A few of my thoughts based on where the teams stand today. This can all of course change as the season progresses

- Florida will be tough to beat - they are legit. This is going to be our toughest test ahead of Bama. I'm glad we have them at home

- TN is improved but still not there. It will be an MSU type game for us.

- I'm really looking forward to playing Auburn this year

- I am less worried about Ole Miss. They are more pathetic than their usual selves.

- Arky is still looking unsettled and they will probably lose to Bama but still expect them to bring their best for their national championship game (which is us)

- Not enough data on Bama. Defense looks solid but jury is still out on their offense/qb play


What else?

Florida's secondary is very undisciplined.

Bama's defense looks solid but they haven't played any offensive power yet this year. Penn States Offense could only get 14 on temple. Bama is still a big question mark for me.

We're not a pass heavy team but for this game we may need to be. It kinda plays into their hands though I think Lee is a lot better than he ever was.

I don't know if they're undisciplined or they're taught to grab jerseys...

Muschamp didn't realize only Saban coached teams can get away with doing that.

I just hope they don't consistently run their gimmicky shite on us after going 0-6 in the league.

Lee should unleash the dragon against UF. Accuracy is a non-issue. As soon as Lee releases the ball the UF db's will just tackle our receivers for an easy PI

I don't buy this UF show. They were stopped by UAB and had to kick 4 FG's. If our DL continues to grow and play to get better each week, Brantely is not going to have the time to throw the ball that he had today. That secondary had a combination of 9 interference or holding penalties that were called. There were at least 3 that were not called. Remember that UT is very young. They are going to catch someone sleeping at the wheel. I hope its not us. Bama will beat UF you can book that!

Didn't they hold TN to negative rushing yards today? Its their D that worries me more because it counters what we are good at which is running the ball.

He's still shell-shocked from last year.

Honestly, I see the UF game differently.

They play Bama before they play LSU. That will be a physical game for them.

LSU will put pressure on Brantley

I think Chavis will have Tyrann spy Rainey most of the game

The game is in Tiger Stadium

All of these factors have me confident about the outcome of the game.

Of course, things can change, but at the moment it appears that our OOC schedule was more difficult than our conference opponents, with the exception of Bama and Fla (and possibly Arky by the end of the year).

FLA is very fast. If our defense makes a mistake they will go to the house. We will have to be able to pass the ball, their defense will stop the run. Kinda like pass to open up the run.

ALABAMA is just going to be a war. I am not scared of their offense but can we score on them it will be a low scoring game.

Watch for TENN if LSU overlooks them it could be a tough game. They have a good passing attack.

It is looking like if LSU plays there game each week and stays focus week to week. This could be our season for another NC. we will see
