Tennessee and LSU seem like a foregone conclusion on the road.

9-3 seems highly possible with 8-4 at worst with a home loss to either Missouri or South Carolina?

Defense is so bad that we could lose to any SEC team left on the schedule

I mean, we just beat one of the best teams in the nation a week ago, so I'd venture to say that it's not some ludicrous notion that we can win out. But yeah, after today's game, it's hard to know what to think. They'll either regroup and become more focused or they'll crumble. Kinda hard to say at this point.

I would say we finish 9-3 or 8-4.

I realize everyone is melting, but no they don't. The team looked like the best in the country a week ago and now looks bad. No reason to confidently predict that the latter trend will hold any more than the former. If DeBoer's historic trend of getting up for big games and down for small ones continues, expect a slog against South Carolina and then to come out on fire against Tennessee.

The first half against Georgia seems like a decade ago at this point. The team hasn’t been the same since.

9-3, imo. Losses to Tennessee (which I already thought we'd lose before today) and Oklahoma.

Not sold on LSU at all- last time they played anyone with a pulse was the SCar game they should've lost

This is still a team talented enough to win the National Championship. The issue will be the mental aspect and coaching.

This team is very uneven. Their mindset is weak (up/down). Coaching has shown a lot of big blunders, as well. The 2nd half of UGA was very dirty.

Our offense scores so quickly, our defense is going to be incredibly tired by EOY. That's a problem. I think your offense can be too explosive but if you are too explosive, you have to play sound defense with less splash plays. I personally don't believe you can "SWARM" with a tired defense. It leaves a lot of holes and going to cause issue.

We will find out what DeBoer is made up with how we finish the year.

The game swung with an unforced error by having two #2s on the field.

13-7 and Bama was getting the ball. Instead Vandy makes it 20-7 and the momentum carried the rest of the way,.

100% having the same jersey numbers on the field is DUMB and cost us 7 points and we lost by 5.

Offense probably going to have to play a perfect 60 minutes in a few of the big games to do it but I agree with that.

Also, realistically.... any option scheme is a bitch to defend. That game was a PERFECT STORM.

They ran the ball 54 times and avg 3.1 yards per play. That isn't awful.

If any of these plays changed.... Bama wins by 2 TDs.


- Two 2's on the field. Kills a Punt Return.
- Facemask gives life on another Vandy drive.
- Ryan Williams Catch/Fumble rule (I thought it was a catch & fumble).
- Flukey Pick Six
