I think Kiffin is going crazy. I dont know what his end game is with this stuff.

There is no solution to his issue.

Great, SEC teams have more talent. The only thing that would be a solution to his complaints is if the SEC was its own league, which isn't happening.

It does seem pointless. Unless Simmons somehow becomes a Heisman front runner by throwing for an ungodly amount of yards, they are losing way too much to do any better than 9-3 even with that easy ass schedule. Nolen, Prince, Paul, and even that fatass Pegues are not going to be replace with what they are bringing in.

I wouldn't be so sure their schedule is easier. They have to play South Carolina, Florida, UGA, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Arkansas, LSU, and us. That's not an easy schedule by any means. I would say they will be underdogs in 4-5 of those games. I just don't see them going anything better than 4-4 with that conference schedule. They just lose FAR too much. People are severely underestimating how much they lose on D. I mean Nolan, Umanmielen, Ivey, Paul, Pegues, Amos......that's a crap ton of production.

Uh, in the SEC right now, that is an extremely easy schedule.

I agree that schedule is much harder next year than it was this year. LSU, South Carolina, Florida, and Oklahoma. Should all be much improved. We should also be much better but that?s one of those game that could go either way no matter what the talent looks like.

If they go 9-3 next year with Simmons at QB that is a resounding success.

Agreed. Anything over 8 wins will be a success with a first year QB. Especially with what they lose.

Losing Dart is going to hurt a lot too. Having a senior at QB who has been there and done that before is huge in big games.

Well I guess that only really helped them against UGA. They lost every other ?big? game they played.

That was Kiffin's biggest win since he has been there. And Dart is a big reason why we lost the Egg Bowl and why they were able to make a NYD bowl. Without him they're probably in Memphis or Birmingham.
