Am I alone in thinking it was not gonna be this bad of a reclamation project?

Howard MUST start next year. We’ve seen what 5 can do and I guess we won’t be able to see what 13 can do

Biggest thing is I thought DL would be great and OL adequate.
Neither worked out.

It’s just a bad all around team. The coaching really hasn’t helped at all and that’s alarming

I didn't think we were this week in talent. There's a lot of issues. Too many to get into.

Didnt help our best down lineman bkew up his knee celebrating a tackle he didnt make on the first defensive series. Having that inside monster opens everything else up.

They're right where I thought they'd be. They were ahead, until UT beat us by 4 TDs. Back to the drawing board, uphill battle but this team could still technically end 9-3. I don't think they will, I think 8-4 is on par. They will need to play better still though.

All of the folks thinking 9-3, 8-4 were not looking at what we had. 36 scholarship players to start and trying to replace spots with so many transfers. Add to that a whole new coaching staff and this year was and is going to be rough. The recruiting class we have lined up for this year looks to help and should be significantly better next year but I think we are looking at year after before we will be true threat!

When you are out manned there is only so much you can do.
You either have to have generational talent or a solid trenches.

I will give Kelly a few years. O e thing he always does is have a good OL. That is in process.
It will be better, this year you just have to take the good with the bad.

Tennessee is a good team.

We needed to play mistake free and we did not.

We needed the coaches and the players
To
Have a great game and NEITHER did.

Our team is lacking in experienced talent at most positions.

We will be better in 2023 and even better in 2024.
