Yesterday confirmed my thoughts

Having a good tight end helps.

We have two good ones. I dare say, they will be what gives us the extra push we need to topple the four so most challenging defenses we face this season.

Glad we play Kentucky late in the year. They don't have a lot of depth and their team wears down as the season progresses.

Stoops had that look on his face at the end of the game like a kid that just blew out the candles on his birthday cake. Gotta say, I like that only because Kiffin didn't.

Ole Miss thought that too.

Tennessee has 40 years of dominance in their favor and in Kentuckys head. They have a mental block against UT.

Ole Miss doesn’t have Josh Heupel

Make it a century, man. 40 years is child's play.

Just keep winning, Arkansas up next. You can predict where teams are at 2-3 weeks from now

In the SEC, trench warfare is the final determinant.
We will only go as far as our limitations on the offensive line can take us.
Our 5 starters plus Davis and Johnson have to get and stay healthy.
Otherwise, there are some behemoth defensive linemen that can do what OU did to Nico.
Two strip search fumbles to Bama, UGA, and maybe even UK could be deadly.
Our dline will do its share of damage too, of course.
And our back 7 on defense has been surprisingly stout so far.
Admittedly against 4 relatively weak offenses.
Facing a true running QB in Fayetteville will be telling. His legs are much scarier than his arm, however.

If our oline could just be a little above average, I think we have enough talent at all other offensive positions to put up some big numbers against most of our final 8 regular season opponents.

I still think we end up 10-2, losing to Bama and UGA and we are the 4th team out of 4 SEC teams that makes the playoffs.

Think we beat Georgia, but Alabama will be tougher.

Ole Miss hasn’t lost to Ky in Oxford since 1976.

Hadn't.

Tell me you never played a down of football without telling me you never played a down of football. Bama never played any sort of a prevent D last night. They mixed coverages all night disguised blitz’s and brought 5-6 and even 7 men in every quarter. They played man over most of the night. Never once did they show any prevent. You don’t have a clue about football or defense if that’s what you

I gu

I guess you are correct. I don’t know much about football. By mini prevent I meant how soft their corners were playing and they didn’t blitz nearly as much after half time. I don’t care either way who won or lost that game. In fact I would probably cheeer for communist China against either one of them.

I'm sorry, we were talking about our relationship with Kentucky.

Vandy and Memphis have nothing to do with that.



p.s. But since you brought it up, our record against Vandy since 1928 is 76-14-2, a roughly 84% win rate (have to acknowledge Vandy was a powerhouse a little over a century ago, heh). And our record against Memphis is 22-1, or 96%. In other words, we own both those programs as well. The occasional hiccup doesn't change the fact.

Also The Memphis 1 W would be wiped out in todays replay review. On the TD on kickoff his knee hit and his elbow hit on the spin and back up and UT D paused and he was gone, no whistle and then there was no review. Except the medias replay and announcers and everybody knew it wasn't a TD but was moot back in the day.

No game is automatic in the SEC. It's thinking like that that gets you beat.

I remember not so long ago we felt that way about Georgia State, and it didn't help that Cornbread used the game as a team practice. What a tool.

 

[volbound1700]

Saturday showed me that the top isn't so far away from the middle. There are some bad SEC teams like Miss State but teams like Kentucky can play with anyone.

Tennessee is going to need to worry about other games first and not so much Alabama until we get there and the same with Georgia. October is HUGE for Tennessee. If we come out of October unscathed, we are likely going not just to CFB but Atlanta.

Alabama and Georgia are both really good teams. Both had issues with their secondary. Tennessee has struggled the most with our passing game but some of that seems to be play calling/holding back. Not sure why.

The league seems pretty open to me.

Lane Kiffin is overrated. I have always said that. They lose to someone they shouldnt year in and year out. He will still win 10 games this season but that Kentucky loss is criinnnngggeee.
