As it relates to season openers and our new roster... that goes both ways.  In 2005, GRob lost to West Virginia 15-7.  I think that was before Pat White became fulltime QB.  And they would finish 11-1.  If 10-37 GRob could keep it close in his first game ever... I am thinking we can catch Tennessee down in an opener too.  Maybe they will be starting the wrong QB for half the season.

2013 Syracuse lost to Penn State in NJ.  Drew Allen, who would not last at QB, had the ball with a few minutes to go and a chance to drive for a winning TD.  Game-ending interception.  While that was a team that would go bowling, it also gave up 212 points in losses to NW, Clemson, Ga Tech, and Florida (scoring 44).  Shafer's first game.

I think beating Tennessee is definitely on the table.  I think it is the MOST winnable of the non-home games because it is an opener and neutral, and they do not have much film to go off of on us.  Of course, neither do we.  And if we come out flat... that will not end the season either.
