A sold out Neyland Stadium. A Tennessee football team fresh off back-to-back SEC wins. A No. 13 ranked Ole Miss team led by former Tennessee head coach Lane Kiffin. Bad blood, good offenses. Saturday’s game will have it all, so to speak.
It’s interesting to think that this contest was once considered a likely Ole Miss victory. Nobody in the preseason would have picked Tennessee to win this one. But it has now become a coin flip game. Part of that is a resurgent Tennessee squad, while the other part is an Ole Miss team struggling to find balance.
