I am for the sitting out a year if transferring rule for many reasons....

1. discipline - if a big headed recruit doesn't get what he wants, he could just transfer - way too damaging to the current discipline issue now.

2. trading - imagine players transferring "mid season" because a star player gets hurt and a team making a run at the NC "needs" a player... may seem extreme now, but if you make transferring easier, it will promote the transferring more and may actually promote some "trading" indirectly - this is college, not the pros

thanks for helping clarify that for me.

Didn't see UK beating Georgia so didn't really take that into consideration.

I have no idea who larry alter is, but I promise I'm not him.... I have this username on several sites, just don't post much here...

I am pulling for Ole Miss because, but only because Bama plays them and not Vandy, so it helps their SOS

I really don't think your secondary is weak. Despite our receivers' lack of ideal size, and at times hands and concentration, they've typically run pretty good routes. They were out to prove something last night and they did against the best D in the country. I would be very surprised if any team on the remainder of your schedule is able to do what LSU did last night solely because a balanced offense is the only way to play a defense like Bama's.

One thing I think most people are realizing is this is the first time this year Bama couldn't stop the run game with it's base defense and had to make adjustments - got Bama out of their usual defense packages and I think the biggest reason they seemed off - maybe because it was the first time they were out of their comfort zone. It had a profound effect on the defense. Also, when blitzing, Bama tends to have the DB's keep everything in front of them, willing to give up the catch, but not the big play. There was a lot of that last night as the blitz was mostly ineffective.

Like others have said, many times the DB's were in position - not all the time, but mostly. They also never gave up the deep ball - i'm not totally convinced part of the game may have been to bend but not break once they realized Mett was having the game of his career....
