Thinking the Hurd distraction was a bigger issue on the coaches and players than originally thought.

Still thinking we win out and win the East at this point.

Been saying this ever since it came to light! Really think that's what's been the problem. We will find out for sure the next 4/5 games!

I actually didn't think he looked that sharp. His mechanics look off....threw off his back foot multiple times when he didn't need to.

Agreed. He made some nice throws but looked very uncomfortable moving around the slightest bit of pressure. He threw a ball or 2 that are very likely picked off by SEC Dbs as well.

Did Mixon get time at DT yesterday?

Still hard to believe that O'Brien, Tuttle, and McKenzie are all gone.

Also have to assume that Alexis Johnson isn't going to play again this year and will get a redshirt.

yea they beat sc,vandy,mizzou,and miss st and all of the sudden they are legit. lol they will get drilled by us and louisville and beat apsu. birmingham bowl.

we got beat by SC, Vandy hung with Auburn the entire game, and Miss St rolled A&M yesterday, who beat us... LOL we are not going to "drill" KY, we are going to have to play four quarters of solid, mistake and turnover free football to win a fairly close one.

I thought he played excellent. Did he make some mistakes? Sure. But, he made some really nice throws, showed some escapability, and that throw he made that was mentioned earlier was a thing of beauty. Loved what I saw out of him.

I saw Mixon mixing it up a time or two.

Saw Mixon playing in the fourth... Hasn't he been playing all year? Remember the first of the season he was making plays. Would love to get some legit info on Alexis' status, he's been a bit of a mystery all season... Really need him back.
What about Butcher, did he play last night? Did Bates get LB time? I don't think I saw him but saw Bryant.

I've been saying all year that it's best for the program if Johnson RS this year. I know we need him right now but if we can make it through the year without him he will help a ton the next 2 years.

No on butcher

Yes on Bates and bryant

Mixon has played DT in 3rd and long spots all year long

Thanks, didn't think I saw Butcher... what an interesting situation with this kid from when he came in to the program to now... hope he eventually finds a place.

Not to be negative about last night, but it would have been a perfect time to practice throwing to our TE's to get ready for the final stretch.... that has been the biggest head scratcher of this offense for me this season with weapons like Wolf and Croom.... feed them for pete's sake! We are going to need throws to them on third down or an unsuspecting second down that turns into a big gain.... Again, hate to be negative, but our TE game has been a complete waste of talent so far this season....

Croom has just about squandered every opportunity he's gotten this year. I don't think there is much talent being wasted there tbh

SC is playing better after Bentley became qb, uk got them early.

Well there's your answer.

They don't set game times based around individual fan bases.

Times are set to draw in the most viewers. There's nothing compelling about those teams/games even if it's for the east.

I don't think it's very compelling and I'm a Tennessee fan.

Edit: I think I see what you're saying now. You're saying from a conference standpoint. At this point I don't think anyone really cares much who represents the east though.

We're on same page now and I agree.

we are 17 in the fpi. not scared of kentucky and mizzou. vandy could give us a game if florida beats lsu the week before and we arent playing for anything, but if lsu wins, we will handle them also.

Jordan Rodgers saw Shoop defense everyday in practice and games at vandy. He said during telecast that this isn't a true Shoop defense because Shoop hasn't been able to install the complex blitzes due to injuries and new rotation every game

He also said if FSU beats Florida it would help us go to Atlanta. Grain of salt on everything he said. His girlfriend is hot though.
