Bammer and LSU at home with 4 road games...losing half of our top 12 tacklers...We aren't winning 9 games

Who has a backup qb that has reps? Nobody unless the starter has been hurt. Altmeyer hasn't played 10 snaps since the first 3 games. And they were "equal". Thought today would have fixed the whole backup qb crap. In 2024 or 2025, we will trot a Qb out there to start not named Will Rogers. Unless he gets hurt prior.

Yep. This was the year. In fairness, if we beat Ole Miss, we finish 3rd in the West.

We should have gotten somebody reps today.

We did. He was 2-6 for 5 yards and an interception. He did look good handing the ball off though.

Depends on what we add in the portal. Duncan is a box safety which is basically phased out almost and
Bookie is slow. If we can add 3-4 more pass rushers who are more athletic than what we have now along with a safety or two that could change our team significantly.

THIS.
Actually I think the real battle in the spring is going to be between Sawyer and Locke. May the best man win!

Bookie leads the SEC in tackles btw.

Bookie is leading tackler in the SEC so he must not be too slow. That will be a loss, not sure why everyone keeps downplaying Watson.

OM built a 9 or 10 win team with the Portal, and we want to act like we can't replace some mediocre safeties and solid LBs? Yeah we will downgrade Watson and Wheat, but it's also possible to get a good DE and upgrade the DL pass rush and that would help the LBs indirectly. Or we could get a stud NFL LB off a G5 team that flew under the radar due to a knee injury. Who knows.
The Portal changes everything, you can't even begin to talk about the holes we have next year till the dust settles.
Personally, I think the biggest concern is Will Rogers brain- if he keeps shutting down under pressure, we will not be good. If he decides he's not afraid of hits and starts seeing the field better vs blitzes, the offense will be much better. Just that alone is a bigger variable than any portal guy or returning LB

Never started or made any real contribution:
- Harris
- Lawrence
- Buys
- Shaw
- Scoobie
Don't have an extra year of eligibility even if they wanted it:
- J. Green
- Wheat
- Ducking
- Charlton
- Kicker - they have names (Raybon, Biscardi)
- Punter - he has a name (Georgopoulos)
- Timbs
I get Forbes being gone obviously, but seems like we should be able to make crumedy and Davis at least have a hard decision. And don?t understand Watson giving up a year of football at all. Have the rest of your life to have a job. We can?t get him enough money to enjoy one more year of football?

We havent done all that well on impact guys from the portal. What leads you to believe we gonna start now?
We are losing some serious defensive talent and what is replacing it isnt all that impressive. We absolutely need some portal guys on D

I'm aware. However, Jett is more athletic and moving on from one of two allows us to potentially get more athletic on the EDGE which will allow us to hopefully generate more havoc.

Jackie Matthews and Jalen Green are solid players we added from the portal. Biscardi has been much better than what we had at kicker last year.
As usual it takes us time to figure out how to do things- like use the portal. We weren't that active last year because we returned a ton of players. We got more guys that were multi year players like Justin Robinson and Steven Lasoya than one and done guys.
