Tennessee's Recent Recruiting Classes

[rockydoc]

We've (by some pundits #1) had two top recruiting clases in the past three years. What's happened to that talent? We have now lost four out of our last six games. Is is lack of talent or lack of coaching?

Coaching

i think chavis needs to learn from other SEC teams... i think we will have a long season if we aint stoppin those runs... and i am not sure if cals O line is good ( I dont think by ne stds ) or our D line is so bad (which am sure of )

ole orange is spot on.

it's coaching. there is NO other explanation for it. period. end of story.

Fulmer and Chavis will be raving about what a great offense that Cal had, just like last year after the Air Force game. You would have thought the Air Force woukd be unstoppable the rest of the year (They won four games all season.

We have lost our lateral speed. I saw Ryan Karl get blocked out of four different plays tonight...by a receiver.

I thought speed was to be the strength of our team this year, especially on the defense with all the undersized LB's and secondary guys.

Exactly. In the OSU-Georgia game, the announcers talked about how hard it is to run East-West against an SEC team. The Cowboys kept trying to stretch plays toward the sideline, but the Bulldogs always blew it up. I couldn't believe how badly we got blocked on defense and special teams. Bottom line: UT doesn't have an SEC defense.

Looking at our offensive skill players... they aren't SEC quality, either.
