So the bama D is pretty good after all? They just fell flat in kville? Unlike every other game? Two 20s, one 26, the rest single digit and then just that one time they slept and let UT score 52?
That makes a lot more sense than UT having a pretty good O and stretching teams out, forcing them into shootouts.. sure.
UT has 10 games straight scoring 30+... that didn't have anything to do with it either...
They scored 45pts before halftime, and after retiring hooker for the game 3/4 through the second. They could have scored 90+ with ease... im glad they didn't. The second and third string- extremely young- needs all the reps they can get.
Like bama, UT can't do anything without their starting QB at the helm. Even against a div1aa school. (I still refuse to use fbs and fcs)..
That matters and why I bring it forward. An injury to hooker and this unexpected dream season turns into a nightmare.
I'm tickled about the UGA fans... they act as if they've always been there and are par with dynasty teams... theyre good, for sure, but they are Johnny come lately's.. theyre looking down their short snouts at UT in one breath, and then the same people are putting out social media posts demanding none of their fan base sell tickets to UT fans, going as far as to say "don't let them stay with you and if you do destroy their tickets".. what a bunch of clowns- either theyre worried or they aren't....
I'm worried about UK. It's going to be a dog fight... that rivalry has heated back up in the last few years with UK climbing as UT fell... basketball rivalry doesn't help it much either. Theyre going to be tough.
LSU did UT no favors taking Ole miss out of contention. A rematch, if there could be one with bama, is going to be painful. Saban won't let that happen twice. However, ypu can't help but like Kelly and that team... theyre starting to really click like somebody predicted they would (and was stomped down by a LSU fan for suggesting such)..
UF is last in the nation on 3rd down stops. Dead. Last. This coach ain't gonna work out. He's a blowhard. UGA should mop the floor with them- but these rivalry games are a different sort... I'm hoping it's a dog fight that hangs over uga...
USCe is starting to click, too.. question is "at what level" and that's hard to say. They made a worn down and limping aTm look pretty bad. Jimbo just plain sucks. Whats happening to them, as a program, is similar to what happened at UT- too top heavy- too many prima donnas- too much arrogance backed by reputation instead of production... you can only get so many miles out of beating bama the year prior.
The Texas OSU game was a good one. I like Texas, and I like the cowboys. I dont have a dog in the fight but will say Texas is one decent QB away from being a damn good team.
