Wish I could offer more encouragement but the

glaring personnel issues are what they are: terrible OL with no tackles on campus, forcing us to use guards there, which also hurts the G position; WR's that were all projects - couple of track type guys that never could catch, a qb learning to play WR, an awesome punt returner forced out of the slot to play flanker/SE, and not much else - we haven't signed a true #1 caliber WR since AJ Green; DB's are the guys left after the higher rated ones left for one reason or another; DL that's too young, allowing teams to double team TT every play; and I don't know what happened to our OLB's who have disappeared. Aside from the personnel issues, we have the usual first year staff stuff like getting guys to do things differently and buy into the new philosophy. By now, Kirby and Cheney have to realize that they can't play the way they want with the pieces we have. At least for the rest of this year, the coaches have to find a way to scheme around all the personnel deficiencies just to get through the season. Can't see us beating UT or UF. AU and GT look like toss ups. 8-4 or 7-5 and the Belk or Music City Bowl.
