  • On the season, Wilson has 100 carries with 418 yards on the ground. Surprisingly his completion percentage is hovering around 70 percent. He is 123-of-182 for 1,214 yards with six touchdowns with six interceptions.

    As bad as he has been, Wilson has thrown for back-to-back 200-plus games. He threw for 267 yards against Missouri with one touchdown with one interception.

    If Tennessee can stop Benny Snell, Wilson will have to be the one to win the game. Tennessee’s defense has shown it can play good enough to win games.

    And, with the offense struggling recently it will be important for the defense to play well.

    If Wilson plays well, the game could get out of hand because that would mean Benny Snell and the running attack is making a difference. This will be an intriguing matchup to watch throughout the game.
