mizzou game was probably the closest they came to quitting... that game was ugly and over by halftime. I really thought UT would go up there and play well.

last year's schedule was absolutely brutal, though... add in the zero quality depth left by dooley and it was a recipe for a rough year.

We had a chance early on to at least be in that game but between Tiny's false starts and a few other penalties every freaking big play/TD got called back. At one point, Dobbs was the only one playing so yes they did quit for a little while and came close to completely lying down. By the time they decided to play the game was out of hand.

A lot of our positions weren't just zero quality depth but sadly a few of our starters wouldn't have started on any other SEC team. Dooley was also master at finding 4* guys who had no other offers.
