Good time for a bye week.

[S.C. OrangeMan]

Get over the very physical Okie game.
Replace the wrecked equipment truck.
Avoid playing in the big storm coming in from the Gulf.

An extra week to nsbe out score with Arky.

Bye week came a great time - 1/3 thru the season, so we are starting to get an identity and we know what we need to clean up this week.
As OP said too, rest up from that physical beating at OU, especially the O Line.

Second bye week sets up nice as well.
Road win against Arky, host Florida, then the first BIG one when we host Bama - we will need that second bye week at that spot to get ready for the final run of 2 home games, THE road game at Athens, finish up with UTEP and Vandy.

All of the sudden, this schedule is looking very, very manageable and very friendly.

They're both spaced out very nicely.
