The SEC Forum at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I had been pretty excited for the Mizzou @ UGA game, but the point spread makes me think this probably won't be as interesting as I was hoping. 

Still will be interested to see what LB3 can do against the Bulldog defense, tho. 

The Dawg D is not as stout as in the past couple of years of course.  The back end is pretty solid, the LBs are decent, I think the DL misses a nose  tackle able to soak up blocks.  The gave up 20 to Florida of all folks.

I gave Mrs. DeTiger the TV rights for the season, and fortunately Texas plays early in the morning and doesn't interfere with our game.  I wonder if it extends to MLB tho....she's a Rangers fan and they could be playing game 7, possibly. 

Ah well, s'probably better than watching us lose to Bama again anyway.  

I can get on board with all those except MSU/UK, since I don't think MSU can score 27 against a kindergarten flag football squad.

They put up 37 on USCe and 27 on Auburn.  And 7 on Arky.

They scored 13 on Auburn.

I did forget the 37 on USC, however in their other 4 conference games so far, they've scored 14, 17, 7 and 13.  One of those was against the most hapless, wretched LSU defense since Curly Hallman roamed the sidelines.  Needless to say, my confidence in the western Bulldogs is not high. 

Interestingly, the 14 scored against LSU is less than the 17 scored against Alabama, whose defense is far, far superior to the Tigers.  Could've been junk time scores, I don't remember.  

You couldn't engineer a better demise for a secondary.  All four cornerbacks LSU brought in from the portal to shore up the position are out for this game, and longer.  Zy Alexander got injured on the final play of the first half against Army.  JK Johnson suffered a season-ending injury at the end of preseason practice.  Denver Harris and Duce Chestnut...well, nobody knows...they're still on the roster and supposedly "in good standing with the program, but are not actively working with the team," and haven't traveled to any of the away games for a few weeks.  That leaves Sage Ryan at one corner spot, who is a guy you don't exactly want representing a school that called itself DBU fairly recently, and a mix of true freshman at the other spot and nickel. 

Then there's safety Greg Brooks, by far the most experienced and best member of the secondary, who's out with brain cancer since week 3, definitely for the season, probably a career-ender and we just hope not a life-ender. 

And just for good measure, 2022 AA DT Mekhi Wingo had to have surgery during the bye week and is effectively out for the season.  Six weeks recovery time, so they say.....could be back for a bowl, maybe.  Wingo played every single snap against UGA in the SECCG last year out of necessity and gave the Dawg OL hell until he flat wore out in the 4th quarter and they got the better of him.  Would be nice to have a guy like that in T-town. 

Welp....cheer up, you bunch'a true freshman....after your annihilation and humiliation this week, your careers can only go up from there.  Can't wait to see what these kids look like trying to cover Burton and Bond on their own field.
