Episode 134: Between The Blowouts

GoVols247's Wes Rucker, Patrick Brown and Ryan Callahan went into Fort Rucker Studio to break down Tennessee's blowout win over East Tennessee and look forward to ... well ... a likely blowout win over UTEP. Tennessee hoped to use the ETSU/UTEP portion of the schedule as a time to take mistakes from the season-opening game against West Virginia and clean them up before the SEC opener against longtime Eastern Division rival Florida. So far, so good on that front. The Vols took care of business in a big way (59-3) against ETSU, and they'll likely do the same thing against a UTEP that opened the season with a 30-10 loss to NCAA Division I FCS opponent Northern Arizona and then took the business end of a blowout loss at UNLV. Much can be learned from any game, though, and this episode focuses on the things we learned from the win over the Buccaneers and things we might see against the Miners on Saturday. Who is underperforming? Who is exceeding expectations? Who is doing what we thought they would do? Why is Grant Ramey avoiding the podcast? There are many questions, and this episode provides many answers.
