Defensive line looks good. Linebackers have some talent but lack experience and communication. Secondary is a mixed bag.

Offensive line, surprisingly not putrid considering we gave up like 4 to 5 sacks per game last year. Run blocking is an issue.

Running backs impatient not waiting for holes. Causing penalties when they bounce it outside.

WR mostly good.

The offense has potential. The defense could be average.

No idea wtf this means in this years SEC.

Mostly meh.

LSU is still rebuilding. We got destroyed by FSU, but I think we still are a good team. The CB's were worse than even the most cautioned fan thought.

Like last year, I think they will improve each week and still win 9-10 games.

The West is wide open with LSU, Bama and Ole Miss probably having the best shots at it right now. State, Aggie, Arkansas and Auburn are darkhorse candidates.

Hopefully we get a better idea and better performance against BYU and their 30 year olds this weekend.

Texas

B- for our offense, gotta clean up our running game, and Worthy can't be missing those simple catches, same goes for our RB Brooks. Those are simple catches they miss its infuriating.

B+ for our defense Jerrin Thompsom cannot get burned twice like that, even if its against a very talented WR, the pressure from our DL was good.

Finally playing to his 5* status, I honestly thought he was the next Mahomes coming out of HS. He stay may be who knows.

Sooners are really improved on defense they are very hard to run on . Our pash rush is lacking imo and more of a strong defensive line bull rushers .
Offensively it was a big set back vs SMU awe literally ran straight into SMU strength their 8 deep dline and had no passes over 20 yards all game . It was so lackluster Gabriel only had 89 yards passing at end of 3rd quarter….( finished with 4 passing tds) Because we was running straight up the middle every play? Lebby said he was too conservative but it damn near costed us we pulled away late when he opened it up … starting to make me question how good he really is . His decision making is very questionable like going hurry up with 7 minutes to go with a 10 point lead . I think we will open it up more vs Cincy and Texas but probably won’t see much be Tulsa . Think we are good enough to win almost every game on schedule obviously we are behind Texas right now but I am not conceding game yet but it will take us getting better to win .

State’s defense is about what it usually is. Should be fine in most games but certain teams will exploit it.

Offensively the jury is definitely still out after a bizarre showing against Arizona. I am going to need Barbay to prove that he’s not a dang idiot because I have no idea what he was trying to do in the second half of that game.

"I think we are an 8-4 team!"

If you continue to trot Milroe out there, that may be true.

Before the season started I felt like our offense, especially the running game, was going to be our strength and that the season would be determined on if the defense improved.

After 2 games we can’t run the ball and the defense is looking stronger than the offense. I’m so confused…..

That's Ole Miss exactly!! The run game suppose to be our strength but so far our OL can't make a hole big enough for a mouse to run through. Our defense has vastly improved from last year.

Honest assessment is Drinkwitz is one of the worst if not the worst game day coach I've ever followed. He is a podium warrior, but clueless on game day. There is enough talent on the team to win 8 games this year, but as you'll see this Saturday vs. K-State, we will look inept and flaccid. KSU -5.5 is the easiest money you will ever make.

Mizzou needs to cut ties and find another Dennis Gates.

Kentucky under Stoops. I hate these games. I took EKU and the points. Because ... Stoops.
