And add more depth at other positions? We will have all four classes represented well next year.. We might as well not even have a senior class this year.. A lot like the last few years.. WR is a position we should feel good about. There's no way we lose all 3 in the same year either.. Maybe Bray and darick.

The UT football team you remember and the one we have now are not the same thing. You know what I will do in 2013? I will alter my expectations to a realistic level given what kind of team and staff we have.

Name 5 starters that kiffin or fulmer recruited combine. 8 wins seems pretty good considering

Concerning what he saw this offseason compared to last:

"I think the talent level is greatly improved at just about every level. I think the coaching staff is a lot better. I really think that they will have as much talent as anybody they play in the first 22 guys except Bama. On offense, they have a future pro at just about every position. Not many teams can say that. I think the defensive coaching staff is so much better now its crazy. And their mentality fits the players and whay they are trying to do on offense. They will be able to play complimentary football. I will be disappointed if they don't get to Atlanta at the end of the season. They don't have to win it, but I think with this better coaching staff, and better more mature players they should at least win the East."

If he is correct about the first part of his remarks, Then he should be dead on with the last part.

Sounds like Buck is expecting at least 10 wins.

Even if u give them credit for all of those, it's still really really sad... We r still really young.. Hmm.. Maybe it's not just an excuse after all..

We have abunch of two and three year starters with a very large junior class. Enough with this young bull****.

8 wins in year three would be a disappointment.

It would show marked improvement over a 5-7 or 6-7 team. Look, I want to be a homer like everyone else, but a little practicality would be wise. 8 wins would be good this year, but I like I said, more wins would be better!

8 wins would be a 2 game improvement from year 1 to year 3.

That's pretty bad considering the starting point.

Upcoming juniors.. As in, the last two years they were frosh and sophomores.. And had to be the main contributors.. It's crazy how the depth chart fell off before DD got here.

Our starting offense is made up of three seniors and six juniors. Seven if Neal ends up the number one back.
The three seniors are returning starters and all of the juniors either started or played since freshman.
They are not young, nor inexperienced.

Guys, I hate to say it, but even if they beat Ga. thier road in the SEC is so soft, I don't know how you keep them out of the SECC game.

Really...that would be a 16% difference in wins. If the UT mens basektball team had won 16% more games they would have went to the ncaa tourny instead of the nit.... I'm not not saying this is where I want to end up. I'm saying it would be an acceptable stepping stone to much better things....
