There are pieces, but look at Georgia, auburn, and Alabama. Big games are won in the trenches. Where are those players at Tennessee (outside of Trey Smith)?
I don't expect next year to be much different. Is there some talent there? Sure. But there will still be plenty of holes and question marks. My biggest hope is that the new coach will truly play the best at each position. Not going to call them out, but there have been OL, LB, and DBs that...
Stop with the Shoop gave up a big play stuff. Abernathy was there to make a play and then just watched the guy run away. Literally no fake, no juke, just piss poor play
