But (puts on flame suit) I did see hints of sputtering and out of synch type stoff when JJ came in the game vs UF... delay of game, false start, and wasted timeout.
Noticed you overlooked the 2 for 2 in goal line TD conversions and 3/4 passing for about 70 yards with a couple of nice QB runs.

We have a winner!!

1. Offensive line
2. QB play- I don't cover my eyes when the ball is snapped anymore
3. I knew our defense would be strong but we dominate against the run and try throwing on us. You will regret it.
4. Our kicking- Wing boots it every time when we are forced to punt and I don't believe we have missed a FG all year.

1. Jarrett Lee's play. I did not expect him to be terrible, but his play has FAR exceeded what I thought we would get. He has taken care of the ball, thrown accurately, thrown it well down the field, and played QB at the highest level we have seen since 2007. I believe he is at 8:1 TD:INT right now. I never saw this coming, but I hope it continues.
2. Brad Wing. I was worried about punting coming into the year, but Wing has been dynamite.
3. The FB's. I did not think we had much at this position, but Stampley has delivered some crushing blocks, Hilliard gives us some versatility. Especially with the type of offense we are running more this year, this has also been a pleasant surprise.

Been very impressed with Brockers and Logan.

QB play, which we had to have improve, has improved significantly. I was optimistic for improvement, but am pleasantly surprised at the degree of improvement.
Jarrett Lee is the best QB in the SEC. Jordan Jefferson is the best backup QB in the SEC. Who would have thought, in August, we could utter such things after 6 games?

1) Dominating wins versus 4 Top 25 teams (3 away from TS) without any serious heart issues.
2) The offensive firepower - beastly ground game with quick strike ability for the long play.
3) The ability to switch offensive personnel packages without looking like a Chinese fire drill. I know...that's :waisist:
4) Alleman has been money filling in for Jasper. Wing's punts have been aus-some - and he is fluent in English.
5) NO turnovers in the last 3 games and only 3 all year.
6) The Shady's preseason fiasco has had little impact on the quality of play on the field. I know it adjusted the QB personnel. The rant thought it would have a crippling effect on the season, yet somehow Les and the Tigers have managed the "distractions" like champions.
7) Miles and staff have been outstanding.

1) Every game, we are clearly the most talented team on the field, and we play like it. Speed and size and strength and FOCUS. No unforced errors, no stupid mistakes
2) Our depth is unprecedented. We got no preseason love on all-SEC rosters, but I'm not convinced our 2nd and 3rd squad players won't get some post-season votes.
3) How dominant the 4th quarter run game has been. Ware for 3 in 1st begats Ware for 15 in the 4th. You can just see in 2nd half when the other team concedes they cannot beat us.

I was shocked to see how good our run game is. I knew we had an experienced line, and a good back in Ware. However, we're running the ball a LOT and everyone knows it. The problem is they can't stop it.

The steady play of Lee and the production of Blue.
The overall depth of the team. Best in my memory and I go back to the 60s

the play J. Lee and the o-line

This team is full of surprises. You never know who will make the big play each game. That's what surprises me.

This to me is one of the most important stats... It led the Saints to their Championship.

-That bringing in Krags and Stud to the booth has improved the offense as much as it has. I am sure Crowton was the culprit for out offensive inadequacies the last two years.
-The kicking game has not lost a step from last year.
-The defense is as fast and ferocious as advertised.

I've been pleasantly surprised by the offensive creativity. Yeah, we line up in the "I" and cram it down people's throats, but we do a lot of different things out of that basic look that keeps defenses guessing.
The offense is somewhat unpredictable, something that was sorely needed under Crowton.
