7 wins are the dividing line between a good season and a bad one. I also think this is the last season where we are "rebuilding" and will start to make some serious noise in 2020.
We still look to ve starting 2 true freshman, a guard that is one heartbeat away from dying, a center coming off acl surgery and fill in the blank on the line. Our qb has gotten the hell beat out of him for 2 years and is still questionable. Our front 7 lost a lot and the 2 olbs are questionable. Now we are good at reciver and dbs should be solid. RB is a questionmark to me right now. Cheney will help and ansley will be good, but I also dont know if its in pruitts dna to give up control. Are pieces together if it all perfectly fell into placr to won 8 or 9? Yes. But that's a very small chamces imo.
I'm not as concerned at rb. Chandler, Jordan, Banks will be even better than last year from a skill set, having a better OC, OL and hopefully the defense worried more about JG. Add in the true freshman who is shifty and should be a weapon out of the backfield on 3rd and mid. Forgot about the center coming back. He should be about 22 or 23 and strong.
5-7 or less, Fahr Pruitt 6-6 I am on the fence about him being able to make it 7-5 is a reasonable expectation 8-4 would be a very good to great season 9 wins or more, we back I'm going with 7 as my prediction.
It’s over boys, guess we just need to accept mediocrity from now on. https://bleacherreport.com/articles...essee-will-never-be-elite-again?share=twitter
So, so dumb. Maybe they don’t remember Clemson doing not a single damn thing for the 30 years preceding this run. Or Alabama’s decade of mediocrity. Or how quickly USC fell. Or Urban Meyer’s dynasties falling apart overnight two different times. Or a million other examples. Only a handful of programs have everything you need to be a championship program. Tennessee is one of them.
Yep. Probably 12-15 teams in college football that can be elite. Vols haven't been kicked out of that club yet, though I do think it is possible (Syracuse, Georgia Tech). The thinking that it is impossible for us to get back is almost as dumb as thinking it was inevitable that we would come back because we're Tennessee. It always was going to take the right coach. Jury is still out on Pruitt obviously.
I don't know if Pruitt is the guy, but it's the first time since 2002 that everything is going in one direction up there.
He's beginning his piece by mocking the roster doing well academically. At a university. [uck fay] him. Graduating players is part of the job for a successful coach.
I was listening to Feldman and Mandel’s podcast and they both agreed that Nebraska had a better chance to returning to glory than tenn. all because of Scott frost. People are so stupid
I mean if they are saying Nebraska has a better chance right this second that’s at least defensible. If we’re talking general ceilings between the programs it obviously isn’t.
