I think we'll be good. Just not sure how good. We'll return a lot of talent... but it's hard to replace some of the guys we're losing. We could have been playoff good this year, if everything clicked and nonstop injuries didn't kill us.

Yeah, I doubt we'all be a playoff team next year but as good a chance to win the east as we had this year IMO

We have lots of talent coming back, the only real difference makers we are losing are Barnett, Dobbs, Kamara.

Kelly looks for real, just need that 2nd back to step up and help our next year.

Ya, I'm no Dobbs hater, but Im excited to see of Guarantano is a next level QB. Dobbs has saved so many games for us, but I think we need slightly more from a QB to take the next step. I wish our OL showed up more consistently, and I really hope we upgrade Mahoney next year.

You are a Dobbs hater. Lol

But I'm ready to see a few changes. Starting with the OC more than anything.

LB is the problem position and it's glaring. Every other position has the talent for a playoff run. Not at LB next year. We'll have Kirkland returning but no one else. If they are on the roster I don't see it.

Bringing back majority of the offense and most of the defense we've been playing with the last few weeks.

We are really, really gonna miss Barnett. He's the only major guy on defense we're losing. (Maybe Vereen, too)

Contributors lost will be:

Hurd
Dobbs
Kamara
Kendrick
Weisman
Barnett
Vereen
Lewis?
Foreman

Kendrick is a junior.

Losing to Bama won't hurt recruiting. Getting embarrassed and literally quiting in the third quarter will. Injuries and a tough schedule can be excuses. Sure. But getting beat by 39 points by your biggest rival? No.

I will say I am very proud of our defense. They played their hearts out. Honestly, we should have lost by 50 if you consider just how horrible and inept our offensive play calling was and how many times we three-and-outted. Barnett is an amazing dude.

Bama isn't a rival. We haven't been competitive in 15 years.

CB??? They all suck

Out CB's have stepped up the past couple weeks. A&M is a very talented group and we only gave up a few deep passes and I think 240 total. We basically shut down Bama's pass game today. Moseley is also very good in the run/screen game. Had 3 TFL's today. Forman had also been playing very good other than that Ridley TD he gave up

Still not sure why Shoop didn't stack the box, and make Hurts beat us throwing it. It was obvious very early that he was rattled throwing it.

Oh well, doesn't matter. Erase that this game ever happened and get healthy. We all said before the season began that we had the roster to make a SECC game and playoff run, as long as we didn't have significant injuries. Well, we have an astronomical amount of injuries, and a lot of them are to our stars that we couldn't afford to lose. Because of that, we wobble into the bye week at 5-2 with literally barely a leg to stand on. Our best hope is that we can somehow get everyone healthy and back in 2 weeks, except those who are out for the year...JRM, DOB, Sapp. Let's hope KMac is only dinged up and can be healthy in 2 weeks or we are in trouble at DT.

We wouldn't have beaten Bama with everyone playing imo. Alabama that much better. It was eye opening to me. They are truly light years ahead of us (and everybody in the SEC). They will beat A&M in a similar fashion next week as well. It hurts to think how superior they are but it is what it is.

I hope we can get some people healed up because the team I saw last night will not win out imo.

Well, when you can get away with everything under the sun and have no morals and no one to answer to for any wrong that is done, it's pretty easy to do what they are doing. As someone mentioned, they have NFL coaches as quality control coordinators or whatever the stupid title is. They find ways to get around the system. Does anyone really think some of those "QC coordinators" aren't helping coach? Add to all of this that they can recruit and pay kids obscene amounts of money to come there with no repercussions and no fear of penalty, as well as having everyone including the refs who call your games in your back pocket, then it's no wonder they are light years ahead of everyone. As I said, they are corrupt, and everyone knows it. I don't want to be a fan of something that corrupt. I'll ride with my Vols, and if that means losing to a corrupt Bama year in and year out, then so be it.

I agree, just wish we had a level playing field. The deck is stacked against any team not named Bama. Just ask Ol' Miss what happens when you beat Bama a couple of times. Nick had that nipped in the bud pretty quick.

Is this experience or talent? Berry flashed fairly well yesterday. Thought he was out of position a few times but can this be overcome with film/experience.

Next year the East should come down between us and Georgia IMO. We should be the favorite.

Florida loses all of Muschamp's defensive guys and Mac's offense looks terrible. His recruiting has been way below average for a place like Florida, too.

GA will because everyone will be enamored with Eason as a sophomore...this is why we play the games.

I see the injustice that happened while at the game with officiating and can't stand the lack of fairness. About sick of college football. Not upset with our team. Upset with the cheating powers that be in the SEC and NCAA offices. It's a money thing more than young men playing a great sport. Sick of the cheating and hypocrisy.

You think anyone who says anything negative is a hater lol. People are complex enough to have both positive and negative feelings toward someone.

Yesterday drove me to drink.
After the 1st two drives I was basically down on our OLine. I don't know what was going on with the Left tackle but for a DE to do an inside move and be untouched... untouched!!! Is very disturbing

This season has kind of went how I figured for Kamara. I thought there was no point to him coming back bc we wouldn't showcase his skills the way he needed to get into 1st/2nd round.
He is immensely talented man. My goodness.

Hurd shouldn't get more touches than him and we played SCARY Saturday.

I've never seen a thing like that. That overall performance was Dooley level.
