No burst to my bubble at all. I'm terrified of life after Roquan.

The upside is that we have rotated guys in more than you think (thanks to a ton of blowouts this year)... the downside is they gave up the shutout to Florida and made other mistakes throughout the year. In short, when it was exclusively backups, they didn't look great... which is kind of to be expected in some ways, but definitely a concern.

Doesn't mean you cant win with the defense you will have.. as they will get better as mid season approaches, but I foresee a weaker defense early on. The SEC is a defense first conference.

100% agree... I think the best thing they have going for them is next year's schedule sets up reasonably ok.

Austin Peay tune up
@USC - going to be tough one, but would say we at least have a more talented roster... they'll have a shitload more experience
MTSU - tune up part deux
@Mizzou - Just lost Heupel as OC to UCF... likely will domino to Lock leaving for draft... if this is true, just got easier... if not.. dammit. They might score 75
Tennessee - home... who knows what they'll look like
Vandy - home...
@LSU - probably the most talented roster we'll play, uncertain what to expect out of them next season... coaching carousel may change things further (Canada?)
Bye
Bye part 2... - Gators - really don't know what to expect out of you guys yet... Mullen is a good coach, maybe not an ideal fit at QB on the roster yet? Will reserve judgement until I see what you guys put on the field to start next year.
@Kentucky - meh? pretty sure they are losing some talented kids this season
Auburn - home... too soon to tell what roster will be... like getting it at home at least
Umass - bleh... late game garbage filler
Ga Tech - home - watch out knees...


Ultimately, it's not like I see that as some slam dunk, but the hardest games are probably going to be @LSU, and Auburn at home... beyond that, too soon to tell for a lot of them. USC maybe 3rd for now? Either way, getting the trifecta of UT, AU, and GT at home this year is generally good... our OOC schedule for this season is objectively awful and sad... but I guess it's a good year for it?
