We can beat anyone in the SEC….and we can lose to anyone. Buckle up for a wild rest of the season boys and girls

Honest assessment is we need to start scheduling a warm up game or two under Kelly because we always come out looking like arse initially but actually get coached up and improve.

everything is still ahead of us for the taking, wish we could’ve discovered Durham’s emergence before USC but we’re here now.

We have a chance to beat the rest of the schedule except the Tide. Their just better this year.

Edit: the denial is real(downvotes )

Our defense is still suspect. They are good against the run but good accurate QBs will torch our secondary.

Yep. That's about right.

Offense is improving now that we have a run game. Durham has to stay healthy. That should boost our red zone efficiency.

Defensively the front 7 is getting better every week. DBs remain a mess. Someone has to step up. Trey Harris of Ole Miss is the best WR in CFB based on yards and we need to find a way to bracket him and minimize his effectiveness. If Zy is healthy that will make a huge difference.

Tigers will likely be an underdog to only Alabama and @A&M

We have a huge problem at safety that Ole Miss and probably Bama can exploit to the point that it gets really ugly

No we can not beat Bama with our defensive backs they will toast us. I hate to say it.

Baker is a good DC, that unit shows steady improvement. What he does with the guys will be interesting going forward.

Swinson and Smith are really progressing as players. The middle of the line is getting better. Bo knows D Line and it shows.

The Weeks boys play hard. Penn plays hard too. Penn looked good against FCS competition but has not against better teams. Hopefully this group keeps improving.

The DBs may surprise us and opponents as they grow together. There is improvement every week. Corey is doing work.

The offense is fine and can keep us in any game. As the running game moves towards Durham they are getting better on the ground. Nuss and the O Line are good. Hilton getting back will be good news.


Are we ready for Texas, Georgia or Bama? Hard to say. Will Ole Miss be tough? For sure. Would Kentucky be a battle? No doubt. We are in the top half of the conference but winning down the stretch of the season requires that we get even better.

Yes. Couple of better passes last night would have resulted in more points.

He still had 176yds and 1 TD vs them. Dart had 85 yards to his other receivers.

Is that they are not in the same realm as Alabama.

Everyone else can be got.

Sure. We just need their players in the secondary

That’s the problem.

Can’t agree (but would like to). Don’t see us hanging with Texas, Georgia, or Alabama. Ole Miss is still an unknown after watching UK beat them in Oxford.

The fact that an intro game against a lesser opponent is not a default scheduling factor is ridiculous.

Like if any of us did stupid shite like that in our jobs, we'd be fired on the spot.

Instead LSU does it year after year after year.

It's un-fathomable.
