I was going to mention this. State is bad, but they are playing hard...State is playing pretty well right now all things considered.
Already hit Auburn/Mizzou O 51.5.
It's wild. Our YPP numbers are actually really pretty good, it's just that everyone seems to be able to get 3-5 yards when they need it, whether it's 3rd or 4th down. There is some concern in the building with the defensive scheme and the lack of toughness from some of the players. Too many arm tackles, bad technique and going for the strip instead of just getting the ball carrier down. Guess we'll see if any changes are made and if it's not too lateReally Interesting stat on TNR this morning: under Saban from 2014 - 2023, Bama gave up one TD drive of 16+ plays. Thus far in '24 it has given up three of them.
That unit is not good.Any concerns at this point regarding GA secondary? Their pass D seems to be going in the wrong direction allowing 11.3 YPA to Bama, 7.4 to Auburn and 8.3 to Miss St. Phil had them ranked as #3 secondary pre-season. I did not see any of Miss St. game but was surprised that Miss St. was able to move the ball through the air effectively.

Thing is it seems like NFL defenses are promoting strip tackling more now than ever so it's hard to blame college guys for tackling in that way if they want to play at the next level.It's wild.

they're getting paid
they aren't going to hurt/commit themselves
Look at the pros
ceedee gets the contract, can't catch
dak get the contract, can't throw(never could so there's that)
this was football
and the ags have been arm tackling since RC was removedLights out. Supplemented by 'ol Dave on the PxP.
Lost in all the media self felatio on the apparent Alabama downfall is the fact that UGA looks nothing like the team they’ve been for the last 3-4 years eitherAny concerns at this point regarding GA secondary?

I think Texas is very good this year, possibly the best team in the country. But let's not act like they've played some murderer's row to this point
MVB is going to be very good.I was going to mention this. State is bad, but they are playing hard
I like Horns to win this weekend. I think there's a loss somewhere with Vandy, SC, Kentucky or Arkansas, and then there's A&M which is a tossup.
So still sticking to two losses possibly. Obviously hope I'm wrong.

This is a good test this week.
I'd say 2 losses should be a disappointment to be honest.
My initial lean is that Texas can do enough on both sides of the ball to make this really tough on UGA, who hasn't looked great this year outside a couple of second halves against Clemson and Alabama. A slow start against Texas would likely be too much to come back from. But unlike most seasons, UGA has already been exposed to like talent, not only once but twice. I feel like in years past that they struggle the first time they can't just out-talent a team, but the next time they play much better. And we haven't seen UGA in a must-win regular season game in quite a while. I still think I like Texas, but I'm going to let it marinate a whileI like Horns to win this weekend.

Seems like either the Alabama defense or the Tenn offense is primed for a breakout gameBama and Tenn matchup coming at the perfect time lol.
ThisI still think there are some growing pains in store relating to immersion in the new league. The week 8 - 11 grind in this conference is going to be different than that in the Big 12, obviously.
Depth is very, very good on the team so that's going to help.

Beat Ole Piss and the getting 3.5 at Arky???? Crazy hope you are doing well buddyI said a few weeks ago to friends. LSU will beat Ole Miss and lose to Arkansas

SEC has seen some big ML Dog winners past few weeks but looks to me that trend is over.AU +6.5/51.5 @ Mizzou
South Carolina +3/40.5 @ OU
Alabama -2.5/55.5 @ Tennessee
aTm -15/55.5 @ Miss St
LSU +3/54.5 @ Arkansas
Vandy -26.5/58.5 vs Ball State
UGA +3.5/56.5 @ Texas
UK +2/42.5 @ Florida
Pressure on LSU could prove difficult with good pass blocking off line 21/2 sack ratio. Nussmeier good at getting the ball out quickly and game mgt with his reads.Is green healthy? If he playing I like arky, without him not so sure. Been super impressed with some the schemes arky dc coming up with, he better figure out a way to get more pressure this week or lsu qb will pick them apart.
I’ve heard he isn’t exactly 100 percent but yea, big game changer for ArkyIs green healthy? If he playing I like arky, without him not so sure.

Grove would be interested in your thoughts on Aub/Mo over. I see maybe a lower tempo game here, though Aub very TO prone which could help the scoring. Aub does seem to occasionally hit some chunk plays in the passing game and I was surprised their YPA is 9.6 on the season. Mo has been good at limiting opposition plays (58) avg....State is playing pretty well right now all things considered.

AU is kinda weird because they actually move the ball pretty well. They just consistently throw up on themselves with a backbreaking turnover(s). If they ever played a clean game, they are probably a top 20ish team. I kind of think they win straight up this weekend.Grove would be interested in your thoughts on Aub/Mo over.

UGA wasn't the only team that benefitted from playing a mostly SEC East schedule. Now that I say that, they'll beat us in Tuscaloosa next weekend hahaAgree. Not a Mizzou believer at all
Ags tooUGA wasn't the only team that benefitted from playing a mostly SEC East schedule. Now that I say that, they'll beat us in Tuscaloosa next weekend haha
@Timh Basically this. Auburn’s problem isn’t moving the ball, it’s holding on to it. I keep thinking there’s some positive turnover regression coming for them but it’s certainly possible that Thorne just keeps throwing it to the wrong team.AU is kinda weird because they actually move the ball pretty well.

AU is -11 in turnover margin this season, with 15 total TOs. That is so bad. It shouldn't be sustainable, but you never know. I have seen some stats on Hugh Freeze teams and turnovers, so it may be a feature and not a bug of their offense@Timh Basically this. Auburn’s problem isn’t moving the ball, it’s holding on to it.

I think that Freeze will have things schemed up here off the bye and I trust Drink to get Mizzou on track offensively after a horrible showing in their last SEC outing. I think Auburn finally plays a relatively clean game offensively and Mizzou will be forced to keep up. There should be enough pace for both teams to get in to the high 20’s.
