[QUOTE="A.J., post: 1372699, member: 13664"] Now TB, there's not any sense in getting wound up and calling us Tennessee folks names. Ive heard several people that went to the A&M game and were very complimentary and talk about how nice the fans were there and how good of a time they had even though we lost. Maybe we can start a healthy rivalry between our schools. That sure was a fun game to watch even though I didn't like the outcome. Not taking anything away from Bama or A&M cause both of y'all beat us and Its an L in the column for us regardless of who played or didn't, but to midTN's point, there's a difference between youth and inexperience. It doesn't matter how talented or what age players are, if they haven't had game experience, there are going to be some growing pains. That's why generally when a player gets knocked out on a team, the opponent goes right after the replacement guy, since that's often times a weak spot. When you're down to 3rd and 4th string guys that have never played a snap together or in a certain position, especially on the offensive line, things can get ugly in a hurry, especially when your opponent is already superior to your 1st team players like Alabama was. It just seems like it's one of those seasons where UT is snakebit with injuries much more than a typical season. Florida had a season similar to ours with injuries the last year Muschamp was there. What makes Bama so dang tough is they have talent AND depth. Their 2nd and 3rd string could beat almost anyone's first stringers. That's why you see several quality players transfer from there every year, because their roster is so stacked, and the lower level guys could play at a lot of other schools sooner than they could there.
