The boys head to Nashville to take on 4-5 Vandy. Good guys are currently favored by 14.5 after the Mack/Keelon news

Mack has been such a great teammate this year. Time for him to light it up. Roll Tide yall.

Really interested to see if we look like a team building for a strong postseason run like I think and hope we will.

Roll Tide

more I-formation plays with less wide receivers spread out.

Get after their azz from the 1st play and don't depend on big offensive plays to win it.

Do we have a team with the discipline to just go whip their azz?

Austin Mack has two weeks to audition for a transfer portal landing spot.

I hope he slings it all over the place and we go balls to the wall.

Mack is going to have a great game. We need the oline to step up because Keelon isn’t back there making up for their deficiencies.

KR does a poor job of stepping up into the pocket on a lot of plays. Let's see how Mack does. Will buy the QB some time to find someone open.

Unfortunately a lot of our pressure is right up the middle. Our worst linemen in pass protection have been guard/center

ETA: Mack has really good pocket presence and does a great job getting it out early from what we’ve seen.

I think KR has great instincts in the pocket and wants to step up if he can but will move left or right in a way that allows him to reload and throw with good technique.

As said above, problem is our pressures are happening from the inside and stepping up is not always there.

Mack's gonna do good if the oline gives him some time. And if not, he can run the ball and take a hit if need be.

Hoping for the best. The fact they’d do this shows this staff believes he can execute at a high level. Mack has been with them for 4 years.

Yeah but it's different times we are living in now. All the stunts and twists that defenses do now are designed to bring more pressure up the middle.

Gone are the days of 1v1 assignments and just worrying about pressure off the edge. Maybe that means football is ripe for a team to come in and run the wishbone right (and left) up everyone's arse.

I said in another thread that we saw last year the results of things spiraling for a hurt, sick QB to the point where he was jelly by the end of the year. I’m onboard with this.

Doesn't help that stopping it is mostly a question of communication and knowing your assignments, but the days of year to year roster continuity are also gone. I think all of the guys who have played this year have remaining eligibility though, so hopefully we can keep at least 4 of them.

Agreed. "Time to gel" is not a line item in the athletic budget

Off topic, but the Oklahoma fans are pissed off on Reddit and talking about leaving the SEC over the Ole Miss delay.

Ummm ok. Go. You were Texas’ tag along in this deal. We’re going to cry over losing your *checks notes* 1 national championship in 40 years?
