The 2012 version of the Volunteers will be heading to Starkville, Mississippi today to face the Bulldogs of Mississippi State Saturday, in what could be the turning point in their season. The Vols have history on their side winning the last 6 match ups and have not lost since 1994 to the Bull Dogs. The number 19 ranked Mississippi State comes in 5-0 and has posted two wins against SEC rivals Auburn and Kentucky, both struggling teams. Their other wins were patsy games, played against the likes of Jackson St, Troy and So. Alabama. It matches the three patsies the Vols beat up to get their wins. In SEC competition State is 2-0 and the Vols or 0-2 loosing to Florida and Georgia.
Coach Dooley needs a victory over an SEC rival this Saturday. The Vols have yet to beat a ranked team in the Dooley era and for him to stay in Knoxville he must turn the tied and a victory in Starkville maybe only thing that stops Dooley from getting the boosters and boo birds off his back.
Both the Bull Dogs and the Volunteers have potent offenses and porous defenses. The Vols are giving up over 425 yards per game and State comes in giving up almost 100 yards less. This game may come down to who scores last. I look for a high scoring game with very little defense.
Lets Go Big Orange
