WHAT'S GIVEN YOU SO MUCH TROUBLE VS. TENNESEEE
The past is the past
Kudos to them for winning those games
But this will be different

THE RIVALRY
Growing up here you see a lot of orange but not much black
Growing up here everyone talked TN this, TN that
The rivalry is deep in his family, he's had family members play ball there

THE RUN DEFENSE
They have a great OL, one of the best RBs in the country
They have freaky athletes like the other teams they've played
They'll bring their A game

THE SUCCESS THIS YEAR
His Sr. year of HS, they hadn't been good, had a chance to transfer to Oakland
But he grew up with his class
His class broke the 43-year losing streak
So it's been rewarding that he chose to stay here
Season's not over. They have this and the bowl game
Not a lot of people can relate to that

FINISHING WITH WINNING RECORD
That prize is out there
Their goal is to get that no matter who they play

LONG PLAYS OVER THE TOP, THEY HAVEN'T GIVEN UP MANY
Coach Rice makes sure they're in the right place
Playing with De'Rickey helps, he's intelligent and helps him out on the field getting him where he needs to be
It's not hard to be in structure
They have talented players
