Soooooo to recap the season so far

[BlackSailsDawg]

Dude, everybody has at least 2 cub cakes 5 games in. Look at Georgia, Kentucky who are ranked 1 and 3. Their schedule has been worse that Bama's. Come on bro

Cool. This time last year with cup cakes the Bama scoring defense was ranked 5th in the nation.

[confucius say]

Yards arent kept on the scoreboard so scoring is what matters

Fine but we were 5th in the league in scoring points last year. So when we finish at the bottom this year don't start citing yards

[Really Clark?]

Cool. This time last year they had played only 1 ranked team, #25 Texas. This year they have already played the #3 and #16 team who are also the #30 and #6 scoring offenses. Harder schedule this year and still second in the league in scoring defense.

Yep. Sure were. My bad. 8th at 31.6 ppg.

Nope. Ark was ranked 20th last year. 34th ranked scoring offense. Tx was ranked 24th.

You and I both know this is not the same defense we faced last year.




BTW... They also lost to an Air Raid system.

and remember 3 of those per game were defense/ST points...

I only pulled up a site that lists rankings at the end. I'm sure you are right. Which is greater? #3 with the 30th ranked offense and #16 with the 6th ranked offense this year or Ark and Texas last year? You know that it's stronger this year and I 100% disagree that this Bama defense is a lot weaker than last year. I think they are on par with last year. You delude yourself all you want want but so far, and the season will tell the whole story, I may end up being wrong, but so far they are on par as lasts years defense with a harder schedule to start the season this year. You can't dispute that Texas and UM, right now are ranked much higher and have better offenses than Tex and Ark this time last season. It would be a disingenuous argument.

Texas has run the ball 192 times and thrown 155 passes. All of us except KB would be fine that kind of "Air Raid" system

Give me those 5 stars at TX first.
Going to find out by the end of this season if this offense and defense can beat any SEC team at all, compared to the air raid having more upsets in 3 years than any prior coach.
I would love to be wrong and hope so.

.

Are you sure?

All I see for teams that were ranked in the final poll were 2021 Kentucky, 2021 A&M (only finished ranked in 1 poll- not the other) and none in 2022

So 2 ranked wins- with one being 25 in only 1 poll?

I am seriously concerned that vandy will win an SEC game this year before this "staff" we have.

Did Tulsa end up ranked after the bowl game? If so that might be another, but can't remember.

Some count the ranking at the time played, not at the end of the year. I never have but can kind of understand why some do that. Some used to only count Mullen's ranked record for the end of the rankings but flipped with Leach counting at the time played which I thought was being hypocritical.

First of all, I was not referring to TX. Second, Air Raid does not, nor has it ever required to throw 80%, 75%, 70%....etc. That's your misconception.

No Tulsa did not and yes- that's why I posted that. Got to let the hypocrites know that we are aware

[MrCoachKlein]

Passing yards dont count. Especially checkdowns. But running yards per carry in a 40-17 loss do. Got it

Hey, at least Will threw his 1st TD pass against Bama. We just put up the most points vs them since 17 and lost by the smallest margin since 17. Our defense blows. If we had last years defense, this O gave us a shot. CZA at least had them not playing afraid.

Carry on.

[MrCoachKlein]

No dingleberry, but I believe what was told to me a year before coach passed away and during the season when coach was sick. And that was from multiple people, including an offensive coach on the staff at the time.

I'll probably be banned, but I wonder what the school and sec made him do against his will right before?*

Carry on.

Defense held them to 9 the second half. Hell, QB gave AL 17.

[MrCoachKlein]

After Saturday- we'll be averaging more PPG than we did last year. All this buffoonery and BS should at least quiet some until after the UPig performance

It's insane. Our D is obviously the issue. The offense is adjusting after 3 years of nothing but dump off passes. Will has had his most pass ypg and highest QBR vs FBS team so far this year. We're also running the ball well. We had a bad half on O vs AZ and were flat against LSU and still almost matched leaches totals outside of pelini. We also had our best O game in 6 yrs vs Bama and put up 30 in a road sec game

Yeah the turnovers absolutely destroyed us, especially the one before the end of the first half. That was absolute gut punch. I don?t like to play the hypothetical game but takeaway those 17 points and it?s a different game. Smh
