True depth issues are having a 3 man DT rotation and green Oline like we had in 2014. Nothing like that is present right now outside of some uncertainty at whose gonna grab MLB


Idk man, you think the DL is that solid? I see McKenzie starts the majority of the year and Tuttle playing an awful lot. That isn't the best thing to have two frosh (although very talented), contributing so much on the DL. That said, I do think our defense will turn some heads this year.

I'm not sold on the OL either, there is experience there, but how good are they?

I don't think it's as big of an issue as you're making it out to be. I believe it was Auburn that made a title run a couple of years ago with 2 freshmen DL who had to contribute significantly.

Interesting. So more thinking leads one to believe Tennessee will win the East? Perhaps the rant should simply think more to garner more enlightenment like this good fellow.

Well they're one of two teams from the East that is on Arkansas' schedule this year, so that's a piece to your hypothesis that fits perfectly.

What year was it that UT went toe to toe with the University of South Alabama?

UT will be trying to get Kiffin to come back by the middle of November. He will it be able to talk to them until after we have played in NC game. He will tell them no and they will hire Terry Bowden!

What are you talking about? The spot on the UT 25 yard line with 30 seconds left?

I think it's definitely getting there. We were paper thin last year (3 man DT rotation - 3-4 man DE rotation) yet we we still had one of the better DL's in the league. We return everyone outside of Jordan Williams and add one of the best DL classes in the country. Two 5* DT's, One 5* DE, three 4* DE's and one 3* DT

We've got a legit 6-7 man DT rotation this season (O'Brien(SR), Owen Williams(SR), Vickers(RS SO), Mixon(SO) McKenzie(FR), Tuttle(FR)) Quay Picou(FR) probably grabs a red shirt.

On the DE side, Barnett(SO), Maggitt(SR), Vereen(JR) and Lewis(RS JR) add Kyle Phillips, Darrell Taylor and Andrew Butcher. Hopefully Taylor and Butcher can grab a RS year and we're able to roll with Maggitt, Barnett, Vereen, and Lewis or Phillips for the DE 2 deep.

We've got youth in some areas, but I think the depth is getting there at almost every position. Even more so when compared to the 2012, 2013, and 2014 seasons. I remember us being so thin at spots that if one guy went down a walk on was going to have to play or someone had to play out of position. Hopefully those days are behind us

Lets not act like UT was in scoring position or that you could have stopped Gurley.

We sure have seen a lot happen in the past 2 years. You expect more of the same craziness this year, but for UT this time rather than Mizzou?

Exactly...no way someone could score from that far away with that little amount of time left.
