It's becoming a new annual tradition for the Tennessee Volunteers, it is Dark Mode week! We first break down the victory against Kentucky and discuss how terrifying it must be to play against the Volunteer offense. Then we breakdown why the Tennessee defense continues to give us nightmares. We talk about Oklahoma as they try to navigate the darkness of playing in Neyland Stadium. Oklahoma's offense is not scary, but can Tennessee put enough fear into the Sooners? Or will the Vols defense go pumpkin mode again? Oklahoma's defense is a monster to deal with...but Tennessee might have enough tricks to treat Vol fans to fireworks on Saturday. We also give score predictions that might get Zack kicked out of the Halloween party. In Around the NCAA, Brian Kelly's house of horrors finally came crashing down after a thunderstorm of criticism. In "The Diatribe", Daniel & Zack tell reporters they don't need to share every piece of candy they get with a text message during the coaching carousel. Finally, we discuss how spooky the season can turn for either Oklahoma or Tennessee with a loss.
