With this years team it's been one thing after another. Started with Carter missing summer then Nico then come all the injuries....which clearly continue. Got no faith in this locker room or staff and now that a good many of the "leaders" we counted on are on the shelf, we're simply a shell of what we could have been. At some point, you just have to accept what and where this team is. The swamp is what it is for UT. Vandy is just a better team and far better coached. We're whistling past the graveyard here, but deep down, you know how this goes. We've both seen this movie before or at least I have.
Losses to both UF and Vandy for 7-5. It's all going to come down to getting a very favorable bowl match up....and enough able bodies to play the game. 8 wins sure looks a lot better than 7 to me, but I just don't think this team has the mental and emotional fortitude to really stop what's coming if they lose to UF. I think it snowballs on them. Should be interesting to see what impact that will have on recruiting and if it will finally push Heupel into being far, far more aggressive in the portal and staff evals. Doubt it, but one can hope. Still say Carter will turn out to be Kelly Washington II for Heupel. Think the end for him has started. Another year or two and.....well...you know....
