I think they'll get the upset vs OU, but that game vs Arkansas could determine what kind of season Tennessee will have. Both teams finished strong, carrying a lot of momentum going into the '15 season, and have a lot coming back. The winner I think will go on to have a better year and possibly win their respected divisions. The loser will probably still go on to have a good year, but not nearly the kind that you want in year 3 from your HC.

The east is wide open next year and I will be disappointed if we are not in the race. I am okay with 8 wins (I'm hoping for more obviously) as long as one of those wins is against UGA, UF, or BAMA. It's time to start breaking these streaks. It all depends on our line development. We have the horses to compete at every other position.

8 Wins. I think Mizzou is winnable, too. If I were a Tennessee fan, I think that's the number I would want to hit with obvious improvement on offense. If those two things happen I think recruiting will stay at an elite level and I think it should indicate Butch has a firm grip on the reins.

My expectations for 2015 are simple:

-be competitive for 60 minutes against every team we play. No blowouts.
-go at the very least 4-4 in SEC play. Although we are capable of 5-3 or better.
-beat at least 2 good football teams, including one of OU, UF, UGA or bammer.
-end the season with at least 8 wins. (7-5 + bowl may be ok)

In 2016 my expectations will be much higher.
