Not trying to be an arse or anything, but how do you reconcile your statement about recruits with the on-field product out of Austin the last couple of years?

Fair question. The quick answer is the wheels literally fell off once Colt left Austin and we have yet to find a decent replacement. Garrett Gilbert was the 5* stud to follow in his footsteps but he could never put it together. Ash started last year as 4th string, never got any reps then was thrown on the field as a true Frosh.

To the above, add in some misses/lazy recruiting evaluations esp. on the O-line, lazy S&C practices, and a few other issues of complacency and you have a recipe for 2010. 2011 truly began the restart and finishing 8-5 was an improvement with a brighter future if we can get solid QB play.

UT is going to have a really good defense. If they can somehow find a QB worth a shite, they are going to be in the title hunt (probably not this year, but they are definitely trending in the right direction).

UT failed miserably in transitioning from the zone / read Greg Davis offense to a physical run down your throat SEC offense. With GD gone and their new OC Harsin in place, they really are an above average QB away from being back in the National title hunt.
