Observations from the weekend

Just my take on a few things after getting back from Knoxvegas.

Bama is damn impressive. As much as the Auburn alum/fan in me hates to say it, the crystal football could easily end up back in Tuscaloosa this year. The Bama/LSU game is going to be amazing, but right now I have to give Bama the edge.

Unless there is a real fluke, I don't see anyone being able to hang with Bama or LSU in the BCSCG. Wisky may keep it close (under 14 points) but I think anyone else (including OU) lose by 3 TDs.

Auburn's defense finally stepped up to make some plays. Now (as with last year) the team just needs to learn to put it all together in one game. If the offense would click like it was against USU and MSU, and the defense would play like they did Saturday, the second half of the season could be a lot of fun.

No idea why Spurrier didn't use the TO on the 1st down. I know to a lot of people it was another "lucky break" for AU, but LSU proves against Ole Miss you can't snap the ball and spike it wit 1 second on the clock.

From section N at Neyland, the Vols look to have some promise. Bray still needs to work on going through his reads, looking off defenders and not locking on to his #1 target. The kid has an arm, no doubt about that, but he still has some learning to do. I was calling out where the ball was going 75% of the time at the snap, and first play of the game the corner slides in for a blitz of the offensive right side, he ignores it and still goes with his primary on the left.

Also, I am learning that idiot fans are not limited to the states of Alabama and Louisiana nor are they all on message boards somewhere. Some of the calls on the Sports Animal call in yesterday morning were palm to head type moments.
