Title: CD's ELA Impression #2
Post by: Cincydawg on September 24, 2018, 12:46:23 PM
After a relatively successful (e.g., lucky) week One I'm at it again.

Arky-A&M

Not seeing much from the Howgs, A&M 45-13.

Florida at Miss State

This is tougher, but I suspect MSU will be back on track and Florida won't get 6 turnovers, MSU 27  UF 13

USCe at UK 

This is the game of the week in reality and UK is hungry and at home, but I think USCe prevails 31-21.

Ole Miss at LSU

LSU 31  Ole Miss 14

Tenn at Georgia

The Dawgs looked a bit off their feed last week in Columbia, but not as much as the Vols, 48-17 Dawgs.

Not sure where the Tigers are headed atm.  Before the season I said the OL was the biggest concern, because of lack of experience and depth.  A quarter into the La. Tech game LSU was down 4 starters from the season's projected starting lineup.  Two of them should be back sometime, maybe by Florida, but at least by UGA, I hope.  One's not coming back this season, if ever.  The fourth guy, there's no word yet, but his injury against La Tech did not look good.  I fear he's done for the year.  So the unit that could least afford it is having its depth tested the most.  

Ole Miss is a bad, bad defense, and I think we win, but I don't trust LSU to operate on anything but fits and starts with occasional explosiveness right now.  

This secondary isn't what I thought it'd be so far either.  Not bad at all, in fact good by most teams' standards.  But outside of Delpit at safety and Greedy at CB, the other guys are beatable.  For anyone who follows the S&P+ adv. stats, according to that my eyes may not deceive me, they indicate this isn't not the pass D we're used to seeing, at least on standard downs.  Still very good on passing downs, according to that.  If the Tigers can get you behind the chains they can still expect to get off the field.  I think Ole Miss is about to put up some points on LSU, we might see if the offense can get in a shootout with a bad defense.  This would be a prime game for some vintage Les Miles pound'n'pound-some-more, lean on them and play keep away.

Fine 24-17.  I missed on the score.

I missed this one of course except for the Florida score.  

USCe at UK

I missed this one entirely.  UK looking good.

Ole Miss at LSU

LSU 31  Ole Miss 14
45-16, sort of a good guess for this week.

Tenn at Georgia

The Dawgs looked a bit off their feed last week in Columbia, but not as much as the Vols, 48-17 Dawgs.
38-12, UGA not consistent on offense at all.  Close enough, tied the series.


So, not as good a week as last week, and frankly no better than average, if that.  Nice game to UK which I did not watch.  They merit some notice from here.  The play at A&M next week and then get UGA at home.  Everything else looks winnable to me (and those games are winnable also, but tests).

Not many, but then UK beat MSU also, and USCe.  I think we have to take them seriously now.
