App State matched their sixth ranked rushing attack with a stellar defense that ranked twenty-seventh or higher in all major defensive categories in 2015.
Tennessee Volunteers
Enough cannot be said about the Volunteers, they return a talented group of athletes on offense composed of quarterback Joshua Dobbs, running backs Jalen Hurd and Alvin Camara and wide-out Josh Malone.
Defensively, Tennessee may have the best defensive end in America in Derrick Barnett, as well as a standout ballhawk in defensive back Cameron Sutton.
Tennessee nonetheless despite their hype had numerous games they should have won slip through their hands in 2015.
They were winning against Alabama and they found a way to be stifled.

Additionally, the Vols led by two possession against Arkansas, Florida and Oklahoma in to the fourth quarter and once again came up with a loss.
With this being considered, Tennessee will have to determine whether or not they will be their own worst enemy in 2016.

Tennessee will look to make an example of Appalachian State. There has been a lot of revelry sent the Volunteers’ way in the pre-season only to be followed up by a lack of faith in the opening week market itself.
The hype can be solidified and the excitement can be considered warranted if Tennessee win by the forecast and thus the Vols will look to capitalize.

This game has Tennessee written all over it. Appalachian State is a tremendously talented outfit but when placed against a top-class opponent on the road, we saw the Mountaineers’ true colors exposed.
App State may once again go on to win ten games this season but this contest will be a loss as they open their 2016 campaign in a hostile environment against a superior opponent in Tennessee.
