All I am saying is that if you followed the reasons why they sucked it paints a different picture from just sucking for no reason.
They are just now building depth. That was another big reason they sucked last year and before. There have been so many players lost since Fulmer got booted it has taken its toll.
UT should be able to run the ball on NC State with their seasoned and big OL. They sucked at running the ball last year and are making a point of being able to this year. From what I am hearing there should be big improvements in the running game this year.
UT is going to the 3-4 this year so there may be some growing pains associated with that.
I think it should be a good, close game regardless of who wins.Comment -
It won't be neutral tonight. My buddy is there and there is a shit load of Tennessee fans. It's going to be 5 to 1 in the Ga Dome tonight. Folks are already getting liquored up and should be a factor. I was leaning NCST but the crowd can really make a difference in these first few games.
I'm loving the Over.Comment -
Joined you on this bud, my college roommate and buddy was the biggest Volunteers fan you would ever meet. Sadly died a yr ago in a car crash at the young age of 27. As an homage I am starting a tradition where I will take TN first game of each year.
Took UT -2 first half for you JUT, RIPComment -
SEC defense... Men vs. boysComment -
NC State coach is incredibly good as a dog. Tennessee has done well the past 2 seasons when favored. I'm not really seeing many edges here. Would lean Tennessee, but would not bet this game.Comment -
NC State starts off slow, something to keep in mind.Comment -

Need to stop the mistakes Glennon. The O-line really isn't supposed to bail you out every time you drop it.Comment -
Not sure if it wasn't in but I sure hope this sticks.Comment -
Wow, well...no biggie.Comment -
I thought the call was right, and that the announcers were crazy when they said it was a TD.
Lot of mistakes first half by both teams.Comment -
