We are replacing 4/5 starters on our Oline...have an entirely new and unproven WR room except a returning freshman that scored 2 whole TDs on Vandy, on plays designed for him to score mind you, and Brazzells 4TDs in a struggle of a season...and these clowns showing UT as a preseason Top10 team and Nico a legit Heisman contender.

Lmao.

I am an admitted sunshine pumper, positive guy who is extremely happy with the program, the roster, and the staff. Love where we are as a program and we are still on an upward trajectory. That said...those are ridiculous expectations.

For UT to make the playoffs at 10-2 and Nico to be even considered for awards he will have to throw for 35TDs for sure. Hendon threw for 37TDs against only 3INT and wasnt invited. We have 6 COLLEGE TDS TOTAL RETURNING AMONG OUR 7 WRS. Heard is likely the only returning starter on our Oline. Satterwhite at Center and Sanders at RTackle will be brand new to starting in the SEC or college for that matter. Both Guard spots are wide open. As are the backups at all 5 spots on Oline.

But we are gonna steamroll the SEC next season and win 2/3 of @Flarda, @bama, UGA at home...because we have dropped a road game to a "lesser team" every year since Moses used to walk me to my bus stop. Just don't see it guys. We will have a good and exciting season, with plenty to be happy and excited about. Don't see a playoff run next season though.

I will be SUPER happy if I am wrong. I was wrong this year. I thought we would drop 3 games and we didn't. I just hate to see us put up on a pedestal with unrealistic expectations so then the media and Negas can try and beat us down next year like we underachieved. Any SEC coach with our Oline and WR questions is gonna struggle a bit at least until those 2 units gel and get experience. Will be very interesting to see how defenses play us next year. I am excited to see what the young WRs can do, and who is gonna separate themself from the pack. Excited to see the 3 freshmen LBs we have too, and what impact they have. I think at least 1 of them plays like Arion Carter did as a freshman. They are bluechip kids with a lot of talent.

Unproven < Untalented

We got talent. You are right they'll need to prove it. We had returning production at WR this year, but they didn't prove it. I think 10-2 is realistic start for our talent and QB. We could trend lower, but if we do that will raise a whole bucket of other questions.
