Those two guys even without the CBs could have tipped the UGA game to the good guys. I despise Kirby but give him credit. He saw UT's DL worn down and pounded them.

I used to buy that too. I don't any more. Go do it. Execute it. Force later opponents to spend time preparing for it.

No one really escapes... but UT did better than most. Vandy or UK may advance to the middle of the SEC but for now those are all but automatic wins. They're kind of at a high water mark with the current coaches. When those two are gone, it could become a much bigger advantage. Games where...

They're not good either. ASU hasn't figured out their new offense/personnel whatever their losses were. They're averaging under 30 ppg against the light part of their schedule. They're 11th in the B12 in scoring and total O. I'm not saying they're terrible... but would be surprised if they...

The problem there is that UT's O has considerably more talent. There are FCS programs that run a similar style but who do not compare in talent to any SEC team. If I were an opposing coach who could... I'd try to tempo UT considering the defensive injuries. However, if it didn't work and you...

LOL. Imagine you are TAM looking at UT's draw. USCe's hopes for relevance... just died.

Similar in what degree? Talent? I don't think so. Production? Absolutely not. UT scores about 14 ppg more and has clearly played a much stronger schedule. UT is second by .3 ypg in the SEC and 110 ypg better than MSU at 9th... again see the competition. Statistically, MSU is better on D...

Hard to say. We know a lot more about UT than we do about MSU. Their best win is Az St who really hasn't looked nearly as good as expected. None of their opponents have been very good. If they had played UT's schedule, Syracuse and UGA would have both been by far their toughest opponents. I...

He's not playing well on D. The speculation for why stems from his actions and lack of commitment in the off season. He's an elite talent to be sure. But he was involved in a lot of those coverage busts. Maybe if he'd been in the film room and working with his team mates this summer he...

I'm going to say that if the O can play like it did against UGA who probably has the best D in the SEC and one of the best in the country... it will cover a LOT of defensive sins. And that's not to say that the D doesn't need to play a lot better starting with the guy who isn't matching up well...

Don't want to argue it again. I'm on record for what I think of Banks. Nothing personal. Just not as impressed as a lot of people are. There is still plenty of talent. At least enough not to be twisted in knots by UAB.

Who are you talking about with the latter part? He actually does that less by my measure than any coach UT has had in my 61 years. A lot of coaches can't beat Kirby right now. Many can't come close. Fewer still can say "we should have won that game". We've come from not being competitive to...

Well, you do understand that opponents like UGA are harder to game plan than UAB, right? In five years, he has taken a team completely in the dumpster and now has taken the most talented team in the country to the mat... and if not for an errant kick would have been the winner. He still...

Wait. This is the same Chris Doering that played for Spurrier, right?
