The War Room indicated all the pressure is on Tennessee to win this game. I completely disagree. Everybody outside of Tennessee fans is expecting Oklahoma to win tomorrow. All the national pundits, while agreeing Tennessee has improved, also agree with Brent that the Vols just don't have enough yet to hang with a team like Oklahoma -- who, by the way, really isn't all that impressive outside of the typical hype they receive.
Personally, I think the national consensus is rubbish, and it would be nice to see Tennessee come out tomorrow a little bit angry and ready to show everybody they have what it takes to compete at an elite level. In my mind, the difference between winning and losing tomorrow is 100% about the attitude the Vols bring to the field. No offense to Brent, but if they come in with his perspective, they will lose even though they have plenty of talent to get the job done. I'm going to go out on a limb and say Butch has his team ready to play at a very high level with a nasty attitude.
