I would have to agree- 4 losses, 3 at best.

According to most if not all the sports publications; the Vols are back in 2020!

I called it last year after the final games were played! I said, "if Tenn can get off to a good start the first part of the 2020 season, that they will be a force to be reckoned with and will challenge GA.and Fla for Eastern supremecy!"

Knowing that will mean a tougher out for Bama every year, I still welcome the competition and believe the rivalry will once again reign as the blood feud it was once known as on TSIO! Welcome back to the fold Vols! We've missed you!




I see when will other SEC schools do the same! We need all schools to be competitive! Not the ones you want to be there. I rather have each schools competing near the top so it makes all games worth watching!

Our defense was horseshite in the first month of the year. After week 5 they were leaps and bounds better. Alabama’s offense scored only 28, and none of the other 7 opponents scored more than 22.

By Big12 standards.


Their defense was ranked in the 20s I believe before they played LSU.

Thats impressive considering points scored in the Big12.

We were good at the end of the year. Not great or anything of course, but one of the best 35-ish teams in college football. Mediocre on offense, top 25 defense. IIRC we were 8th or 9th on the receiving votes list on the final poll (33rd/34th overall).

Orgeron could've put 100 on them, you agree?

It’s a much different league than it was 5 years ago.

Texas Tech, K State, Texas, and Iowa State aren’t what I would consider prolific offenses. West Virginia’s offense was atrocious last year as well, and Kansas is still Kansas.

Even Oklahoma State had a relatively down year

They are a year away still. They could pull an upset against either us, Georgia, or Bama but they are not good enough to contend for the East. Still a 4 loss team.

Reminds me of the Texas hype last year. Relax. Tenn was at best average at the end of the year, it just looked good because they were so bad the first six games that improvement led to a hype train.
