Going into the season the thinking was a lot would have to go wrong for this team not to win five games, and not much right for them to win more.

In hindsight it was a good prediction, and if they started the season over, with the same team and same schedule it would probably still be the prediction, because even with some untimely injuries and being one of the youngest teams in college football ,three of their losses should not have happened.

The have 19 commits which should put them close to the 85 limit, so unless Butch Jones decides to hit the portal hard- which would require him to cut some players, they are going to be very young again next season but at least the youngsters will have game experience.

Of course the Portal could change everything about next year for any team.

If they don't lose many to the Portal there is nothing wrong with their team that a little time will not take care of because the pieces are already on their roster.
