Thinking about the 2001 VOLS still pisses me off to this day. Arguably the most talented team in our history and all we got out of it was a fricking Capitol One Bowl win.
I know. You guys were the only team that could match up with Miami athlete per athlete. I don't even think UF could that year.
It's like the players and coaches didn't even prepare for LSU at all. NOt talking about Mauck, but offensively as well. Took the SECCG for granted.

It's sickening when I look at the roster we had in 2001 and NFL talent was just all over the place.

Yep. So unprepared and was still riding too high off of the Florida victory just a week earlier. I've never seen a championship caliber team look as baffled as Tennessee did that night after they knocked Davey and Toefield out of the game.
They made more stupid mistakes on both sides of the ball during that game than they had all season combined. Stephens had a crucial fumble, Stallworth fumbled late when we were driving and had a chance at retaking the lead. Greer dropped an easy INT. And we had a freaking NFL front 7, yet UT couldn't stop a QB draw that featured a guy that went on to be a dentist.
Easily the most infuriating loss I've witnessed.
