I'm referring to both offensive and defensive lines.
Arkansas is flat loaded on the two deep on the Oline as well.
Am I wrong in saying TN still isn't where it needs to be depth wise/talent on the Oline?

The depth is starting to accumulate on the OL, but there's work to do. It's getting there though. We return 4 of our 5 starters and added a very good class last year and did decent the 2 years prior to that.
Replacing all 5 of our starters on the OL last year really maimed us though. Practice reports are that this years unit looks quite a bit better and has definitely taken steps forward going into their second year together. Jones is starting to get his guys in as well which is helping out the most. If I'm being honest, and I know that this doesn't come as a shock to anybody, but the type of recruit CBJ has brought in on the OL is a completely different athlete than what Dooley has here currently. All that said, I think that we will be around middle of the pack in the conference this season. Which is a big step forward from last season, particularly the part where Worley played/got mauled.
Overall I would expect us to be in the top 1-3 next year in conference in the the DL metrics and anywhere from 6-8 on the OL.
