The Tennessee Volunteers get their first real test of the season in Saturday’s showdown at Neyland Stadium against the Pittsburgh Panthers.
You look at Tennessee and they have a new head coach that is still trying to implement new systems including 5 new recruits. Pittsburgh is great at stopping the run and has a great defense. Tenn lost a lot of players to transfers and they are rebuilding with a new coach and it will take time.
You have a Pittsburgh team that is stacked offensively and brings back 8 of 11 starters on offense. They key player on offense is 5 year returning QB Kenny Picket who ranks #5 in team history with 8256 passing yards. I think there is a reason Pittsburgh is favored on the road vs Tennessee and we'll back them on Saturday afternoon.
