Front 4?

 

[The Breakerboy]

Love would have killed it in our offense

We took the local kid over him. Joc. Bruce......

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Congrats Georgia on declining by 2 wins this year!

 

[LynxVol]

Better defense and that's a pick.

 

[LynxVol]

Going to really miss Barnett. Dude brings the nasty.

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

On the 4th play defensively for the Vols Derek Barnett equals Myles Garrett's tackle total in his bowl game.

 

[AAVFL]

We are the most undisciplined team I have seen.

 

[Nashvegas31]

Wish Dobbs could consistently pass accurately. Love missing easy TDs

 

[scvolfan7]

John Kelly= beast

 

[YorkVol]

Did he turn and look?

 

[jspvol76]

We will probably eviscerate Nebraska and look like the team we should have been all year.

Hype train will once again leave the station and Butch will actually land those 2-3 big fish. He has a knack for resetting the fanbase's perception of him.

Oh no, it's happening...

 

[Catbone]

Oh no, it's happening...

I hope we land a big fish or two now

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

An exciting year with a couple big letdowns.

With all the injuries, poor coaching, bad breaks, I've still enjoyed it.

Great finish for Dobbs, Vereen, Lewis, Croom, and likely Barnett, AK, and Malone.

Big shoes to fill next year!

Excited for this off-season. Who leaves? Who comes? How does class shake out before NSD?

 

[Orange Studs]

Maybe get a surprise or two in recruiting after a game like this?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I hope we land a big fish or two now

I'm not seeing any. The class is what it is now. Solid..with a few players who may end up being regarded as spectacularly underrated by the end of their career at UT. Its not a garbage class like the dumbass brigade would have everyone believe, but it is definitely not great either. With the way the season panned out...it really could be a lot worse.

 

[vol81]

We are not done with this class. Period.

 

[Aesius]

If you told me before the season that we would lose the following guys for most/some of the season:

JRM
Kamara
Hurd
O'Brien
KMack
Tuttle
DK Jr.
Sapp
Sutton
Wiesman
McDowell
Hall
Robertson
Foreman
Kendrick

but go 9-4 with wins over VT, UF, UGA, and a bowl win, I would have taken it.

 

[vol2002]

Great great win! So proud of Butch and the players!

And Derek Barnett one of the greatest of all time. Loved that game!

This writer know something we don't with AK?

 

[JAllen18]

Wishful thinking if Josh Malone and AK stay.

Doubt it. Espn doesn't usually know the finer details.

And Malone.

 

[Rishvol]

I'm excited about the defense for next year. Especially after what shoop did with them after a month of practice

 

[SpringBokVol]

Yes,
The season fell short but that was fun to watch.

The team played well on both ends. Tackled well and rushed well.

Dobbs played one of his best.

Barnett getting the record made me tear up. The team celebrating was awesome.

Jones clearly had a lot riding on this and it showed at the end when he let loose. Especially with some of the players picking him up.

All in all this is exactly what we needed.
