UT stats

[sgtwebb1]

Interesting stats that I wanted to share.
Of the 76 players on the UT travel roster as of game 1;

76 players
22 true freshmen
34 who had never taken a snap at UT
56 with 1 year or less at UT
only 13 players who had played at UT in 2013

Still one of the top 3 or 5 youngest teams in all of FBS football.
I said it before the season started in 2014, and I'll say it again.

2014- they play a boatload of freshmen, and take some lumps, but end up better for it.
2015- field a much improved team, but still take a few lumps due to playing another boatload of freshmen.
2016- deal out many more lumps than they take, due to the experience level gained in 2014 & 2015. Strong contenders to win the East, and field a strong challenge for the SEC title. Should be an extremely interesting November. :)
2017- the sky is the limit. Yeah, Dobbs will be gone, but they've got a huge amount of Jr's and Sr's from 2014 and 2015's recruiting classes coming on strong.

Stats don't lie.
Every game they win this year, will be won by an overwhelming majority of kids with a year or less playing time at UT.
I'm not going to respond to any replies due to the level of childishness spewed by some, so have at it. :stir: :poke: :pop:

Yup, still one of the youngest teams in all the FBS.

Funny how people try to disagree with facts

Please stop posting facts. ;) I agree on next year being the year they need to get it done although a year earlier wouldn't hurt my feelings.

I agree 100%, and if someone had said prior to the game that we would lose to OK in double overtime, I think most would have been thrilled with the development to this point.

HOWEVER. Butch and staff really ticked a lot of Vol fans off with the way they coached that game and gave it away. That is why everyone is so negative.

A win next week would help, but honestly, I am not very confident.

UGA has already played 20 true freshmen (multiple starters) and rely heavily on sophomores and freshmen on offense... This is college football, all of the teams are young; Just saying...

None of this will matter on Saturday! Smack talking rights for the next 12 months are at stake. Will the streak finally end or will it go to 0-11? That is the only fact that will matter. [emoji3]
