I'm sure you realize I made this thread last Friday, before the Ole Miss game.
And feel free to point out where I changed my tune.

I think this team has a lot of potential once the offense gels and the running game gets more established.
That said, I wish our offense will get off to a little faster start instead of completely going with this strategy of setting things up for the second half. We have a bad habit of not scoring TDs until well into the 2nd Quarter, which allows teams to hang around. I'm not saying we have to come out guns blazing but I think we have to do better scoring TD's earlier.

I think getting over the Ole Miss hump is going to be huge for this season. The next two weeks we will get the little things fixed like excessive penalties in a game which he gave up a few more last year at this point plus we gave up more sacks last year. How well this team progresses will be determined in October.
I also think we are ahead of last years team at least stat wise.
2015 through 3 games:
864 passing 6 TDs but 5Ints
673 Rushing 9 TDs
109 total points(all on the offense)
70 points allowed
D Henry 54 rushing attempts for 370 yds 7TDs 6.9yds per carry
2016 through 3 games:
732 yds 5 TDs but 1Int
700 yds 8TDS (we also have 86 negative yds or it would be higher than 700)(running QB and jet sweeps can have that effect)
138 total points(35 on returns and D)
59 points allowed
D Harris 36 rushing attempts for 327yds 1TDs(Bo was used for RZ TDs so the reason Henry had so many more in 3 games but Harris is getting better yardage on a lot fewer carries at 9 yds per carry.
Overall I like where we are at compared to last year especially with the way our D is playing. Our O should get better and are not far off from where we were last year production wise at this point but our D is ahead of where we were 3 games in last year.

Exactly.
The offense is ahead of where it was last season...with a fricking true freshman QB and no Heisman RB or any experience at the position. The frick is wrong with our fans?

Yeah, I don't get the hostility towards either posts of yours.
This team is capable of becoming a very good team but has some serious ground to make up to get to the elite level.

How can you, I'm the same breath, that you believe the Hurts/the offense will improve enough to become this awesome team? If that is the case, what is there to complain about? I ask this because there is a VERY obvious condition here. Hurts is a freakin' true freshman. How can you ignore the fact that he will have growing pains and need to improve as the year progresses? That shite is just understood.
I see him being exactly where most of us thought he'd be. Or hell, even more advanced than most thought he'd be. You say he's bad, and defend a guy who says he's pathetic. I don't know what's hard to understand here.
So, if he's doing ok and you expect him to improve...it means this thread is way different than your last and your posts in the "Hurts is pathetic" thread.

You can't start off with a false premise, and build your argument off that. I have never, anywhere, insinuated that Hurts is "bad". In fact, I can show in both threads where I've said the opposite. I've said he needs to work on his passing. Not the same thing. So, start over if you want, or admit that my stance hasn't changed at all.

I'm too lazy to look for the other threads. Plus it's gameday. We have to be friends on gameday
Oh and congrats on the 1911
