Arky looked like what I think most thought Auburn would. Just flip those two, Arky finishes 5th and Auburn last.

I don't see us losing a nonconference game after what I saw today. I was legit worried about the Rutgers game just because of the lasting impression from last year. But we looked pretty damn good today. Rutgers didn't look all that great. If aTm doesn't fix that defense of theirs, week 4 might be a doozy.

I'm guessing LSU fans aren't happy but I've enjoyed watching their o tonight more than I have in years.

I still don't think we're gonna be good but we're at least not going to be a train wreck. Collins is every bit as good as the hype and Allen looks like he could work out.

The Bama game made me worry, especially about the OL, but after seeing so many SEC teams struggle this week, I still feel like Alabama is by far the best team in the SEC. Bama fans should feel blessed that OL appears to be our only major concern. Every other team in the conference except USC has issues on offense and defense, at multiple positions.

By mid season I think they'll have one of the best offenses that they've had in the last decade.

I thought our offense looked really good. Not really any weak spots that I saw today. The passing was great. The running was great. The blocking was great. Tight Ends were great. Our defense has a lot to learn, though.

I agree. I don't think Bama will be as dominant as most "experts" thought, but special teams and defense were outstanding. Defense was not at fault for the field goal and the touchdown was just one busted play.

Collins is legit. Knowing the drama, I give the kid a lot of credit for keeping his shite together and living up to the hype.

Monti what issue does uf have on defense? I saw none today. Offense absolutely but our defense looked as good as last year.

That doesn't make his statement false.

I guess you need to start by looking up the definition for "formidable"...

This was my prediction before the games today. After watching the games, however, I know think we can finish 4th.

I'll take giving up 210 yards to TCU as "struggling" any day.

You can point to the yardage all you want, but giving up 27 points to TCU isn't a good day. They aren't an offensive powerhouse by any stretch.
