I'm pretty confident saying that the freshmen class that is at UT right now will abuse the majority of the SEC by the time they're through. The problem now is defense. They need LB's over 5'10" 210 lbs, they need DT's not DE's playing DT, and they need players that aren't Art Evans and Anthony Anderson playing in the secondary.
and james madison beat VT who beat FSU, but would you take JMU over FSU?

but Ole Miss's secondary was horrendous, and UK beating USC has nothing to do with their defense, which was epically horrible. Vandy was Vandy. and you dont think that a team playing UT has a little less pep in their step than a team playing the defending national champion?

my whole point is that its a little early to project UT scoring 40 a game against the top of the top of the SEC

the point was that the UT offense has not shown the capabilities to score big points against a great defense
