Heres my .03 worth. The girls school fans could easily look at our UT and Arkie games and see ineptness....although we had our way with UT in the first half. Look at our games:
UMass was a struggle...but played in a monsoon and they played other teams tough.
UKwith QB Drew Barker we blew outta of the water
North Texas was tough, JDR threw picks and then got injured
UT again we dominated the first half and they came back strong
Vandyreally tough road game and VU has already beaten UGA & Ole Miss to prove they arent a pushover
Game postponed
Mizzou we pretty much dominated them on defense
UGAgame was never really in doubt imo
Arkiethey were fired up with a weeks rest and were looking to bounce back after being spanked bad by AU. We were beaten badly in every phase.
S Carolinawe got redemption
LSUWhat a difference pent up emotions make!
Girls School This game bothers me because it requires full blown intensity 2 weeks in a row...do we have it in us? We will find out.

No matter the outcome...we have shown that young players are being developed by our coaches....Vosean Joseph's hit on Eitling is a classic that will go down in history. They could have been up 14-3 if they score TD...instead a botched FG and then the 98 yd bomb! Our younger players are fired up and havent played the long stretch of snaps like the regular starters...so they have fresh legs.

Reese will be an All SEC player imo soon. Dude has "it" factor. He made a sure handed tackle on LF in the late 3rd qt that was good to see. Gardner has "it" also and he will play a ton next year. Cleveland is a big body WR that will score some TDs for us.

Wont say we win but wont say we lose either against the ketchup & mustards.

We broke the record for least yards permitted in our school history, that's not really tough.

That aside:

I'm not just taking this by numbers or where they struggled, I watched the games full, all the way through.

They outrecruited almost every team that beat them (two at home) and should have lost to Miami outside of a blocked PAT.

I'm also looking at what they've done the whole year on defense -- and even as bad as our offense has been -- their defense just looks bad. At every phase aside from offensive line.

Literally every game I watched UNC (lost to Georgia) just marched down, Clemson made it look like they were playing against a high school defense and Louisville (didn't watch because it wasn't competitive) killed them.

We have a signature win over LSU at home and a 4 point difference in victory than Alabama.

It took a miracle, but I honestly think LSU would get six hundred yards on FSU. Their defense is just that porous.

I'm not saying FSU can't win, in fact, they probably should, but nothing from what I watched makes me ''afraid'' like I was against LSU.

If we play smart, if we eat up clock and control Cook, we win easy. Francois can run as well, but he'll get clobbered like Etling did and not do it again.
