I'm not sure we've faced the best teams on the schedule, and particularly the best defenses.
NCAA Statistics- Total Defense
1 Michigan (Big Ten) 7 7-0
2 Florida (Southeastern) 6 5-1
3 Army
4 Alabama (Southeastern) 8 8-0
5 Ohio St. (Big Ten) 7 6-1
6 San Diego St. (Mountain West) 7 6
7 Boston College (Atlantic Coast
8 Clemson (Atlantic Coast) 7
9 Louisville (Atlantic Coast) 7
10 Virginia Tech (Atlantic Coast) 7
11 Colorado (Pac-12) 8 6-2
12 Houston (AAC) 8 6-2 509
13 LSU (Southeastern) 7 5-2
14 Washington (Pac-12) 7 7-0
15 Baylor (Big 12) 6 6-0
16 Temple (AAC) 8 5-3 516
17 Auburn (Southeastern) 7 5-2
No other SEC team we have played is in the top 50. Tennessee is #81, Arkansas #83, Texas A&M #94. Speaking of Arkansas, Auburn beat them 56-3. They're evidently much better than last year.

I guess some here would rather have a scared Bateman forcing ducks into double coverage and getting tackled from behind on scrambles.
Sounds like some sour grapes from the preseason QB competition is what's going on here.

For everybody complaining about Jalen at this point... do you guys know of a better option? The coaching staff saw the potential this team had and decided that a True Freshman was the best option to lead this team to a successful season.
For those saying no improvement, if you guys look closely, the kid has all but eliminated the little crow hop from his delivery. It led (along with a little DB holding) to him overthrowing Calvin on a few deep routes the other day.
The point is, he is working on improving, but at the same time in SEC play we can't devote time to developing him as a passer, which is why the gameplan has shifted to more of a Zone-Read/Triple Option type offense.
After his TD scramble, I saw Kiffin pull him to the side and they talked about what he saw (and likely what he didnt see). It's a work in progress, but like we have been saying all along, he is a true freshman for goodness sake.
