Game Preview: Alabama Vs. Tennessee
October 22, 2008
By Terry Pellman (TerryP)
Before the 2008 season started I didn’t think Tennessee would have a great year on the gridiron. I suspected when David Cutcliffe took the Duke head coaching job that the Volunteer offense would feel the effects. When I added in things like the loss of Ainge at Quarterback along with a few of their other coaches moving on to other teams I could easily see the recipe for a mediocre season.
In Tennessee’s case, a mediocre season is defined by not competing for the SEC Eastern Division. It’s emphasized by games like their losses to divisional rivals in Georgia and Florida.
However, when you have a good majority of the fan base calling for a head coaching change, when you have an abundance of tickets still left available the week of the Alabama game you know things aren’t going well. In fact, they are going so badly using the adjective “mediocre” to describe their season is being complimentary.
