NOTICE BEFORE THE OPENER: No matter what happens barring a loss, the sky is NOT falling

We have more talent than anyone, but we have question marks on this team in terms of experience. If a unit or part of the team's game looks weak, don't come here and panic like lunatics or LSU fans. It's okay for the team to need time to develop, we have an easy schedule to get them ready for November and beyond.

Louisville has good receivers and Pass has a lot of pure talent, plus Petrino is one of the best offensive minds in the nation. Our secondary is inexperienced. If they struggle, try to control yourselves. There's no reason to shout to the heavens about how we're fricked or we'll never win another title or whatever it is you feel the urge to complain about. It's most of our secondaries first FBS start against a team that could have a very good offense.

If the OL struggles to protect the QB, remember this, in 2012 Western Kentucky sacked us 6 times. That 2012 OL was one of the best in recent college football. shite. Happens. Sometimes an OL needs a few games to really get into a groove and play with consistency.

If a player, especially a Linebacker, gets hurt then yes there is cause for concern, but don't hit the panic button immediately. We've got Arkansas State the next week and Louisiana a couple of weeks after that. Good tune ups for a newcomer to get some experience in. Again, the meat of our schedule is November. Sure, be concerned, but you don't have to write this team off until they lose.

And finally, all signs point to Tua starting AND playing a majority of the snaps. However, IF Jalen starts and the split is more even than you would personally like, do not worry. Tua will in all likelihood be the full time starter sooner than later, and it ultimately doesn't matter if he doesn't take every single snap against a bunch of teams we'll likely blow out anyway. Yes, I'd love for him to maximize his snaps so as to have more experience for the games down the stretch, but a few snaps won't make a difference. And look at it this way, a few less snaps means a few less chances he gets hurt.


I know this will likely fall on deaf ears and we'll have fifty million threads about how you're not pleased with this or that, but maybe this season just try not to overreact to one game. Sound good? Thanks, Roll Tide.
