I sincerely hope these projections come to pass, but has everyone totally forgot how hard it was to get 8 conference wins last year and all the pre-season talk about how this young team will need time to mature?
Last year in conference play, the Vols swept Alabama, got swept four times, and lost five series 2 games to 1. Both Alabama and Mizzou are off to sluggish starts, but Mizzou did win the Big 12 last year and has a lot of returning arms, and Alabama is still expected to improve over last year.
Nothing is in the bag yet.
One game at a time, please.
