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.
