Observations after watching some of this weeks SEC games for a second time

A few observations. Not gonna go full retard with a Greg McElroy special soooooooo....being the first week is kept in mind as well:





1. Whatever Alabama has been paying the refs these past couple of years, it's been upped by a considerable margin this year. Some of those calls were absolutely awful. I really don't give a shite cause I gump hard. Penalties and VERY favorable spots/calls helped Alabama considerably.

2. Ole Miss has improved a good bit from last year. Defense hits harder. A very physical team overall. I like the WR corps. God, Bro is awful. I don't care about the 2nd half, he's gonna get eaten alive by a Big 3 defense if he doesn't break some of his habits. Regardless, Ole Miss is gonna be a stiff game for any team in the West, like it or not.

3. Worley gonna Worley. I REALLY like what I've seen from Tennessee in the first game (even though it's just Utah State). They don't look soft anymore and Oklahoma will really show where this team is at. Receivers dropped a few balls but nothing really all that bad. Line play was good for the most part on both sides, so I don't really think that "no returning starters on either side of the trenches" label is gonna hurt them all that bad this year.

This really is the year of the running back. The SEC is SOOOOOOOOO stacked full of em.

5. There were times during the Wisky/ULSU game where I swear I thought I was watching some sort of effed up ripoff of 1/9. It got that bad for both teams at some points during that game. But, needless to say, classic LSU. Classic Miles. I saw flashes of the Hatter towards the end of the game. Does he make a return this year maybe to compensate for his young team? And those DBs get away with murder I swear to God.

6. Hogs going in the right direction. He may not get all the 5 star talent and freak athletes out there, but once his system is in place for a while there, they'll have a stable program and will be more stable than they were under Petrino who had them actually winning 10+ for a few there. Oh and I almost forgot. Bert is fat


7. Auburn is the same. Gus Bus got new tires and an oil change during the offseason and that's about it. I saw little to no difference in their style of play or their production on both sides except maybe a little more fluidity within the offense. Defense definitely manned up after first half and I actually think that was very apparent last year. See the Bama and A&M games. CA-P is a beast and so are the receivers. Looking forward to seeing the A&M-Auburn game.







All in all, my body was not ready for this first week of the season. HOWEVER, it was the most exciting I've ever seen in a while, probably ever. I can't wait to see what this season holds for us.
