I follow TN closely as I am from there and have several contacts around the program. You are correct in TN playing well when Fulmer's back is against the wall. However, this TN team lacks talent and size on the Defensive line as compared to years past. The linebacking corps are down a bit too and tackling has been a problem this year. Nutt is no walsh or Lambardi but even he has enough sense to pound them with the best running back in college football. Names being thrown around in Knoxville for Fulmer's replacement include Bob Stoops(which I don't think would happen) and John Gruden who bought a house in Maryville which is just outside of Knoxville. (That's where his wife's family is. They met there when she was a cheerleader and Gruden was a grad asst.) I do expect a strong effort out of TN this week but it won't be enough.
