Josh Heupel's Tennessee opens his second season as head coach against Ball State inside Neyland Stadium on Thursday night.
The game is on a Thursday night. The game will be about Tennessee's high-powered offense and their defense. Ball State doesn't pose much of a threat for Tennessee. If Tennessee can come in and execute their game plan, they should win.
Ball State is coming off a 6-7 season and lost some important pieces from their second straight bowl team. John Paddock replaces Drew Plitt at quarterback for Ball State. Tennessee's offense was dominant in opening quarters last season. Ball state's secondary has question marks.
