When it comes to Tennessee football fans, they can be delusional like any other fan base. However, I put them in a different category than others. Rocky Top can be objective AND overly optimistic at the same time.
Vols fans will acknowledge if their team has weaknesses anywhere. But they’ll follow that up by looking for reasons they’ll be able to overcome it. Such is the case with their season-opener against the West Virginia Mountaineers.
Most people acknowledge that WVU has the better team. Dana Holgorsen has a group loaded with star power coming off a 7-6 campaign and looking to take a huge step forward.
