I don’t think anyone would argue that. But Pruitt has been abysmal as a HC and they haven’t figured out how to utilize it. To’oto’o would be LB1 at Utah. Most of UT’s WR could start at Utah. Don’t know much about the rest but they would have a lot of starters on Utah I’d assume
Helton has been up and down at SC but down moreso lately. They’ve had major injury issues mixed with poor coaching. Talanoa Hufanga would start for Utah, St Brown/Pittman would start. Tufele would play a lot if not start.
Difference is that 1) Tennessee is VERY young and has been out coached, and 2) USC can’t stay healthy, fairly young, and has proven to be outcoached by many teams.
Utah has recruited a lot of these guys and missed. Just as BYU has recruited a lot of Utah players and missed.

Talent gap: USC/TN
Coaching gap: Utah
