I think that you are absolutely correct. He showed poise, confidence and they (coaching staff) had to slow him down. Our O-line will be better next year and we'll have a decent, maybe good, quarterback. With, I believe, some more quality running backs coming next year, I think that next year...

I would have to agree with you. They look bigger, faster and more athletic. I'm not a coach and I certainly don't know about the different positions but I like what I see. Hurd is as big as the linemen.

Well, since you asked, I'll play. Before we talk about Kiffin, let's step back one more year and talk about Fulmer. What if Hamilton hadn't fired him and Tajh Boyd wore UT Orange. Would Mr. Dave Clawson's offense have found some footing? Would we be now looking at another National Title...

I remember Allan Carson. What is Clark's first name? I don't remember him or who recruited him?

I agree with your thinking but it is saying a lot that 16true freshmen will be able to start. Now, that being said, both the offensive and defensive lines will have to use true freshmen next year. Also, as the season progresses, I would expect to see some start. We need all of the speed that...

Have you noticed the lack of speed? Have you noticed the number of true freshmen that are our best players? Have you noticed the lack of depth? These are problems that great coaching can't overcome. When the other team's "Jimmys" and "Joes" are better than your "Jimmys" and "Joes" and they...

Tell'em Brother!!

I agree with three (3) but that includes competing in the SEC. This freshman class will be juniors and redshirt sophmores. The leadership factor will be very different from what we are seeing now. The talent and speed will be vastly upgraded and the experience needle will be buried. No...

I have seen no evidence of them quitting. Getting tired, yes. Out ran, yes. Out experienced, yes. This year has been an incredible grind. We are playing some of the best teams in the country this year. Even the games that we can win going forward are not gimmies. Vanderbilt will be a...

I don't understand the mentality of some people on here. The product on the field this year is much better at the same point in time than it was last year, yet, many on here are ready to declare Coach Jones a bust. You cannot win consistently with what you don't have. As you pointed out, and...

Valid points; but, Miami and FSU have been down the past several years and Auburn has been down except for the anomaly year. Clemson has only become a factor the past two years with Tahj Boyd coming into prominence. The trend, I believe, is starting to swing again. Florida will have at least...

Great Post!! Thank You! I have written in another post that this season doesn't really begin until Missouri. Coach Jones and his fellow coaches are having to mold these young men through the trials of fire. He is having to teach them to trust him, their coaches and, most importantly, each...

AMEN Brother!! Great Post!

I agree with you that we should be no worse than 6 wins and 6 losses. The real season for Tennessee doesn't start till we get to Missouri. Any game outside of South Alabama should be a loss. More on that in a moment. Tennessee is improving. The improvement is not major in that we didn't...

I don't know that you will be better off with him; however, you won't be worse off with him. He can run very well. I'm not sure about his arm though that was a hell of a throw in the 3rd quarter to extend the drive. Against a more experienced defense with more depth, he might be a better...
