Realistically it's been this way the entire season against the top ranked SEC teams.
If just 3 to 5 plays in every game, except alaBubba, had gone differently then we could be sitting here today as a 1 loss team and ranked in the top 10 Nationally and already the SEC East Champions.
We're much closer than most on here will ever admit and I'm actually amazed that CDD got us here this fast from starting with nothing and so many of our starters and backups still being Sophs and Freshmen.
If this had been our 2nd year in our new 3-4 Defence then our D would already be looking alot like the number 1 ranked Defence that Bama has had for 2 years in a row and our Vols would be a VERY tough team to beat.
Next year Tiny and several others are going to become even better leaders and they will flatout DEMAND that every person on our team give 100% to learn everything, get better and to NEVER give up on any play in every game just like Al Wilson used to do.
We ARE growing up and getting better and we are getting more future NFL players on our team with every recruiting class that CDD brings in so the playing field is starting to level out against the top SEC teams.
We're much closer to being back and a feared team again than most on here realise or will ever admit.
VFL...GBO!!!
