Coach, how do you see the rest season play out.....Dogs beat a HOG team with a mile of penalties, SC looks like crap tonight but playing om close, Fla played Ga tough, ......what does your crystal ball say?

SC beats Ole Miss tonight, we win the Egg Bowl and knock them out of the playoffs entirely. Lane is in Gainesville before December.

Bonus? We saw that KT can make a throw with nobody in his face. We saw he can make a long run to expose defenses. We also saw his true freshman side and it will be erratic at times. Yes
But I will say this- for Lebby to go back to Shapen with our OL struggling really bad and KT alleviating some of that? You better win the ****ing football game. Fortunately he did. It would be a shit show right now had he not. But what this also does is give you a few more options down the line and especially for the Egg Bowl when you get 2 weeks to get ready Yes
Huge day for us and the program. YES!

We arent good enough upfront especially on the OL to beat Georgia
Mizzou will be tough to beat on the road even with losing their QB. We have a chance for sure but it would take a great game.
Egg Bowl is really interesting. We have time to gameplan and really prepare. But so do they. The main thing for us is being healthy upfront. That matters as much as anything.
I'll be at the Egg and I'm looking forward to it now

That is part of their program, they have staff that only spends time scouting and finding players. It?s all about $$$ spending in the proper places.

and this is where I've tried to explain to people is where our lack of money hurts us. We lack staff compared to the rest of the SEC

What do you think of Fla at the ditch? And Didn’t Gonzales coach a game or two at State at some time? Also I guess Ok got some of their O line back and their QB is not playing like he did against om as they are leading Tn.

I would have to assume that a small staff looking for good value players would pay for itself.
Here are ESPN's estimates for what every starter costs. Find just a few guys who are just as good but cost 10 - 20% less and they've justified their salaries.

Yep. Just shows how weak our depth is when only losing 2 makes us look so bad

But hiring guys to watch film and network with coaches takes alot of time and money. We have to have that quality staff being paid a solid wage

True but when it's supposed to be your two starting tackles. That hurts anyone.

Om Lacy just scored long run for td and did the throat slash......thought that wasn’t allowed.
