What’s expected to be the largest crowd in football history is set to witness the Battle of Bristol this Saturday when our beloved Tennessee Vols face Virginia Tech.The game will take place at Bristol Motor Speedway, a venue normally reserved for race cars. The Vols are hoping to overcome a flat tire of a performance in their season opener against Appalachian State, a game where they crashed early but won 20-13 in OT.Virginia Tech had a much easier time in its opener against a not-so-good Liberty team. The Hokie defense forced four turnovers during a 36-13 victory.Odds makers have established the Vols as a 10.5-point favorite, meaning they either didn’t watch the Appalachian State game or they aren’t putting much stock in it.The biggest question mark surrounding the Vols is QB Joshua Dobbs, who always draws praise for his intelligence.
