The first of a handful of swing games is here — Tennessee will head north to face Pittsburgh on Saturday afternoon (3:30 p.m. ET, ABC). It’s a top 25 matchup, with the Volunteers sneaking into the AP Poll at No. 24, and the Panthers holding steady at No. 17.
Pittsburgh won this game in Knoxville last year in a wild one. Can the Volunteers take care of business this time around? Here are our staff picks.
Terry Lambert: Tennessee 38, Pittsburgh 30
I can’t get last year’s game out of my head. Tennessee was head and shoulders better athletically than Pittsburgh was, but Joe Milton couldn’t buy a completion down the field.
