The Tennessean Picks Volunteers Over Bruins

By John Wooden 

 

Niels Bohr — the famous Danish physicist — observed: “Prediction is very difficult, especially if it’s about the future.”

… Which is why WOC loves predictions — the bolder the better. But, of course, a prediction is only as good as its accuracy.

Surprise, surprise. Bryan Mullen — a staff writer for The Tennessean — has picked the Tennessee Volunteers to beat the UCLA Bruins. The Vols and Bruins play Monday night at the Rose Bowl. Mullen writes:

UT at UCLA, Sept. 1: The Bruins will be in over their heads. UT’s defense is much steadier heading into this season, and quarterback Jonathan Crompton just has to manage the game, not win it on his own. Projection: UT 27, UCLA 17.

 

Prediction Accuracy: UCLA defeated Tennessee 27-24 in overtime.
