Let’s be honest: The Tennessee offensive line was, for the most part, horrible last year. Just an improvement from horrible is bad, which isn’t going to be good enough to compete on a week-in, week-out basis in the SEC. Plus with the expectation that at least one of the true freshmen is going to play, growing pains are to be expected. One should expect the Vols to be better up front with all of the quality additions and the potential return of Smith, but how much better will they be?

Yeah, that looks like it’s gonna end well.
