Very flat vs FSU. Being down 5 starters (3x OL) by the 2nd half of the game and lots of new personnel wasn't the issue. They were simply emotionless.

The fire and focus since then has been more than encouraging.

They have a 1 game buffer to still make the playoffs and a very tough row to hoe ahead.

Lots of work to do, but it is encouraging. If they keep up the focus with the chip on their shoulder, they have a playoff shot.

That said, take the under on a prop bet for combined rushing yards in the Bama vs LSU game.

Tons of talent. Short bus coaches.

SC:

Atrocious o-line, but coaches found some answers in helping to mitigate that. Defense played with aggression not seen since Week 1. Sellers looked better than he has, and Vandrevious Jacobs is emerging as WR1.

Cautiously optimistic after a traditional Beamer Slow Start.

Need to get offensive line fixed, need to commit to running the ball, need to call better plays, and need Nuss to get healthy once and for all!

Elite defense
Elite special teams



An offense that would make Les miles blush. We are probably going to another Nabisco product bowl because of it.

I'll feel good after Oklahoma goes 5-0.

It's those next 7 that worry the heck out of me.

We have yet to put it all together.

Our defense got worked against ND and our offense got shut down against Auburn in part due to the amount of penalties we incurred. Coincidentally the other sides of the ball got us the wins in both these games.

But even against lesser opponents we had obvious gaps in our game. We're undefeated for now but will need to find a way to put it all together otherwise that won't last long.

Offense sucks.

Defense is good, but teams only need 21 points to beat us.

Hugh’s swing sucks. He must be wearing a simulator out at the house or sneaking in 9 and not posting it on GHIN. Because that horrible vertical shaft in the downswing makes it hard to strike the ball properly unless you have tremendous timing of all the moves required to get the club somewhat in line with the shot. He’s either got a vanity handicap or he’s a big Sandbagger.

He will have the money and the time to make a serious swing change soon.

Worst team in the SEC by a lot. A lot. A whole lot. Fire mark stoops and our entire offensive coaching staff!

Vandy just might be a playoff team. I've never seen a Vandy team this good.

Same as last week. Unfocused resulting in too many penalties.

Auburn fans sound a lot like LSU fans right now. Defense will keep you in every game but offense makes your eyes bleed, horrible schemes to boot.

Pass D is terrible.
Don't know how our oline is going to shake out, but they have been decent overall so far.
Worried about a book getting out on Pribula.
Kickers should never tackle. Just give up a TD.
Everything else is decent.
