One Reason Why Indiana State Will Win

Just how much does Tennessee have in the tank?

Not only do the Volunteers have to try to get over a short week following an overtime game against an option team whose blocking scheme is a bear to get over, but they’ll be looking ahead – at least a little bit – to Florida coming up next.

No, the Sycamores don’t have a dangerous running attack, but after getting hit for 535 yards and six scores by the Yellow Jackets, the Vols now have to deal with Lemonte Booker, who ran for 154 yards and a score against Eastern Illinois.

One Reason Why Tennessee Will Win

For the second straight game, Tennessee is facing an offensively-challenged offense that won’t be able to move the ball down the field.

Georgia Tech is at least efficient – Indiana State struggled against Eastern Illinois, with the two quarterbacks combining to go 7-of-19 for 133 yards with a touchdown and a pick. As long as the Vol D takes care of Booker, there won’t be an issue.

What’s Going To Happen

This game is all about finding receivers to step up with Jauan Jennings out for a few weeks with a wrist injury. Marquez Callaway was the breakout star against Georgia Tech, but the Vols could use more options for QB Quinten Dormady to work with. It’s exactly why you schedule Indiana State before facing Florida.
