Tennessee football takes on the East Tennessee State Buccanneers on Saturday. This will be the first home game of 2018, and we have some bold predictions for the game.

For the first time in Tennessee football history, the Volunteers will play host to the East Tennessee State Buccaneers. After a dreadful 40-14 loss to the Mountaineers, the Vols look to bounce back and get into the win column for the first time in the 2018 season.

Every year these types of games are on the schedule. On paper, the Vols are bigger, faster, stronger, and just flat out better. There is entirely no way ETSU should leave Neyland Stadium with a win. God, please no, I do not want to see Randy Sanders walk home naked.

If you haven’t heard, former Vol himself, and now head coach of the Bucs, Randy Sanders, said he would walk home naked if his ETSU team beat Tennessee on Saturday. If that happened, I see that situation being one where you don’t want to look, but you can’t stop.

However, I don’t think that is a realistic possibility. I suppose you never can genuinely count out any team. Look at what Appalachian State did to Penn State this past weekend. Despite James Franklin and Penn State sneaking out a win in overtime, Appalachian State should have won.

In this post, we are going to give you four bold predictions for the game that we could see happening. We begin our slideshow with one of the most questionable positions on the team, the offensive line.
