re: Where is my Sunday John Chavis defense update?

I'm sure Steele will hold Alabama to 20, Arkansas to 20, and Ole Miss to 23.

Oh wait he won't.

I guess we'll see. Last year, we held Alabama to 13 in regulation, Arky to 17 and Ole Miss to 7. So far, of the three opponents we've played this year that we also played last year, only Florida has matched their point total from last year, and they needed a punt return TD and a muffed punt inside our own 10 to do that.

Last year, we had a 3-point lead on Florida with a couple of minutes left and them at their own 25. First play: 73-yard pass to our 2 yard line. Thanks to a dropped pass by a wide open receiver in the end zone on 3rd down, they had to settle for the tying FG with under a minute to go before we made a furious drive for the winning FG.

This year, we took a 7-point lead with 10 minutes left, never scored again, and the defense made that lead stand up for the rest of the game.

He's yours now. We don't miss him.
