Preview

Tennessee won with a last second Hail Mary last week at Georgia, moving to 5-0 for the season. Four of those five wins came after trailing by a double digit margin early in the game. They will try to get off to a better start here at College Station, as coming back against a Texas A&M defense that ranks among the best in the country, might prove to be a daunting task. The Aggies are 5-0 for the third straight season, but in each of the last two years they struggled in the second half of the season. Things could be different this year, with Trevor Knight leading a much more balanced offense.  The public isn’t buying it, and the majority of bettors are taking the points. According to Covers.com Consensus Analysis, 61 percent of bettors are backing the Vols.  If the Vols are going to pull off the upset here, they’ll likely have to do it without their leading rusher. Jalen Hurd is not expected to play this Saturday, as he’s nursing a lower body injury.
