Ohio @ Tennessee

The last time Frank Solich played the Vols he beat us pretty badly. The #3 Nebraska Cornhuskers bested the #5 Volunteers in the 2000 Fiesta Bowl. It was even worse when we played his team a couple years before that. But now he is the head coach of the visiting Ohio Bobcats, a team best known for a strong secondary that excels at shutting down the pass. Not something to overlook since Tennessee coaches seem hell-bent on improving our passing game this week. This match-up might be closer than most fans expect. Join us at the Tavern Saturday to watch the Volunteers! Kickoff @ 5:00 PM!!! It's on PPV, but the Tavern has it!
