re: Will Dan Mullen ever get a "Big" win?

He's come close several times, so yes he will. It took possibly the game of Patrick Peterson's life for LSU to hold on and beat them a few years ago. He nearly beat Auburn and Alabama last year.

The guy is a good coach. Is he a great coach? I can't say, but if he ever gets a QB that can run and pass, look out.

For me Dak is too inconsistent as a passer right now, however this is a new season and he might improve his skills and be the QB Merlin needs real bad, the duel threat kind.

I think the SEC west is gonna be even more stacked than normal this year. Ole Miss should be good, A&M will still be good, Arkansas will be a lot better, Miss State should be pretty good, and LSU, Bama, and Auburn will all be stacked.
