These guys all missed the Bama game:

Sutton-OUT
Reeves-Maybin-OUT
O'Brien-Kicked off team
Kirkland-OUT
Cortez McDowell-OUT (took over for Reeves-Maybin)
Malik Foreman-OUT (took over for Sutton)

The above 4 were also 4 of the players on defense (+Barnett) and were all seniors except for Kirkland. McKenzie also got hurt in the game.

Still would have lost to Bama with the way they played, but we were playing Ellot Berry and a walkon LBer the majority of snaps at LBer.

No doubt this is a factor...but O'Brien is on Jones. When you have a repeat drug offender get popped, you don't get any sympathy points for that one. Should be prepared and have someone ready to go in his place.

I'm not saying it's an even swap...and these guys had 6 games under their belt before Saturday...but look at all the true freshmen and redshirt freshmen Alabama played on offense. That depleted Vol defense wasn't exactly playing a veteran offense, other than the receiving corps.

Are Tennessee fans blaming this all on bad luck? Or are some coaches to blame?
