That may be the most insightful post I've seen all day.



Like Grantham, Martinez knows enough defense to keep himself gainfully employed in the cfb's.

3rd and Banks makes me miss 3rd and Chavis…

Simpson throws for 400. Bama wins by 21+.

It's interesting. I don't think I've ever seen an OC praised as much as Grubb for an offense as statistically bad as Alabama's has been two of the past three weeks. If the offense doesn't improve, likely a close game.

Except for an Arkansas fumble at the Tennessee 10 hogs win. So there’s that.

What's kind of wild is Tennessee leads the SEC in sacks, is 2nd in TFLs, and is 2nd in turnovers forced yet second to last in scoring defense. Don't typically see those stats together

Vegas knows something very clearly. So bet for Bama...Vegas is pretty good at making money..so that much money on one side...pretty obvious Vegas knows something.

Just win. That's all that matters in today's game.

So, in past games that wasn't what mattered?

That's the way it has always been.

Net yards per play is still a big factor IMO. Ohio and Oregon were really the only two teams that had dominant ones last year. Dominant would be above 1.5 vs. Power conference teams.

Last year and this year we're about 0.50 which is ungood as no one in the playoff era has ever won it with such a putrid number.

You guys are at 0.01. The only team that's made the playoff with a number like that was that Michigan State team y'all clubbed in 2015. They really had no business being there. Do think with the strength of the conference that we probably can't approach 2.00 in the stat like UGA in 2021-2022, Bama in 2020 or LSU in 2019, but I would think we'd at least need to be above 1.00 to really have a shot.

Vegas trying to even the money is what this is, get more people to bet on Tennessee. I'd have to get like 14.5 to take the Vols

If we win by 1, I will be happy - just win
My concern is that our DC will let UT score 14 on their first two drives before we make ANY adjustments

3rd and Banks



I had a conversation with a former UT defensive coach yesterday about this. Basically it was, "Banks will do things for 3 or 4 plays that works, then will do something crazy that doesn't make any sense."

He also mentioned that our run defense must improve, especially when the safeties come up for support because right now they are taking terrible angles.

UT to this point looks more like the possibility of being a very good team than Georgia or Bama by advanced metrics. I'll admit that outside of Georgia, their schedule hasn't been great, but no one has moved the ball on our D like they did for a full game.

A&M looks pretty strong also in the advanced metrics. Both of these teams have kind of succumbed to the big game pressure in the last few years when they were good. Will be interesting to see what happens this year. Conference is wide open for the taking.
