aTm's jump is justified by the eye test. As much as I dislike them, they impressed me the most in week 1.

people are worrying about TAM for no reason. they may annihilate everyone else but they wont beat us and they wont beat bama.

that offense always does this, sumlin came up under joe tiller, dennis erickson, and mike price, the single or no back spread will always run wild on an average defense and then slam into a brick wall when it faces a good one. its weakness is as unavoidable as its strength.

its a very simple offense to teach, that's why it always has such consistently good QB play, even from freshman, but its also simple to stop if you have the right type of players. and we do. which is not a coincidence, it's the type of players Miles and Chavis want, it's an army of tall, strong corners and speed off the edge.

a team like TAM will always win 9 or 10 games a year but it wont win a title except through sheer random luck, unless they somehow manage to never face a good defense.

I am with you that we should not be scared of aTm because of our strong secondary/ Chavis/ speed.

However, aTm has scored 29 and 42 vs. Bama under Sumlin. They will likely do the same this year.
