Go Wells and Tennessee fans in the back up off of Josh a for a little bit look what he’s did for Tennessee look where he was before he came give him a break and go walls football and I really do think it went for just a couple misplays that would be undefeated right now and I don’t think if our defense was a little bit more experienced I firmly believe we would be 11 and 0 and go Big Orange
