This group has been slow from the beginning, but in 2011 they were coached a little better on alignment and being in better position. When you combine slow with poor alignment, then the result is giving up 50 to Troy. |

I like the positive thinking but no way we r even in this game. Hope I'm wrong but I think they beat us by 20 or more. | |

| Not even close to level playing field. Chip may have left the program, but the talent is there and the next coach will have a smooth transition. Our story is of Kiffin bailing and kicking the team when it was already down. | |

| The last time they came to Knoxville, believe it or not with Dooley & Sims as his QB we were tied at the half. The second half of that game we may as well have stayed in the locker room, they couldn't have scored any more against us if we had. | |

Our defense is not filled with scrubs. You may not put much stock in em but the recruiting services ranked em pretty good too. | |

Even cutting our defensive yield to 20 pts. per game would put us very close to the top 20 in that category.
In 2011, we were 37th in scoring defense (23.2 pts. per game); an 18 ppg yield would have ranked us 7th nationally and 20 ppg would have ranked us 16th nationally ( College Football Stats - College FB Team Opponent Points per Game on TeamRankings.com).

| Are there rosters really THAT much better than ours? Comparing recruiting classes:
2010: UT #9 and Oregon #13
2011: UT #13 and Oregon #9
2012: UT #17 and Oregon #16
and so far this year UT #29 and Oregon #44
There's no reason to feel inferior! | |
