This year was really bad for jimbo... no denying that. If you throw out his best year (natty) and his worst (this year), he is 64-17 (40-12). .79 winning % is pretty dang solid, and I think throwing out worst and best gives an accurate representation of his career so farQuote:

But just think if they can pull it off.Quote:

Have to get on all the 2019 instate D talent and get the ones that can contribute some experience.
2018 we?ll see what Moorhead and staff can do with a loaded roster and 2019 we?ll find out how they handle adversity.

DL shoud have some decent players (Rivers if he stays will probably be the best) but you have a RFr and a true Fr starting at DT.... we can technically name other people like Autry and Jones that should be competent but even then we're still lacking in both depth and star talent... and that's assuming young, unproven guys with little time in the weight room can hold up in SEC play. Hard to ask for in the trenches, and certainly isn't to be expected.
I'm not panicking of course- there's still time for unknowns to come onto the scene or JuCo guys to come into the recruiting picture. But the DL and secondary will be doing well to be mediocre, and solid LB's can only go so far to mitigate that. O should be top 3 in the conference with JoMo, but the D will probably be below average, but not nearly 2016 bad. Unless TN Shoop is the real Shoop, in which case 2018 is 17ed too.
2020 though... now THAT seems near 2018 promising, though it just seems way too early to discuss seriously
Going to need to go heavy JUCO on both lines in 2019, at least 2 OL and 2 DL
Someone needs to be in Mitchel's and Todd's ear for the next 6 months telling them they are beasts and they should play like it.
Just keep saying it until they believe they should catch every ball.
That and teach them how to block and run routes.
Yeah. Of course in the more recent even years, we've had three our 'middling' SEC opponents (Auburn, A&M, and Arkansas) and our non-UK East opponent at home. When we were just giving up our games vs Bama and LSU it helped us when we played them away, and our even year home schedules helped us win another game or two.Quote:
