re: LSU, FSU, and Tennessee all have more talented players

Tuttle came on a little later in the year and when UTs schedule was weak...Dobbs has colorblindness, Barnett is good but hasnt wowed in big games, Hurd is upright runner and goes down too easy, Kamara is better.

Maybe you dont realize who WE have? Caleb Brantley is a beast and is now another year older and wiser, Holley is now ready to show who he is...one of the most sought after DTs as a recruit, Taven Bryan is gonna bring it this year and if not injured late in the year would have been a budding star, Khairi Clark had bad bowl game but was out of place and has snap experience to build on, Bryan Cox and Joey Ivie will be able to stop passing game along Justus Reed & Jordan Sherit...who was injured a lot. UT doesnt have anyone with CeCe Jeffersons or Jalen Tabors skillset, ditto Quincy Wilson & Marcus Maye. LBs? Anzalone and Jarrad Davis along with Rolin will be ok in my book along with newbie frosh. Punter is all SEC type.

Offensively we have two OL who were AA recruits in Sharpe and Ivy, Fred Johnson was a steal as a three star recruit, Dillard, Jordan along with second teamers from last year or newcomers will make OL a strength this year.
Del Rio or Appleby will be used to manage offense and the run game will be much better with Campbell I think. Callaway will make UTs DBs nervous and will have better help this year. Fast Eddie will make 50 yarders and all is well.

The grasser isnt greener over there...but they have the manure.
