If we offense gets it figured out, we will make a deep run in the playoffs.

Good teams always have defenses that can keep them going while the offense irons out throughout the year...its the great defenses that stay great all year and get you to the big games.

This defense has been more dominant than 2011 so far.

2011 just had the Honey Badger, so it seems more flashy.

The offense has some problems.

The red zone for one. Leavitt's accuracy and ints.

O-line needs to block better. Especially in the red zone. And Leavitt needs to figure out his inconsistent throwing. Hopefully he was just trying to figure out how tight of a windows he can throw in before the SEC schedule starts. And I doubt Lane is going to run the ball up the gut 3 times in a row inside the 5 again this year.

Our first team defense has yet to give up a td. And only a handful of first downs.

Defense has been great but they will need to clean up the 2-3 busts they’ve had each game.

Chambliss won’t miss them

I agree. Ole Miss is way more of a test than LA Tech or Clemson.

Our defense hasn’t played a real team with a real offense. We have average RBS a QB who is inaccurate and turns the ball over and n average OLine. This looks like a 9-3 team at best

0 net yards at half. 13 net yards through 3 quarters with 4 TO. Unreal, I don’t care who you played.

Gerald’s is a absolute dawg

Pff graders last week did not do him justice, I wonder what they will be for tonight’s game…


Does any website put out the pff grades earlier? I’m curious

We will see, it’s why we play the game and root for the home team. Any team any day can win any game. Wait and see save the melts for end of season

At this point I’d actually rather that, leavit needs to be ok taking a sack and throwing ball away for a field goal try. 3 is always better then 0 and receive will hopefully get better by the end of season as long as we can survive

The season ebbs and flows. There's going to be a game that the offense just can't get into gear and the defense and special teams is gonna have to win it. There'll likely also be at least one game that's more of a track meet where the defense couldn't stop a cold. The offense is productive, but not really efficient. It's all going to depend on Leavitt.
