| How Does the Offensive Line Rank?
Like many I have been lamenting that UT missed on a top DT. However, we have a huge win of greater proportion IMO. Like last year's new crop of wide receivers (Rogers, Hunter, Milton, and Meline), I would say our 2011 class of five offensive linemen is the best of any five recruited by any other program. If there is recruiting addict out there who knows how the ESPN, Rivals, and Scout team rankings formula work, how about running the rumbers on best classes' offensive line? I believe it will lift our spirits to see UT on top or at least among the top of the list. |

| No guru, but adding these guys to the 2010 crop makes Randy very happy.
BTW, I'm Randy.

| This oline class is legit. And don't slouch on couch. He will be a game changer at DT. Pair him with someone who can speed rush and it's on.
Secondary improved the most IMO.

Depends on if he used his redshirt or not. This is assuming he gets the hardship waiver which I believe he will. | |

| We have reloaded at the O line spot. Last year we had a fantastic class. Two years back to back of getting great O line recruits. Bodes well for the future...just hope we do a good job of coaching em up. It will take two years for UT's team to be "seasoned." Next year will be rough too, but not as bad as this year.
2012 we will be in the hunt for SEC East Champs...
