Monday Night: No. 18 Tennessee at UCLA (plus 7.5)

Tennessee leads the series 7-4-2. 1997 was the last time these teams met and Tennessee won 30-24..

Rick Neuheisel and Norm Chow will make their debuts with UCLA. Neuheisel as head coach and Chow, the former USC quarterback’s coach, as offensive coordinator. Unfortunately for the Bruins not even all of that genius can prevent injury. UCLA lost quarterbacks Patrick Cowan and Ben Olson to injury. That means a junior college transfer, Kevin Craft, gets the nod against the Volunteers.

Look for Tennessee to make amends for last season’s opening road loss against Cal. Running back Arian Foster, wide receiver Lucas Taylor and Tennessee’s defense will be the keys to a Volunteer victory.

Tennessee 35, UCLA 17
