7. The Vols Have a QB
As previously mentioned, there is plenty of star power on this team. You can see it all over the field. On special teams. On all three levels of the defense. In the backfield on offense. As well as on the outside. Not to mention the guy under center.
Because TaxSlayer Bowl Player of the Game Joshua Dobbs made a little statement, himself. Namely, that Tennessee’s in good hands with him at quarterback. UT hasn’t had this much stability at the position since Erik Ainge’s junior year.
While it’s safe to expect a competition for the starting job, it’s also safe to say this: in Joshua Dobbs, the Vols have an athletic elite-11 quarterback who can make plays with his arm and his legs. Factor in Jalen Hurd, a group of top-flight receivers, and an offensive line that should take a step forward and what you get is a 2015 offense that could well be potent.

Agreed.

(for those old enough to remember…)
While, I definately feel good about the way the season ended, and the direction I believe the program is going, I’m going to hold off a little longer proclaiming the program back.
I too remember the jubilation of the SugarVols, and the momentum that we were supposedly riding but I also remember what a flop the 1986 team was. I’m sure Oklahoma felt they were back after laying it to Bama last year. I also remember thinking we turned the corner after 1979 Notre Dame and 1982 Alabama games.
One of the reasons for my caution is still lack of experienced depth. I can’t imagine we will be as lucky as Ohio State next year if Dobbs goes down.
I’m not trying to be negative at all, I just prefer to say ” so far so good” at this time.
Vols are my team have since 1978 go vols I’m die hard fan win or lose I’m a vol. Butch will show he’s the man for big orange!
