re: Tennessee +10 versus West Virginia

WVU has had horrible luck with their defense this offseason, and they weren't very good to begin with. They may have one of the worst defenses in the P5. I wouldn't give Tennessee 10 points. If UT can cobble together a decent OL for the first game, they could win this outright.

Will Friend has already done wonders with this OL *but* we're talking about an OL that allowed a sack or hurry on 50% of passing plays. Yeah we were at one point playing freshmen and walkons but they were baaad.

Getting Trey Smith back and hopefully a healthy Chance Hall will help as will transfer Brandon Kennedy but that OL is coming from the bottom. I think they can actually be pretty decent as long as they don't suffer injuries but I won't allow myself to believe until I see it.
