I hope this is a troll post.

I would hope from their perspective they're game planning to stop AR. They may be able to limit him compared to what he did last week, but he's still going to get yards on the ground because he's just that crazy. We're not facing UGA's 2021 defense this week.

I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. Austin seems like a fine place.

I enjoyed my time in Austin driving through Texas, but I wouldn't want to live there. Pretty big homeless problem. San Antonio was a lot nicer.

El Paso was actually my favorite city after SA. The food couldn't be beat and it's got a hell of a view.

Bama pining for Sunbelt Billy. I'll take it.

I believe I can win with my dog Clarabelle

Fair enough. Seems like a weird thing to do in any case.

"All of my nightmares came true, just now."

BK putting in that work already.

Frick Dan Mullen for giving UK the right to shite talk us. Lol

Vols will take a 1 point win if they can get it and be happy. This team beat you at home last season.

It can go either way. Although the world is a little brighter when Tennessee fans have hope, so go vols and let's ride this out a little more before the inevitable yearly collapse and melt.

QB: AR is a game changer as we expected him to be. Unbelievable physical ability including crazy arm strength. I think a lot of folks believe he is a one trick pony but his accuracy is actually fine. What he does need to improve on is reading the field. He's got some work to do there but he's young and I expect that to improve with experience.

WR: I expected this to be a weakness and it is. Our best WR is a white boy transfer from the PAC, so there you go. He's good but aside from him we have no one that will consistently get open or make big plays. I wish AR had some better targets that would really help him show off his throwing ability but he doesn't, so this is going to be a run heavy team.

TE: Like WR but even worse. We have no good targets. Our starter is a converted DE. I know Napier is supposed to love to utilize the TE but we just don't have the players right now to do it.

RB: This is a strength of the team. We have 3 really good players. Wright is supposedly the number one guy and he's a fine SEC back who's done well for us over the years, but against Utah, baby ETN and Montrell Johnson (transfer from ULL) looked better than him. ETN is explosive and shifty like his brother, Johnson is powerful and has great vision. Wright is solid at everything. Only negative is that they had a couple fumbles. Can't do that and expect to win.

OL: The oline played very well. I don't think they are an elite unit, but they are solid at both pass and run blocking. They won't be a weakness for this team barring injuries (depth is a concern) which is a breath of fresh air.

DL: This unit is a concern. For the first time that I can remember, the gators applied very little pressure all game. Even when we were trash, we always had a couple guys who could get home at pass rusher. Utah has a good line and I don't think we blitzed a ton, but it's still a problem. The starters are fine, Dexter is very talented as is Cox (though he often loses contain or makes some other bone headed play), the biggest issue is that we have no depth behind them. Dline needs solid rotation in SEC play to keep guys from getting tired, but we just don't have any extra good bodies right now. Utah started to have more success running on us as the game went on for this reason. Keeping the game close against UF will be very important for our opponents because they should be able to take advantage of the lack of depth later in the game and run on us.

LB: Ventrell Miller is a beast, but we don't have much quality otherwise. Especially guarding TEs down the middle. That Utah TE ate us alive all game, he was essentially their only receiving threat and we still couldn't cover him. He's going to be in the league but it's still concerning. Burney saved the game at the end with his INT but he's still a weakness.

DB: They really weren't tested, which I believe is a combination of 1.) They are a solid group and will be a strength for us on defense this year and 2.) It didn't seem like Utah had great receivers. We'll know more about them going against an offense with some weapons on the outside. Marshall is really young but looks to be a lock down type of player already.

ST: Don't really know what we have at kicker. Could be a concern, but we'll know soon enough. Punter seems good. KR needs some work, they consistently brought it out of the endzone when they should have taken a knee. Game change Coordinator (lol) needs to shore that up.

Coaching: I thought the team looked poised and calm under pressure. That was nice to see. Some of the play calls could have been better. Liked that Napier had the confidence that we would make it on 4th down and winded the clock before taking a timeout. That was pretty ballsy and it worked out.


I think we can compete with most teams on our schedule this year except for Georgia on AR and the running game's shoulders. As long as we aren't losing games we shouldn't and keeping things competitive in the others I'll be pleased with the season.
