This roster is going to have 13 Scholly Seniors (All of them will have solid to big impacts this season - basically means while we are short on numbers in SR's the ones that are left are the ones that fit Butch's program and are very valuable)
15 scholarship Juniors (most will have solid to big impacts this season)
23 scholarship sophomores (this is where almost all of our most talented and best players that are returning from 2014's team)
33 scholarship Freshman will be on this roster. Another crop of elite talent that will be the core of our 2016 title team.

Last year the following True Freshman started games for TN
Jashaun Robertson - OG (13 starts)
Aarron Medley - K (13 starts)
Ethan Wolf - TE (11 starts)
Derek Barnett - DE (10 starts)
Jalen Hurd - RB (9 starts)
Josh Malone - WR (6 starts)
Coleman Thomas - OT (5 starts)
Todd Kelly Jr. - S (3 starts)
Emmanuel Mosely - CB 9 (2 starts)
Jakob Johnson - LB (2 starts)
And if you include KR Evan Berry started all 13 games there.
This season there are only a couple True Freshman who have a shot of winning the starting job Shy Tuttle, Khalil Mckenzie at DT and Darrin Kirkland JR at MLB. Besides those three I can't think of any other freshman on this years team that will even crack the two deep at the beginning of the year besides maybe one of Jack Jones or Drew Richmond at OT.
So while this team will still be younger than most it will be MUCH older than 2014's squad. But 2016 to me looks like the first season TN will truly be a "veteran" squad.
But IMO the pieces are there for a big season this year. 9 wins is my projections.

Ericvol comes in and drops them facts, per usual.

Saban followed Shula, what's the difference?

Butch looks like a high school bully in an 80s movie.

LSU wasn't young last year. Y'all just sucked.

I'm still trying to figure out if the OP is just trying to be clever, or if he's just too dimwitted to grasp that you ride a horse and you play a card. He's an LSU fan, so I'm guessing clever didn't fit in the equation.
