Tennessee vs Auburn: The DIFFERENCE in Vols vs Tigers is NOT What You Think! · SEC Football Addiction

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Talked about Knoxville to start this thing up. We'll go
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: back there now. Auburn at Tennessee in the SEC this weekend.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Do the Vols bounce back? They'll get on you if
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: you pronounce that wrong. But do the Vols bounce back, Cole?
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: This is presented by PrizePix.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: What you got?
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: I think this is a good game plan to be
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: able to kind of learn on from your mistakes last week.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: Let's get this out of the way. A defense like
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: Texas that has a player like Colin Simmons, that has
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: a secondary that has been playing out of its mind,
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: a good linebacking core that knows how to blitz, is
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: going to be a recipe for disaster against any average
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: offensive line with a young quarterback being forced to win
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: the football game. That's just it. I mean, like, I
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: hate to be that guy, but that's really where you are,
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: is that they were always going to be able to
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: get after Faison Brandon. And I even said in the preview,
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: if you're going to win this football game, it's probably
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: going to have to come off of Faison Brandon doing
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: Faison Brandon things against an elite defense. They weren't able to.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: They gave up 10 sacks. They were 12 tackles for loss.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: Here's the good news. Auburn is a good defense. A very, very,
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: very good defense. They're not as good as Texas. So
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: this is an opportunity for you to be able to
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: continue your rapport by building a connection with the receivers.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: If Faison Brandon is going to have to step on
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: up and make some big time plays, then I think
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: that you will have your opportunities against this secondary. And
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: I think that you also will be going up against
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: a team that doesn't have as many as explosive receivers
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: as a Ryan Wingo or a Cam Coleman and still
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: has questionable quarterback play. even though Arch, up to this
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: point in the season, has been very questionable with his
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: quarterback play. One thing that I'm looking for in this
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: matchup is, is there any way that you can establish
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: the run, just make life a little bit more easy
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: for Faison Brandon? They bottled up both Dwayne Morris and
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Deshaun Bishop and made that offense one-dimensional. I think that
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: has more to do with the offensive line than it
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: does with the actual running backs, but still... Can you
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: force it to be second and six, second and five,
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: gain four and a half yards of play, just making
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: life a little bit more manageable for what you want
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: to do with the offensive personnel? I think on the
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: flip side, can you get pressure on Byron Brown and
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: force him to stay in the before he has to
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: break on out to either side of the corner. Because
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: the thing that we aren't talking enough about is that
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Tennessee's defense did a good job of taking away the
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: run for Texas outside of the red zone and getting
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: pressure on Arch Manning. They had six sacks. They had
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: 10 tackles for loss. They did a really nice job
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: of playing within structure and and forcing a lot of
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: tough plays against Texas' offense. And I think Texas' offense
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: is mildly better than what you have in Auburn's offense
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: at this point. So can you force those opportunities? I
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: think that getting interceptions and forcing some deep shots down
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: the field where a K and Lee can make a
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: big-time grab. or Aquam Moss making a big time play
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: is detrimental to this. And we've seen Byron Brown, when
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: forced to play in structure and has to throw it,
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: will throw in a double coverage and it will lead
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: to turnover. So that's really important.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: To this game.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: I think the one thing that I really want to
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: see if I am a Tennessee fan is that the
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: offensive play design with Josh Heupel is a little bit
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: more creative that gives us an opportunity to make plays.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: I think if there is a This is not fair
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: because I do think that Josh Heupel has been a phenomenal,
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: phenomenal hire for Tennessee. But I do understand Evolve fans
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: at this point are a little underwhelmed with how the
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: teams have gone. It's his offense. It's his ideologies. It's
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: his personnel. It's more specifically, it's his team with his
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: players that And you're not getting the 10 wins. You're
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: getting the eight wins. Can you get a quarterback that
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: fits your system to a tee, be able to kind
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: of show that he will win you football games? And
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: just for good measure, you're going up against a former
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: protege in Alex Golish, who was the offensive coordinator for
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Josh Heupel before he took the job at South Florida.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: So everything that he learned about running an offense is
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: derivative from what a guy like Josh Heupel does. So
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: you should know that offense from the ins and outs
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: and be able to attack it in so many different ways.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: I think that's something that you're going to have to
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: look forward to in this matchup. And can you get
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Faison Brand into playing when you thought that maybe he
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: waited a little bit too long to find a Braylon Staley?
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Maybe go ahead and just get that ball out a
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: little bit faster. Have a quicker trigger. Like you do
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: realize that you're going to have an opportunity to make
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: some plays downfield. And with the game being in Neyland,
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: I think that does bode well in your favor.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I'll get right back to this clip from the Power
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: 2 on College Football Addiction. But first, I want to
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: tell you, we picked everything that you see right now.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you, we all took the more on Jaden
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Ball's touchdowns. We all took the more on Jeremiah Smith's touchdowns.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: We all took the more on Jeremiah Smith and Jaden
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Ball's rushing slash receiving totals that they have there.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: We took the more on Malachi Toney.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I took the less on Ryan Coleman Williams. So go
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: check out the show. You can hear what our live
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: predictions were. You can hear our thought process behind all
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: of them. And then go get on the Price Picks app.

• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and win using that code HMA only make sure that
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: you are on the price picks app.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: All right, now back to the clip. I want to
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: see this, the bounce back.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: You know, I know we get into the weeds of
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: matchups and things, but I do think from a big picture,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: we talk about the, the way that teams respond to
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: an emotional letdown teams do.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: That in different ways. And, um, you know, I honestly
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: thought Ole Miss responded well.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: To an emotional win, but, um, or emotional win against LSU,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: and I thought they responded fairly well. It didn't look
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: to me like they were not focused or their mind
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: was too focused on last week.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: They just couldn't hold up.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Against Florida late in that game when Florida scored 21
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: or 17 in the fourth quarter to really drive the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: stake in further. I thought that when you look at
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: what LSU did against A & M, who is also
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: like a wounded animal, they responded well from their, their loss.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: And they put that wounded animal down.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: And didn't, didn't mess around with it. I think Tennessee
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: is the better team here, but I, I know how
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: easy it is for programs to get up when you're
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: playing the number one team in the country and the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: president's coming to town and every celebrity that's ever been
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: involved with Tennessee or Texas is in town.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: And then they invite me to town and everything.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I'm just playing.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: But when all that is going on, it's easy.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Tennessee, can you do it without me there? it's easy
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: to get up for them. Can you get up for
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the Auburns? If Tennessee gets up for this game and
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: they play anywhere close to the level of defense that
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: they played against Texas, they'll be in great shape in
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: this game. It'll take less pressure. It'll take some of
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the pressure off of Brandon. It'll take some of the
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: pressure off of that offense. I'm interested to see what
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: they get back from... Offensive line health is a question.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: That offensive line I thought was one of the better
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: ones in the SEC. It certainly didn't look like it
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: on Saturday. But again, Auburn's defensive front, certainly not Texas's,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: which has four first-rounders on it.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: So.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: That's a big question to me, is how do they
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: bounce back? I think they'll bounce back well. I think
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Tennessee wins this thing. I think they win somewhat comfortably.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Spreads like 7, right?
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I think they win by 10. Give me like 24-14, Tennessee.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: I also think lower scoring, because I think it's going
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: to be a defensive battle a little bit. I think
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Faison Brand and I trust more to get back going,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: and if it's Josh Heupel being like, hey, let's get
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: this out quicker, let's have a quicker trigger to the
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: points that Cole was saying, if it's maybe one read
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: and takeoff, something like that, just to give the guys
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: some confidence, I think, moving forward. So I'm curious to
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: see what they do there. I'm curious to see if
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: they can get the running game going consistently against Auburn.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: I think they can, but it feels like a bit
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: of a coin flip when it comes to that. I
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: was really impressed by the Tennessee defense against Texas. And granted,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Texas' offense has not exactly played up to the level
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: that we were all expecting them to. But I came
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: out of that game thinking stock up for Tennessee, stock
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: down for Texas, even though Texas is the number one
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: team in the country. So I'm excited about what Tennessee
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: can do. I actually disagree with Cole. I think nine
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: or ten wins is plausible for Tennessee this year if
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: they can grow from these experiences, if they can grow
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: from the experience they just had against Texas, because you're
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: going to be in a handful of games where it's
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: going to be a coin flip. Third Saturday in October,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: if Tennessee starts to build momentum against Alabama– That's going
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: to be a coin flip. The LSU game, if the
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Tigers do not have their health, Tennessee is going to
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: have a chance in that. It's going to be a
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: puncher's chance. So I'm really excited to see where the
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: remainder of the season goes for Tennessee. Like I've said
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: a bunch of times, I feel like on this show,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know where the points come from for Auburn offensively.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: It's going to be something where you're going to have
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: to rely on your defense to get you the ball back.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: And you really got to take your time offensively and
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: keep the ball out of Faison Brandon's hands. and try
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: and get Byron Brown in that running game going consistently
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: to make life difficult for the Vols. But still, I
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: like Tennessee to win in more convincing fashion, honestly. I'm
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: going to say 30-17 in this. And I think Tennessee
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: bounces back from Texas. I think that was a building
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: block game for them. Curious to see where Faison Brandon
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: is at health-wise. The fact that he came back into
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: that game showed a lot of toughness. But I'm excited
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: to see what he looks like after a week to, quote-unquote, recover.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Okay, so I... I actually do think Tennessee can get
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: to 10 wins this year. I don't know if they will,
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: but I think they can. It's just that right now
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: we are seeing more of an 8-win campaign underneath Josh Heupel,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: not those 10 wins that he had when he first
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: got there. That being said, here's the main reason why
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: I go with Auburn. I mean, here's the reason I
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: go with Tennessee. In every single defensive category right now,
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: with a first-year coordinator, Auburn is worse. Tennessee is better
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: in every single one. They're 55th in run defense. Auburn
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: is like 68th. In pass coverage, they're 31st. Auburn's like 118th.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: In third down conversions, Tennessee is like 17. I believe
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Auburn is like 48 or something along those lines. Don't
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: quote me on that one. I'm just kind of trying
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: to pull that one out real fast. I just feel
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: like that there's more to know that even though it
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: is a brand new defense, it has looked more clean
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: at times. Now, I don't know if the rushing attack
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: will be there for Deshaun Bishop and Dwayne Morris because
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: this is a damn good linebacking core, but I do
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: think that Faison Brandon will give you a reason why
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: to believe in Tennessee long-term. And I just can't see
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: that right now with Byron Brown. And you give me
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: the fact that I know that Josh Heupel understands the
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: ins and outs of an Alex Golas offense because it's
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: like looking in a freaking mirror from what he did
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: when he first started. I'm actually going to go exactly
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: with Tom. I'm going to go 31-17. I think this
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: is going to be an absolutely great game. big time
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: game for the passing attack to really kind of set
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: the tone moving forward going into the month of October.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: You copycat.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: I am. Sometimes copying works.
