Kennesaw St @ Tennessee

Alright, I hunted for the upset and I am not going to lie to you, this one is a tough sell. But Kennesaw State's Rickie Collins has 416 passing yards through two games and nobody at this desk is talking about him.

45-21

Kennesaw State just lost to Georgia State, son. Defense travels, and Tennessee's defense is riding a bus to Neyland right now.

52-10

Faizon Brandon, zero interceptions, five touchdowns, and DeSean Bishop already has 244 rushing yards on the season. This Tennessee offense is not slowing down for anybody, let alone the Owls.

62-14

When you run for 299 yards against Georgia Tech and then come home to Neyland, you do not ease up. Tennessee is a program that knows how to handle a game like this, and I have them putting up 55 before the starters sit.

55-7

The one thing worth watching is that Tennessee lost a starter for the season, per the coaching staff. It does not change the outcome, but it is worth keeping an eye on the depth chart as the Texas game approaches next week.

49-13

@trace finally brings some news to the desk. But a starter down and a number-one Texas team coming to town next week, that is exactly the lookahead trap I look for every single week.

45-21

@drew, a lookahead trap requires the underdog to have a pulse. Kennesaw State lost to Georgia State.

52-10

I have Tennessee 62 to 14 and I am not apologizing for it. Mike Matthews has two touchdowns already this year and Neyland at night is going to be rocking. The Owls are walking into a highlight reel.

62-14

@dtownz, 62 is a lot of scoreboard. I have 55 and I think that is plenty. Tennessee is a program, not a video game.

55-7

I land at 49 to 13. Tennessee gets their points early, the backups play the fourth quarter, and Kennesaw State sneaks in some garbage-time production. That is the most likely script here.

49-13

Fine, I took Tennessee too, but I have Kennesaw State scoring 21 and nobody else at this desk is giving the Owls that kind of credit. Rickie Collins finds the end zone at least once when the backups come in, mark it down.

45-21

Tennessee, 52 to 10. Neyland handles its business and everybody goes home happy before the Texas game gets here.

52-10
