All of the SEC teams. They need to play each game like each one is as important as the one before. Every game matters.

I have concern about USCe in Columbia early in the season.

LSU makes my arse itch as well.

Other than that, based on talent alone....we should not drop a game.

Auburn's #1 weapon against us in the regular season game that we lost was Johnson..and he gone. When he was lame in the SECCG, it showed...and we demolished them.

Our D is not gonna be as suspect as many think imho. I think the Dline in particular is going to stifle some teams. Ledbetter and D. Marshall are legit. I also think that Natrez Patrick is gonna have a coming out party at ILB.

The depth and talent at WR and RB, not too mention the Phil Steele #2 O-line in the country...led by either Fromm or Fields...is gonna be hard for alot of the teams we play to simply keep up with. We are going to be as explosive if not more explosive on offense than we were last season. think about the Rose bowl game. Can the teams in our schedule shoot out with us offensively?

We may not play for a Natty this season because I think there are some elite teams that will make it in to the playoffs, but I can see us getting there with another SEC Title and the East title for sure..

USCjr worried me during the CMR years. I don't think it'll be an issue, headed into next Saturday. The talking points will be aflame, nonetheless, but I fully expect a 3 score victory.

LSU will be the first real test, and I'm praying for a 3:30 kickoff for that one, just to strip them of their nighttime DV mojo.

Auburn will be another 3Q game, and then we bust it open at home in the 4th. They're not at JHS, so I'm not worried about them.

If LSU is 5-1 or better going into that game, I think we lose.

If they’re 3-3 or worse, I think we dominate them.

If they’re 4-2 I have no idea.

Well damn, tell us how you really feel about our team. In my opinion LSU and Auburn is much of the same type of threat. Both have a good defense and a high profile transfer QB with no proven running game. The difference is we have Auburn at home. But I'm confident our offense can't be stopped with the QB options we can change up with and the talent on defense. I honestly can't see us loosing a regular season game.

Well as much as I appreciate the confidence you have in my alma mater and original home town team... I on the other hand am pretty confident that although LSU does have talent there is one major factor that should allow all of you to rest easy and will ensure y’all have a lovely visit to Baton Rouge......




I think half of Athens will be at my families tailgate. I even have the guy who owns the BBQ joint in Epps bridge joining...I don’t even know his name.. all are welcome. You won’t be hungry or sober for the game...[

Right now I'll go with LSU. Their defense is absolutely loaded with blue chip athletes, about as loaded as our offense but not as experienced. They'll be battle tested after playing Miami, Auburn, Ole Miss and Florida, and we'll be their first big home game of the year. Depends on how their offense shows up, but playing them in BR will be a big challenge.



Ogre is their coach. He will be fired soon.

South Carolina worries me the most because we get them early while our defense is growing up. If we win that one I think we go undefeated up until Auburn at I would have favored at home by at least a touchdown.

Any game we lose will be a game we shouldn't have. We have more proven and raw talent than any team on our schedule including LSU.

The thing about South Carolina is that I'm just not sure how they hold up on the LOS on either side. They have good offensive skill but could hit 3 long TD passes and still lose soundly.

I don’t think LSU will be 5-1 at that point, but if they are, it probably means Burrow looks good. Plus the crowd will be really into that game and I could see us having a difficult time against a defense that good in that type of environment. It doesn’t mean we can’t go 11-1 with a spot in the SECCG.

I think we beat them if they are 6-0.
