Kansas vs Tennessee Tech Game Preview

Why Tennessee Tech Will Win

Tennessee Tech has enough good skill parts for Kansas to worry about.

Getting QB Jeremiah Oatsvall from Memphis – he’s going into his sixth season of college football – is a major plus with his all-around game. RB David Gist and WR Quinton Cross are among the best at their respective positions in the Ohio Valley Conference – the O will be stronger this year.

The Golden Eagles are once again going to be good at controlling the tempo, owning the clock, and relying on a good run defense to get by. But …

– Week 1 Expert Picks, Thursday & Friday

Why Kansas Will Win

The Tennessee Tech offense will be better, but it’s not going to crank up the big numbers.

Even with Oatsvall, the downfield passing game isn’t going to be there – last year’s O only scored more than 28 points once – and on the other side, the pass rush isn’t going to be anything special.

The Kansas offensive line should be solid in pass protection, the linebacking corps will be a boost to an improved defense, and …

What’s Going To Happen

Kansas should finally have an easy win.

Never put anything past how hard things are for Kansas as it tries to get going, but this should be the best the program has been for years. If all goes according to plan, this will be the first time it comes up with a double-digit win since beating Boston College 48-24 on September 13th, 2019.

Tennessee Tech will bring the fight – especially against the run – but the offense won’t be able to do enough after the Jayhawks score on their first two drives.

Tony Vitello recaps Tennessee’s performance using wood bats against Tennessee Tech at Smokies Stadium.

No. 1 Tennessee (31-2, 12-0 SEC) lost to Tennessee Tech (18-12, 2-4 OVC), 3-2, Tuesday at Smokies Stadium in Kodak, Tennessee.

Smokies Stadium is home of the Chicago Cubs’ Double-A affiliate Tennessee Smokies.

“Give credit to Tennessee Tech for how they played,” Tennessee head coach Tony Vitello said following the game. “We got beat, regardless of where we were playing or what bats we were using.”

Tuesday’s game was played with wood bats.

Vitello further discussed Tennessee’s performance playing with wood bats.

“I think what you’re going to get out of the bats is someone’s not going to pop a cheap one,” Vitello said. “You may get a few more slower hit ground balls. It’s going to downscale the score of the game, so, to me, maybe you can make the argument, there’s aluminum in your hands, you lose 6-5, instead of what it was.

“The approach was not very good, and overall, there was just decisions, starting for me, scattered throughout the game. Players and coaches probably would like to go back and redo it, but you don’t get to do that.”
