Upcoming three game stretch

Very interesting stretch coming up with it all being away from home.
vs A&M (Dallas)
@ UGA
@ Ole Miss
What would be considered a success over those three games? 2-1? 1-2? 0-3 (but look really competitive in those tough games)?
IMO, would be hard for me to be upset with a 1-2 result. Would set up a chance to reach 5-2 (2-2) with a win at home against Auburn. If we get that done we have a great chance to win the next two homes games (ARPB/MSST) and reach 7 wins with 3 games still remaining.

To be honest even if we were to lose all three, I can say I feel much better about our program today than I did in the not so distant past. Our team plays hard, they don’t quit, they believe in themselves, the play unselfishly. If we can get a win or two out of this stretch it would be great. But even if we don’t, we seem to be on the right track.

I know some don't want to hear it after the high we have been on but I 100% agree. If we lose all three, we still have four games we can win at home and on a per game basis, I like our chances in all of them.
Before the season, at least 6 wins was the goal this year to me. We are still in good shape even after 0-3 IMO.

I am afraid that lack of depth will rear its ugly head once we begin conference play.
I still believe we get 7 wins at least, which is a homer pick in some ways. But we look good when compared to how others have looked overall this season.
Ole Miss will light everyone up
Bama will get straightened out and win all but probably 1 game.
LSU... Is very winnable, but at LSU as well.
Miss State... We need to win this one.
TAMU, I honestly don't know how to feel... winnable i belive.
Mizou... Just win it, geeze...
Auburn... BH has them playing very well for a 1st year.
GA... Dang tough defense for sure.
If I had to guess, Miss State, Mizzou, TAMU, and LSU are winnable... the others.. I want to believe.

I really can't see 0-3 in this stretch. This team has a lot of positive energy at this point in the season.
1-2 with Auburn coming to the hill would be a positive for me. I absolutely expect to beat AU at home.
UAPB would give us our 6th win.
We just need to stay healthy.

We need to win one of Ole Miss or A&M
1-2 is fine for that stretch

I’d consider 1-2 a success, and 2-1 playing with house money.
1-2 all but guarantees 6-6 and a bowl birth, and puts 7-5 or 8-4 on the table as a possible season record.
2-1 means we got the A&M monkey off our backs and basically puts you at 6 wins with 8 or 9 in the realm of possibility.
0-3 would be a disappointment, frankly, but it wouldn’t mean that we haven’t taken a step forward in year 2. If those games are competitive and we can proceed into the back half of our schedule showing some life and fight, a bowl game is still very much within reach.

If we go 3-1 in our next 4 games we might be a 10 win team

I would take the 2-1 gladly, preferably with the loss being a competitive one to GA.

All I worry about is special teams.
We'll play hard on both sides of the ball. Sure, we'll miss a pass here or there but we're a tough running team with good passing and a very stout defense.

Same.
When talent level is similar, ST is often the difference in the game.
The muffed punt against Texas could have changed the entire complexion of the game, but we were bailed out by the karmic circumstances that usually go against us.
Our kicking game has been solid (knock on wood), but we’ve struggled in almost every other facet. Punting, coverage, return game, and blocking schemes have all left much to be desired.
We’re last in the SEC right now in yards per punt, and 9th in yards per punt return. We’re not doing our defense any favors by continually shortening the field for our opponents via bad punts.

Parodi needs to play somewhere else. He has no idea what he is doing and will let a punt bounce and roll to the 5 yard line.

0-3 is kind of bad (depending on how competitive the games are)
1-2 is pretty good
2-1 is amazing
3-0 and I'll start looking for playoff tickets

Parodi I sure handed that’s why he’s back there. The day he muffs one he’ll be gone but he’s got a knack for getting under it and not dropping it

Auburn is likely the key to the season... regardless what happens in the next 3 games, an Auburn loss will be a kill shot.

If we go 2-2 in our next 4 this team has far exceeded expectations

He had a complete brain fart against Georgia Southern.
Not once but twice he made an attempt to grab a punt that had hit the ground and was bouncing while there were a swarm of GSU coverage personnel around him. No idea what TF he was thinking.

My whole thing is, have we really played anyone up to this point? Texas is way worse than I thought they'd be, specifically on D. I know they destroyed Rice, but they couldn't tackle us. I think we'll know everything we need to know after A&M, whether good or bad.

0-3 while disappointing would kinda be expected. Preseason bowl game goals would still be intact and achievable.
1-2 is a success. Keeps an 8 win season on the table and probably keeps us ranked
2-1 We are playoff contenders. Will have gotten through the meat of the toughest schedule in the nation at 5-1.
3-0 Pass the koolaid we goin to da ship!
I think we beat A&M. I actually think Georgia is much more likely of a win than OM. Coral will murder us deep.
1-2 is what I think will happen with a win over aggie.
