re: The Real Question is: Who Will Win the East in 2014? Mizzou or Georgia?

Tennessee returns zero starters on both lines. They will struggle mightily in 2014, but go bowling in 2015 IMO.

Last year, our most productive D-lineman was a true freshman. Our recruiting class this year has 8 DL in it, some of whom are bigger, faster, and better than players already on our roster. I actually believe that our D-line play will improve. Not to mention our Linebacking corp will be insane.

As for O-line, we have mack crowder at center who has gotten significant playing time, Marcus jackson (basically our 6th man last year) who is very talented, and a JUCO tackle Ray Raulerson who will come in and make an immediate impact. Yes, it will take a few games for our line to mesh, but we have the talent to have a solid (i'm not saying great) line this year. If they mesh over the offseason, we have a chance to do big things, assuming a starting QB emerges by the time the season rolls around. Besides, look a mizzoulast year, anthing can happen.

I see it as a race between SC, UF (they sucked last year but they're loaded with talent), UGA, Mizzou, and UT.

Good Luck
