Both teams come into this game with new QB's and new coordinators on offense. At first glance it might look like both offenses will struggle, but if you look at last years Tennessee team on the road you will see that their defense just never showed up for any of those games. The Vols QB situation is not as bad as UCLA's. Tennessee has a great offensive line which should take pressure off Jonathan Crompton and allow them to run the ball. UCLA will start Kevin Craft who was supposed to be their third stringer. Kraft is trapped in the 90's and looks a lot like Vanilla Ice, but does have starting QB experience at San Diego State and has the luxury of being coached by an offensive genius in Norm Chow. New UCLA head coach Rick Neuheisel was a former UCLA QB and I expect big things from this offense this year. Both starting QB's might gift wrap us a nice INT for a TD and when the game is at double zero the scoring should be enough to cash the ticket. Take the Over.
