The Vols get a bit of a breather this week with Memphis coming to town and the worst of their brutal SEC schedule behind them. However, regardless of records or ability, Memphis always seems to play UT close. Maybe it’s the fact that everyone on the Tigers’ roster would have leapt at the opportunity to play for Tennessee. Nonetheless, the Vols are a 25.5-point favorite entering the contest and should wind handily. Look for the Vols to give their young players plenty of work, in particular Nu’Keese Richardson, who has been upset with his role in the offense. Saturday’s game will be a great opportunity to tweak the offense and have it running in top form before they attempt to finish off the month of November without a loss and thus go bowling somewhere warm and sunny come January.
