Well Texas doesn't look impressive on offense, so I think our defense will give us plenty of chance to win that game.




I said the same thing.

Texas is good, I'll grant you that. I don't get the hype with Manning. If he didn't have that last name, he wouldn't have all this publicity.

They won by three against TN.

They're hardly unbeatable.

I'm surprised that they didn't flip flop with Georgia in the rankings. I get it, rankings mean little right now but just the same, I'm surprised the two didn't flip flop.

Arch (see: Chambliss).


Arch is good but he's nowhere close to Chambliss.


He can scramble and run and he's a decent passer but you get him pressured and he panics.

Yeah. If we get to that game with 1 loss, I’ll be surprised.

There’s a lot of football between now and then.

Hopefully the OL gels by then. OL usually takes some time to figure things out. They are looking much better.

Too many games until then. Things change week-to-week.

You forgot to mention that Death Valley needs to be in full force. The fans need to show up and be relentless.

You do realize Tennessee’s offense is young and they don’t have a great scheme because they are starting a true freshman QB. I think Texas has a good defense, but it is apparent that Tennessee’s offense isn’t the benchmark

That game is so far off it’s not worth effort to analyze. With injuries etc you can’t tell yet. I will say glad it’s at home

Extremely nervous about injuries going into the meat of the schedule


FIFY

Barring injuries on the OL, they will be much better. Barring injury to Jones, our running game will be formidable. Assuming Leavitt is ready to go and continues getting better as a well rounded, accurate quarterback coupled with Jackson Harris, Watkins and Wilson getting better, this is a formidable unit especially if Tre’Dez Green is back.

Barring injuries to anymore defensive starters, they should continue their dominance.

However, all that depends on the health of the team. The same can be said of Texas. This will be in the meat of a grueling schedule right after a good Miss State, Kentucky, a bad, but always dangerous Auburn team, right before Alabama.

Many physical games before Texas and it is a possible let down game after Bama. Although, if Texas is still ranked #1, I don’t see how that could happen.

Who knows what either roster looks like by then. Seems like a pointless discussion to be honest.

And Tiger Stadium will do to Mr. Arch Manning what it did to Archie Manning.

61-17.

Anybody that's "Extremely Nervous" about ANY college football game, needs to take a walk into the office of a Psychologist or Psychiatrist.

Nothing about Texas really scares me. They aren’t some juggernaut. I’m actually beginning to like our schedule. We get Bama, Texas, and Moo State at home. I’m kind of thankful we don’t have Florida on our schedule this year and that we don’t play Georgia. The injuries make it tougher but all of our goals are still achievable, and don’t seem impossible.

You should be more concerned about Kentucky. That’s not a gimme for the Tigers. Neither is Moo U.

Not gonna lie, my primary concern is the same as everyone? That Sam Leavitt hamstring injury. He was really favoring that leg, at one point hopping around with that leg elevated. Clearly, it was hurting.

I trust Coach Kiffin to do that right thing with this young man. But I would hope Coach would let him sit this game (at least) out and let that leg mend.

Things are really going to heat up next month starting with the Kentucky game.

I say let Landen Clark have some snaps. He looks confident out there, and has a pretty good arm and some smarts. I like this guy.
