First things first: Oregon deserves its number 2 ranking. Actually, it may deserve a number 1 ranking. A lot of those guys will be playing in the pros. Johnny Football? Why not their starting qb? He hit his players in stride every time - except when he was running for first downs. He made it look easy. I don't care who they were playing, they were that good! Watch this season progress, and I think this win is just another easy one in an unbeaten season. So far, the scores: Oregon 66, Nichols St. 3; Oregon 59, Virginia 10; Oregon 59, TN 14. Notice the similarities?
Now for Tennessee: They are 2-1. They are undefeated in the SEC. I hope and believe this game is an aberration. We have more losses in us, but not like this (I hope).
I do not believe Tennessee has a Heisman candidate this season at QB. I am not against changing qb's, but I am not sure that it is going to be a cure-all. I guess it is worth a try though. I have always thought that a qb who CAN run is a major advantage in college football. Nowhere was this more obvious than in today's game.
The SEC is about smash-mouth football, and we may be better prepared for that, instead of all that speed. However, I hope that we can recruit much more for speed. Say what you want to about coaching and formations. Speed makes most of that a moot point. If there was ever any doubt, then today should end that.:cray:
I haven't watched a whole bunch of games this year, but I suspect that Alabama and Oregon are easily the class of college football. We should go into every game with a plan to win; however, as fans we should understand that we are not the only ones on the outside looking in, when it comes to matching up with these two teams...After 2 or 3 recruiting seasons, we should expect to compete with them...Now, however, we should not judge our team by these two games. We just aren't there yet, and shouldn't expect to be.
Having said all that, let's try to continue to enjoy the season, support our team, and look hopefully to the future. If we do support them, they WILL win some more games this year. It's better than the alternative, if you ask me.
