Tiny will grade out extremely well at the combine. His size, strength, and athleticism will shoot him to the top of draft boards, ala Lane Johnson.

You can draft him as a day 1 starter at RT and then groom him to be a LT, assuming he's got the ability. Worst case scenario he is an anchor at RT for a decade.

Another year won't make any difference. If he comes back and screws a knee up or something it would have been a pretty dumb decision.

You make a good point, but I believe it could really benefit him to have another year under a real coaching staff and he could really increase his stock. Ultimately, in the end, it will come to what he thinks will benefit him the most.

6-6 or better is a must...IMO.

I want to f***ing vomit that we've stooped to this level.

I kind of hate to say it like this but, this staff is going to have to show me something next year, for me to feel better about the future. For all of the strides off the field, which cannot and should not be understated, the strides on the field were, overall, only marginally better than the previous three seasons. There were injuries, we were inexperienced across the board, our OL underacheived, and we playee one of the toughest schedules ever...still expected to be bowling this year, especially after the UGA & SC games.

The task doesn't get much easier next year, with road trips to SC, Oxford, & Athens...not to mention the buzz saw we're walking into in Norman. We need a win with AT LEAST one of those games. My biggest concerns lie with the coordinators, both of which have tried and failed at previous SEC stops. I have little confidence in either of them but am hopeful they'll find their way in Knoxville...we'll see.

I recorded the game and I just finished watching it. Glad to see the boys in O&W finish strong with a win. They never gave up and played hard the whole season. That is all we can ask for as fans. Thank you to the seniors for all you have endured and know that VN is grateful that you gave your all for TN. Now that being said we have 271 days until Team 118 starts their season. GBFO!!!

Rajion Neal answered the question why he starts and gets more carries than Marlin Lane on the 2nd play from scrimmage tonight.

The winner of the Auburn-Mizzou SEC CG next week deserves to jump Ohio State for the opportunity to play for the National Championship.

Ohio State has not played a top 15 opponent since Herban Meyer has been there. Auburn played LSU, Bama, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Georgia, among others.

If Auburn wins next week, they will have defeated the #1 and #4 teams in the nation on road in consecutive weeks.

You know, at the risk of putting moral victory nonsense out there, I did see this point get raised. For all the issues this year, team 117 was two replay calls from having a 7-5 regular season.

I am taking the high road and positive approach that there are many things to build off of this year and I expect big things in the future. I'm glad our coach expects the same too. As Butch said in the presser, Bowl Games are the expectation moving forward, no excuses.

Spot on. Especially about the coordinators. If Butch wants to last long term he'll have to make changes there.

Both coordinators tried and failed at previous stops? Since when has Bajakian tried and failed at an SEC school? He has been with Butch his entire career and has had nothing but success.
