The sudden surge of optimism is concerning.
It isn't optimism, it is realizing that the SEC / SECW sucks bad this year. This isn't 2014 w 4 top 25 SECW teams + worst team went 7-5
The SECW outside Bama looks like a typical SEC East season where we can ride our defense to ~5 Wins like UF has been doign recently

The five turnovers
A Gus team has never had a negative turnover margin. Hard to be too worried about this. 4 Fumbles in a game is a bad fluke and not a cause for concern
quote:
Did you all somehow miss Stidham holding onto the ball for way too long yesterday?
This is concerning, but it looked like a combo of Stidham slow in reads + refusing to be a gunslinger into coverage due to WR lack of separation
His speed at making reads should improve + improved confidence helps build a gunslinger
quote:
lack of urgency on our offense?
When has Gus ever had a sense of urgency? Gus has never been good at clock management

I see MSU, UGA, and Alabama as losses.
Clemson is easily better than both MSU/UGA and we lost 14-6 on the road with dumpster fire playcalling.
Not sure why MSU beating a Coach O dumpster fire LSU or UGA barely squeaking by a bad Notre Dame makes them sure losses.

We're dangerously close to a losing season if we don't fix a lot of major problems on offense.
If our team doesn't quit / Defense keeps playing around this level, we aren't even close to a losing season.
Mizzou/TAMU/Arkansas/Ole Miss don't know how to play football + we have a cupcake. That is a winning season right there of near guarantee wins if the team just shows up

I think he also just lacks anticipation and knowing how to throw people open. He seems to really only want to make a throw if someone is wide open. Compound that with our refusal to run routes that cause DB's to have to make choices, we really handicap our WR's ability to get separation. When DB's know they can just turn and run with our WR's on routes, they won't be getting open.
