I know this is blue font but I've seen this thrown around lately.
The team press pool baited him. I could tell that immediately from the clickbait-iest edit, with no other information yet available. I'm guessing the reporters made more than one attempt until they got the clip they wanted. If what you read included the questions, I would like to read it.
When Levis was asked about the college fanbase that was the harshest, he danced around the answer.
Yeah, but also look at how long it took Georgia to get to that point. Georgia thought "why not us" for decades. They wandered the desert like we have.
Dynasty? Eh. We lack the in-state talent of (the states of) Texas, Georgia, and Florida, and pretty sure we don't have their money either. The only thing we have is a rabid and dedicated fanbase, but until that manifests as direct monetary investment, I'm not sure it's enough to overcome demographics. You can grow it or you can buy it, and pretty sure those who can do both will consistently dominate the future. One bright note: I think that Bama loses the demographics battle and will fade into obscurity after Saban retires.
I've not seen him in his three years beat a quality offense. Have we beaten teams with a quality offense? Sure, but we've beaten them despite the defense. I love coach Heupel. Want him to be here a long time. If championships are our standard, then you better hope he replaces them because we will not win a championship having to outscore folks. Sure we'll win our share but we'll never win a championship with Tim Banks as our DC. If you think so, then more power to you. And to set the record straight, I do not have a hatred for Tim Banks. I do however hate his defensive schemes. People will see it eventually.
I have absolutely made up my mind. I've seen it for three years. You'll see it too, eventually.Even if someone makes a sound argument you have made up your mind. That is what I call stout defense.
Some of the common defense sucks rebuttals:
If it was better it was only the D line and Banks gets no credit.
Ratings don't matter only results.
Who have we beat?
Some of my answers.
UF 2022 - 38 to 33
UF 2023 - 16 to 29 ( if UT scores 38 we win)
AL 2022 - 52 to 49
AL 2023 - 20 to 34 (if UT scores 52 we call it a bloodbath)
Mizz 2022 - 66 to 24
Mizz 2023 - 7 to 36 ( this was a much better offense and also 7 points gtho)
UGA 2022 - 13 to 27
UGA 2023 - 10 to 38 ( I will give you this one)
My main point to all of you is you need to assign blame for lack of good wins where it is due: offense. Heupel built this team to be offense 1st then you expect Banks to carry the water for a team scoring 16 points? GTHO with that silliness. Second Heupel built this defense to be predatory that means the DL has to be best. We'd cry if it wasn't. Third criticize the zone coverage all you want there are fair questions there, but remember they can be better and the secondary be average and the offense not win. All things can be true.
I added 2 paragraphs (above): #82,672.
I just hope their strategy leads to having consistently good teams every year that can compete with anybody.
hole of a program we had before Heupel...I just wanted a consistently good team and it seems everybody else is "championship or bust"
