I was looking at the offense next year and if the o-line holds up, I think there is good chance of the offense tearing it up. Nick Stephens and the line will be the key. I think Jim Chaney could have this offense rolling.

SR QB Nick Stephens
SO RB Bryce Brown
SR FB Kevin Cooper
SR TE Luke Stocker
SR WR Gerald Jones
SR WR Denarius Moore

I don't know a lot about linemen but I know there will be a lot of new starters. What can we expect from the o-line?

*I expect other younger guys to contribute but I just posted the core.

You also got Teague and Rogers...Both will have a leg up on the incoming Freshmen.

I think Rogers gets passed up but you never know...I find it real hard to believe Milton, Hunter and Da'Rick will not see the field with some significant reps...But your right about the Core. As long as Jones and Moore stay healthy.

I would probably also think that Brown is really going to have to work to get the starting job. Tauren Poole has something to prove and Toney Williams is a Beast of a back...I think Brown wins the job but he will have to work hard for it...Then I see Oku being the Percy Harvin type this year...maybe lining up in the slot or lining up with Brown in the backfield for some screen plays.. I also think Oku will take one to the house this year on Kickoff...

That "if" about the line, that's the problem. One guy has proven he can play. Nobody else. You've got three guys that played on games last year. You have four guys that are soph or above, then you drop to freshman. That ought to be enough to tell you short of incredible turnabouts, we are in real trouble there.

Also, qb. What are you thinking? I haven't seen a single guy on our roster throw passes and show he has the ability to be an efficient sec qb. Not to say that stephens couldn't turn around or an unproven guy couldn't step up, but nothing tells me this is a good offense yet.

I was basing it off of Cromptons turn with only one year under Lane/Chaney. I am hoping Stephens is at least serviceable in his second season and has strengths that Chaney game plan around.

I think we honestly suprise people. Fl is rebuilding, no matter what the people who are fans or scared of FL say, and the FL game is at UT. Think we actually pull that off. I think we beat Oregon as by the time the game actually starts they're probably going to lose 2 more starters due to something crazy. I also think we beat GA but might lose to LSU. I think the chances of beating LSU are 50-50. I do believe we lose to AL though. I could honestly see us only losing to AL and LSU next year and shocking a ton of people. Think the offense will be stronger than the defense next year which is the total opposite of how it has been the past 10 years.

yes, Florida is replacing players from a roster with four top five recruiting classes. You can't objectively believe that situation is anywhere close to tenn.

I agree that potentially, POTENTIALLY, with some production from the oline, our offense could be really good this year. We've got some great talent at rb, fb, te, and wr, as well as great (albeit untapped) talent at qb.

For all the Stephens haters, go back and watch the WKU game last year. His first play from scrimmage was a beautiful play fake and deep pass down the middle. I'm not saying he's the starter or even any good, but he does have talent and potential.

And besides, last year we started 2 walk ons at oline, can this year be that much worse?

Potentially, POTENTIALLY, this offense could be very good.

Just my humble 2cents worth of opinion.

If we do that, they should rename the stadium Neyland-Dooley. There is no way we go 10-2. That is just not happening with the talent on the roster right now.

Everything you said is great and dandy and makes me feel warm and fuzzy about our Offense. But it boils down to what no one wants, you can't have good feelings about your O if the Offensive Line and QB are as big of ?'s as ours is...we have the weapons for once...but will we have the core???

just for sake of discussion.....

why will tennessee beat oregon and florida? will tennessee be better? if so, where?

if not, how do you see tennessee winning those games?

keep in mind, that you are talking about two teams that will be ranked in the top 10 in back to back weeks.

someone can look it up, but i can't remember the last time tennessee beat two top 10 teams in the same season, let alone back to back weeks.

i've seen a lot of people be so dismissive of oregon because they are from the pac 10. somehow, people seem to have forgotten about a less than stellar ucla team pulling off the home and home sweep.

I hate to admit it but I have to agree with you 99. I think one upset is possible but two is a stretch. I used to be one to think almost any team in the SEC would dominate the other elite teams of the Pac-10, Big East, ACC, Big-10 ect, but our (UT) previous meetings with the Pac-10 and the ACC have proven otherwise. I've gained a lot of respect for those programs and conferences.

Just for sake of argument, let's go there. For one Oregon did lose to Boise State. And BSU has players with way lower stars than us. The old DC is our new DC and I believe he will scheme a very good game. I also think Oregon is over-rated. Yeah, they beat OSU. Big deal. So doesn't everyone else that plays them in a bowl game. And yes, FL is replacing old players with high star players. More high stars than us. But it is a new qb against a new qb and there qb has to play us here. Also, CUM never really put together that great a scheme. Tim up the middle. Tim up the middle again. Wait, no it's time up the left side. Nobody could stop it because Tim is a freak of nature at qb. CUM has also lost his whole staff basically. I see both of those games as possible wins. Make a list and go pros and cons on both games. The only pro FL has is more players stepping in. QB position is a draw. Running back draw or leans to us. Our O line and D line should still be healthy by this game and still not worn down (because we are thin) which makes it lean towards them but not as much as alot might think. And it is home. Huge pro for us. New QB, in his third game, with new OC, new WR's, who won't be able to hear himself think. I'm telling you now we have a good shot at only two loses. If I'm wrong, blast me come next fall. if I'm right, then for all who doubt me bow before Zod! Sorry watched Superman 2 last night.

Sorry.....but i believe Stephens is a career back-up at UT, because as bad as Crompton was to start the year (and he did a complete 360 and became a pretty darn good QB) Stephens couldnt win the starting job......Simms will be the starter....and depends but you may even see Bray after a couple of games. I dont think there is any way Stephens will start but I could be wrong.....I also thought there was to many Red-necks in this country to let Obama get in the White House and I was wrong, unfortunately.

What offensive system will we run?

pre-2008 Cutcliffe/Legacy Tennessee Offense
2008 Dave Clawfense
2009 Kiffin Offense

CDD retained Chaney as OC to keep the continuity in the program. Are we going to be running Kiffin's offense next year? That would be the ultimate compliment!

We are weak where it hurts, along the line. I am also not sure who the experienced leader will prove to be on offense. We are rebuilding big time. As much as I would LOVE to see 10-2, I am hoping for 8-5 with a decent bowl.

chaneys offense. Will look a lot like kiffy. Prostyle. Most people won't notice alot of diffences. Guess he might use a little shotgun depending on how bad our line really is, just inadequate or truly offensive.

But what about the playbook and the terminology and all that? That was a big deal when Clausen took over and then again when Kiffin took over. And Clausen was only the OC.

he'll retain enough so that the offense is not reinventing the wheel. That won't be a problem.

Gotta have experience on the O-line AND QB positions if we want to start hot out of the gate.

That's not the case for us. I see about four games going by before our offense starts to pick it up to the point where they can put a full game together, if at all.

Very well thought out, and some valid points. With that being said 7-5 is what we should expect next year and MAYBE8-4 if we can pull one out of our a$$. I agree Florida will not be the dominating force they have been in the east the past few years since Tebow is gone, they still have a tone of talent on the defensive side of the ball. New Staff could hurt them, but that ball falls in our court as well. Even though our new DC plays very well against the spread our chance of beating florida and Oregon next next are very very slim. We have a better shot at beating LSU at LSU IMO. They didnt impress my last year, and I'm not expecting much this year either. Georgia will be a god game, but i think we pull it out, as well as UTMartin, UAB, and Tiger High. I really think USCjr. will be an extremely talented team next year and we play them away. Bama.....damn you Saban. Ole Miss will not be near as good without McCluster, should be a win(hopefully). Vandy is Vandy, and until Kentucky proves me wrong i dont see them beating us anytime soon.
