Tennessee vs Mississippi State Preview | Can the Vols Silence the Cowbells in Starkville?

In this episode of The Vol Patriot Podcast, we break down Tennessee’s upcoming SEC matchup against Mississippi State in Starkville. With the Vols favored by just over a touchdown, there are big questions that remain:

  • Can Tennessee’s defense, especially the secondary, step up on the road?
  • Will Tim Banks make the necessary adjustments in his play calling?
  • Can Josh Heupel keep the offense aggressive for four quarters?
  • Key players to watch: Joey Aguilar, Star Thomas, Deshawn Bishop, Peyton Lewis, Chris Brazzell, and defensive leaders like Arian Carter and Jeremiah Teelander.
  • Mississippi State’s weapons: QB Blake Shapen, speedy WRs Brendan Thompson & Anthony Evans, and a dangerous safety unit.
  • We also cover the latest injury updates, what Vegas betting lines are saying, and our score predictions. This is the game where Tennessee must silence the cowbells early, keep their foot on the gas, and prove they can dominate both sides of the ball.
