Great Moments in Schadenfreude: Vols Lose

If you're up late or rising early tomorrow, make sure you check out the Vol implosion on their message boards following the debacle in the Rose Bowl:

UCLA beat the Vols despite their third string QB throwing four interceptions, losing two wide receivers and starting running back in the first quarter. When a Pac-10 school (not named USC) beats you via better defensive execution and more physical play, you've got issues.

Georgia and Auburn will have better defenses than UCLA this year, and Alabama will be at least comparable. Georgia, Auburn, and Florida will all have better offenses than UCLA. In other words, the Vols have a lot of big picture issues to figure in an awfully big hurry.

PS -- What was so different about this "Clawfense" offense versus every other UT offense that we've seen for the past 20+ years. I saw some new formations, but it fundamentally looked like the same old thing. Only it was less productive than the Cutcliffe version.

I'm in a giddy state of bliss.
