It sort of makes sense. They returned nearly the same team minus RB as last year. That was no lucky bounce pass win against Georgia or kick six win against Alabama. So something is different.

The RB is the only NFL player we had on offense. Plus we lost 4 starting OL. Those they were not great, they are much better than the bums we have now.

Not really. They lost 4 of the 5 starting OLinemen from the starters in the SECCG. They lost their best pass rusher, their best LB's, and their two best DB's.
Then, of course they lost their top 2 RB's.

They also replaced their OLine coach, so the players are learning new blocking philosophies.

All in all, though, they have lost two hard fought games. True, they did not look particularly good in those games, and have the worst part of their schedule in front of them...but they could still have a very good year, if they can pull together.

I'm not sure why they don't play Asa Martin more.
