Many of you remember that it was the AFTER Peyton Manning had moved on to the NFL that Tennessee broke through and won the SEC Championship and the National Championship. We remember because we were a casualty in Tee Martin's run. Phil Fulmer couldn't figure it out with the best QB in program history but the year after...eureka.

Which one of our QBs could be that guy? The more I think about it the more I am convinced that Dan will play Damian Williams. If the rest of the team gels and picks up the slack we could see a better team this year than last year.

Before you slay me let me explain that I am in no way suggesting that Williams is better than Dak but that the rest of the team can be better than what Dak was playing with.

Defense is better with a better coordinator who actually came from USC rather than MTSU or Florida Atlantic.

The offensive line and running game almost literally can't be worse. We have talent in the backfield that just needs to be used. The OL has more experience and better players available.

We have talent at WR and TE that just needs to be utilized by the QB.

Put that all together and we have a chance to do well post Dak.
