This should actually be a good game, and watching Lamar Jackson is usually entertaining.

Gameday, October 7

Vols are off, and if you don’t have a Harvest Moon festival to go to, here’s a chance to catch a few good games and get an early look at a few future opponents for the Vols.

Saturday, October 7, 2017
Game Time (ET) TV Why How Root for
(5) Georgia at Vanderbilt Noon ESPN Future opponent Live Discuss
LSU at (22) Florida 3:30 PM CBS Future opponent Channel hop LSU
(23) West Virginia at (8) TCU 3:30 PM FS1 Big game DVR An entertaining game
Arkansas at South Carolina 4:00 PM SECN Future opponent Channel hop Arkansas
(1) Alabama at Texas A&M 7:15 PM ESPN Future opponent DVR Texas A&M
Missouri at Kentucky 7:30 PM SECN Future opponent Live Discuss

 

Noon slot

Georgia travels to Nashville to take on Vanderbilt at noon. Georgia’s not losing four SEC games this year, so I’m hoping that they look as good against the Commodores as they did against the Vols. I can see an argument for not wanting them to do anything that makes it easier for them to continue to recruit well, but that’s what I’m hoping for at this time.

Afternoon slot

At 3:30, former opponent Florida hosts future opponent LSU, and I’m rooting for LSU, not because I think the Vols can catch them (although, maybe?), but because I just don’t want them to have nice things. I’m also rooting for Arkansas against South Carolina at 4:00. There’s a game between ranked teams in this slot as well, so if you prefer that, have at it.

Evening slot

Alabama takes on Texas A&M at 7:15 and figures to have its way with them, and then two future Vols opponents meet in Lexington as Missouri matches up against Kentucky. Not sure who to pull for in that one, but I guess I’m leaning Missouri.
