A 7-6 season in year one was considered a pretty successful campaign for Josh Heupel in year one. Now, what will he do for an encore with the bulk of his starters back? Tennessee’s win total sits at 7.5, and most think they can get to that eight win mark. Games against Ball State, Akron, UT-Martin, Vanderbilt are viewed as layups, while matchups against South Carolina and Missouri are expected wins.
What’s that leave? Of course you’ve got extremely tough games against Alabama and Georgia — and then you’ve got four true swing games that really could go either way.
