UT Oline was supposed to be a strength this year. UGA made them look bad for sure. That made it worse on JG. That Oline needs to live up to their billing. In that game on Saturday it was 4-5 stars against 4-5 stars. UGA “stars” were better and that will have to improve before UT wins these type games. JG is what he is at that point. He is not all SEC and will not be. It is worrisome that he is the best we have...maybe he is I don’t know. That’s what the coaches think though and they are there every day. UT has got to start getting some of these big games again. If I remember correctly they have won less than 5 games against the big 3 since 2010. They have struggled against others as well. But, the measure will always be GA, FL and Bama. Got to get some of those. Recruiting looks much better, so hopefully the corner will get turned.

Fuzzyvol01 I will not be critical of you for being optimistic my friend. I am 78 years old and worked in a field where evidence was examined carefully in our decision making. I try to be objective about where we are. I’ve seen the highs and the lows and maybe you have as well. I think the future is bright, but we need a better QB and a few more horses. We are a good trajectory I think.

Thanks. I am a Vol fan for 6 decades, but you have to see it for what it is. I like the future outlook, but still work to do get back to top tier.

And...by the way it was the UT fans who were critical of my post.

I wrote this post about 4 days and got blistered for it: “... Vols fan here and I enjoy fun back and forth. Simply put, UT will not win this game. 15 years ago the Vols were the dominant team in this series. Now after 15 years of football malpractice in Knoxville they are not and have not been for a few years. They have lost the overall series leads to UGA and UF during this administrative catastrophe in Knoxville. Pruitt is getting them back into shape, but not there yet. UGA for now is still better. I’d say UT may keep it closer than the last 2-3 years when UGA just ran them off the filed, but I’ll say UGA 35-17. I don’t think UT’s defense is as good as GA, offenses I think are about even. Defense turns this one to the dawgs unfortunately IMO...” UT fans. You have to look at the evidence and the evidence was there already that UT isn’t back yet. Sadly, the evidence spoke for itself again today. Gitmo is not an SEC caliber QB and our Oline is overrated. We are getting there, but not there yet. Go Vols. Congrats to GA.
