re: it was amazing to see, but the defensive guys looked confident as hell.

they are still tinkering with who can play at this level....our staff did a horrible job predicting this in the offseason. But they ARE allowed to improve week to week.

Now, this doesnt mean Alabama, Ole Miss, and others arent going to improve in congruence with us. It just means you'll see better football. This is a better team than the one that lined up across from FSU.

At least they have the fight, just are inexperienced, but they can be taught. Its been my experience many people these days have swag before they ever back it up with game.

It’s a lot easier when you have options that have been in the program a while. When you are forced to rely on true freshmen and transfers sometimes their film and practice performance doesn’t translate. The off-season can’t always replicate game day.

Hell, we can see it. Why can't professional coaches who get paid gobs of money and spend all this time with players at practice and watching film? Jefferson should be playing at minimum 50% of the snaps. Womack, Yaites, and Stamps should be much more involved. At least they've figured out how good Whit Weeks is. Let's just hope he starts and plays most of the snaps even after Speights returns.

So having several months to figure it out wasn’t enough time but on the fly during the season is?

Will they ever stop running full speed at quarterbacks just for him to move out of the way over and over and over again while they dive in the dirt, just so the quarterback can complete a 25-yard pass on 3rd and 20?

Y'all are nuts

We traditionally played 2 creampuffs, and either a decent unranked team, or very occasionally a good ranked team, to start the season. That's because the team was a work in process early in the schedule, and that was when your team was guys who'd been there a couple years in the system. NEW guys were the random spectacular freshmen who were physically better, but you still had to get them used to your scheme.
You didn't want to play a marquee opener until you had a very experienced team coming back.

Now the past couple years, we've been plugging in guys from the transfer portal. Look at the secondary- these guys aren't high draft prospects, they're average players... with zero experience working together, and trying to learn a new system.
