November 14th vs. North Texas
Daniel: It’s natural to think that Tennessee, coming off six SEC games, and with a potentially important game in the SEC East race against Missouri coming up the next week, could have a hard time getting up for this one. This will be the first time since 2012 that Tennessee has played a non-conference foe in the second-half of the schedule – a time that, if Tennessee is as improved as many predict, the Vols will be thinking about their positioning in the SEC East. There’s a lot of margin for error in this one, but it will be interesting to see if UT goes out and slams the door early or lets North Texas stick around a bit. Regardless, it’s a fairly comfortable win for the Vols against a Mean Green team that took a step back in 2014 after showing promise in 2013. Winner: Volunteers
Houston: A nice game to regroup and get healthy before traveling to Missouri for another SEC East showdown. Look for the Vols to rest some guys and play a lot of freshman in a dominating performance against the Mean Green. There really isn’t much to this game…Tennessee can name the score. Winner: Volunteers
Reed: Like the Western Carolina game earlier in the season, this one is in a great spot. The Vols will be coming off three tough SEC games and will need a breather before heading to Missouri. The Vols are 0-1 against North Texas thanks to an improbable 21-14 loss back in 1975. Tennessee will get revenge in a big way. Winner: Volunteers
