re: Will your team do better, same, or worst next year?

I agree completely with this minus Missouri. I think they take a SMALL step back with the loss of Lock, but they still have a lot of talent everywhere else.

Disagree. We have solid depth at every position, the only place that worries me next year is the secondary. Everything else should be about even or an upgrade, aside from losing josh Allen. Luckily we have guys ready to strip up. I think we should have another 9-10 win season next year

I agree we have better depth returning than people give credit. Stoops has been recruiting to build something solid, not just one good year and back to mediocrity.

However, I also think you underestimate the impact of Josh Allen. He’s a game changer, on the order of a Randall Cobb but on defense. I’m not saying it was the only key, but teams the teams we lost to were the ones that neutralized Allen.

Overall, I expect Kentucky to be improved on offense and fall off on defense. How much of each, I’m not sure.

Same - Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Texas A&M, Florida


Better - Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri


Worse - Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, MSU, Auburn, South Carolina

Not going to go into too much analysis right now. I think Mizzou lands Kelly Bryant tonight, and in turn that will push us over the edge for being a better team next year. Also, our schedule is lining up perfectly for us to land in Atlanta. Cheers.

Bama - Two games worse

Seriously? What leads you to believe the talent and coaching at Bama will lose two games next year? Bama could easily be just as, if not more, dominant in 2019. Sounds like wishful thinking on your part.

SC will have a worse record, but be a better overall team. Brutal schedule.

Same. Defense will take a step back but will still be top 20. Offense will improve. Net will be 8-4 again

UGA - One game better

And still no NC.. The delusion is strong with that bunch

Better: UGA

Worse: Bama

Will your team do better, same, or worst next year?

---

Yes, they will. And for Christ's sake, it's "worse" not " worst."

Can you fricking speak in English?

LSU should be better. Just about everyone is coming back, Burrow will be more experienced, we're plugging some holes on the lines, and we'll have a real stud at RB that we missed this year, and we have a much more favorable schedule to contend with. That being said, just because things on paper look easier for us, for O, the pressure on him is going to get ramped up big time. If he fails to win 10/11+ reg season games and make a strong case for the playoffs, he's going to have a very hard time explaining that one away. I can see us winning 11 games next season, but we're not beating Bama. If O gets a legit OC then maybe I'll reassess.

Next season will probably be our best shot at the playoffs for a while. It's exciting but also frustrating because we're a legit OC hire away from a very special season. Damn it Orgeron, do what's best for the program and remove Ensminger!
