Quarterback, running back in Crowell, and WR room in the country. We also have talent and loads of depth on defense. Next week will be a test against UGA, but win or lose, I think we’re legit national contenders

I'm not convinced the defense is good enough to win a championship, but they aren't terrible.

Offense can't be on every game though.

We might have the best TE room in the country too.
Uga has some great ones. I wouldn't trade though. It isn't like they have Brock Bowers 2.0.

There is a correlation between an offense demoralizing a team (like BAMA did State in the 2nd half) and the greatness of a defense. KR12 is the best defender BAMA has.
Uga is going to try everything to keep KR12 off the field. If Kirby thought he could win 7-6 by running the ball every play he would do it.

Uga has not been stressed like what BAMA can do on offense, or defense for that matter. For uga to win they are going to have to rush for 350+ yards or have BAMA turn it over 4x. They are 100% absolutely NOT going to get in a shootout. They are going to play zone and spy KR12 and make him beat them in the intermediate passing game. Everybody talking noise about uga's front 7... Vandy's QBs were 14/25 for 208 yards and 1TD/INT and 34 yards rushing. KR12 bout to EAT.

I remember thinking- "I wish BAMA had a QB who could throw like BY and run like Milroe." Guess what...

The defense gives up some chunk plays and does stupid shite like staring at the sideline while you’re out of position and the HUNH offense you’re facing is snapping the ball….but I’ll say two things about this defense, they will hit your arse in the mouth and they hunt the football.

We’re thin at edge right now losing two guys at that spot, but fully healthy I feel like there’s minimal drop off with our rotations. Kane plays so many guys that nobody is going to be green when they get in the game- that helps a lot when the injuries do come.

If #11 can get up to speed and get more snaps that #7, that would be a big plus. That cat is going to be elite in the future. #18 is a liability when playing pass happy teams.

Our punter is kicking the ball way to low, and the returner is getting a 10-yard start ahead of our coverage.

If #12 plays with poise vs UGA, then we got a chance to win. He has shown already that he's special.

I’m not complaining about any of the ST this year. They are night and day better as a unit compared to last season.

Really glad this one is at home.

Will allow good communication to KR and give our oline that split second advantage at the snap and hopefully keep things calm for KR.

This will obviously be the best defensive talent and defensive coaching he will have faced. Kirby will do some things to confuse KR.
