Crucial matchups
Tennessee center and guards vs. Brian Price and Reggie Carter—This very active defensive tackle and the veteran senior middle linebacker are the two primary run stoppers on the Bruin defense. Somebody had better get a hat on Carter or he will fill holes very quickly. Price may require a double team block when running plays are designed to be in his general vicinity.
Taylor Embree vs. Vol corners--- Embree is a big receiver at 6-3, 210. You just about have to figure that Chow will try to isolate Embree against Marsalous Johnson 5-9, 185. Of course, Eric Berry will be lurking, but Chow will attempt to “run him away” from the play with a crossing pattern or a tight end/fullback out in the route.
Chris Walker vs. Xavier Su’a Filo (6-4, 315)—The Bruins freshman left tackle will have his hands full with the fast and quick Walker on passing downs. Walker had one sack last week in about two and a half quarters of action. Anyone for a hat trick this Saturday?
Daniel Lincoln vs. Kai Forbath—Two of the top kickers in college football square off here. A three for three day by either kicker gives his team a much better opportunity to grab the W.
Monte Kiffin vs. Norm Chow (Kevin Prince)--- The UCLA freshman quarterback will be making only his second collegiate start in front of a hostile crowd in Knoxville. Monte Kiffin wants to rattle him early with withering pressure, but Chow will probably counter with some quick three step drops and roll outs. Chow might also try to negate UT’s speed on defense with draw plays and quick screens. One of the premiere coaching matchups this season occurs in this contest.
Joker in the deck—Ed Orgeron does not like UCLA. He will have his defensive linemen wired up in a fit of frenzy on Saturday afternoon. The game could very well be decided here, Tennessee’s defensive front vs. the Bruins offensive line.
