A lot of meh in this thread. Very little difference between these two seasons. In really, Petterson accomplished more by winning his conference but lets face it, that was not big deal. He lost every big game he played in except Washington St.

Gus did not win anything for the trophy case but played a much harder schedule and all the loses other than the Vols was against a ranked team. Plus won head to head
