It all starts on the DL

[buckaroo]

And we are going to be devastatingly sick on defense with 5 star McKenzie, 5 star tuttle, and we know already about Barnette freshman of the year DE

Yup next year we should have a nasty DL maggitt is pretty good also He should be back.
But them 3 young guys you named will be monsters in the sec for a couple of years

 

[TeamMainStreet]

The defense is going to be stout. Kmac, Tuttle, Barnett,Maggitt, Sutton, TKjr, Weatherd, Bynum,JJohnson, Kirkland, Berry, plus more in the rotation. They will be stout.

arty: Can't wait till next year to see this defense that Tennessee has ammased!!

With the east being down and Missouri losing a couple big time DL guys. The vols should have the best D-Line in the east. Kinda funny since 80'/, of them are freshman and sophomores

Definitely looking better than we've been in recent history. Just hope they all stay healthy and more help keeps coming in.

Not a Vols fan, but I definitely understand the optimism in the future on defense. I find it interesting that a coach known more for offense has done such a good job of building a good defense first.

If the O-Line was even OK I think the offense would have been good:/
QB play from Worley would have not looked that bad if he didn't have a guy in his face or sacked every single play:/ not many QB'S could put up good numbers with a 250 pound pass rusher on top of them every single play
We seen what dobbs could do but once again in the Missouri game he didnt have any time and looked bad.

Are HB's should be pretty dang good with hurd and the guys coming in next season. Remember the O-Line hurt hurd and the run game as well:/

Receivers the vols are stocked with talent But alot got injured and the QB didnt have time to get the ball to them.

If the vols get ok play outta the O-Line next season and good to ok play outta Dobbs think the offense could be better then expected. Were set at HBs and receivers.

Remember vols were the only FBS team to replace the entire O-Line this season:/ thats the biggest reason are offense looked bad! At times. They should get better with everyone coming back. And a couple good 4 star guys like Jack jones coming in.

I dont see how are offense could do anything but get better next season.
