Yeah forgot about them, trap there for sure. This is supposed to be their best year isn’t it? Not joking.

That's why it's great to have a coach who's one of the best at having his players ready for each & every game. Do agree it's a daunting schedule but hopefully we'll have better luck with injuries this yr. Also won't be surprised if Auburn & Lsu lose more games than people think. Bad draw for Auburn getting Kentucky the 1st game even though there at home.

Good grief, Plumlee as a true freshman ran up and down the field on our Pete Golding defense. That kid can run and with uncanny quickness get out of harm's way consistently. A great athlete playing QB trumps a lot of deficiencies in today's college football. He is going to be a handful for everyone on the schedule. Kiffin is going to scheme the hell out of this mismatch.

And they still lost by 28 points last year, despite scoring 33 points. Bama's defense will be much better against the run this year.

Once again, Ole Miss doesn't have the talent to stay within 21 points of Bama.

Every year is a different time and is impossible to calculate. Kiffin will be a better coach than Matt Luke. No Tua, Jeudy, Ruggs, and I seriously doubt the same explosive offense will be showing up in Oxford.

Having much better talent on defense is a given. Injuries and youth basically bought Golding one more year. Expecting fundamentals and scheme recognition with our players to be much improved is still the big question. Ole Miss on the road will be one of those teams that give us that answer. I'll personally wait to see it for myself.

Bama will have the best offense in the SEC this year and will be able to name their score on every team not named Georgia, Texas A&M and Tennessee. Bama should still hit the 40s against A&M and Tennessee.

This Bama team is still loaded on offense. Mac Jones has the talent to lead a best in the SEC offense, but if Young lives up to his potential, he could take the Bama offense into the stratosphere.

Not news to anyone here. But with what offensive identity? Sark talked about running the ball more to set up the passing game in his presser. That sounds more like the ground and pound, ball control, field position than what we've witnessed the last 2 seasons. Having the best OL, Mac Jones skill set, and possibly the deepest running back group in the SEC makes those comments very doable for my money.

So let optimism ring, but with what offensive identity? Stay tuned, cause coach Saban is not answering that one in one of his pressers. And pity the poor media dude that forgets that little gem and lets her rip.
