. . . resulting in an illustrious season ending record of 4-8 . . . Beamer is really turning this program around.
yeah well . . .^^^^^^
Thanks for the great insight, it's a shame no one else has mentioned this earlier
Sorry, I don't see that happening.
1) Our D is entirely too good for that to happen (Assuming we stop jumping offsides and assuming we stop with the childish penalties)
2) Our D will keep us in most of those games as a result (Hey, I'm as surprised as the rest of you with our D's fire and pretty good tackling)
3) Opposing teams, no matter how good, have "off" days too
4) "Any given Saturday" - See Vandy / Bama
5) Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while....... our Offense will eventually find its way into the endzone a few times.
So, ala my username, I see 2 more wins in there somewhere for sure + 1 complete surprise to everyone game.....possibly Bama. The thinking is Bama will be pissed and slaughter us.... I get it... I also understand Saban ain't their coach anymore and there's already grumblings about Bama's new coach down there. Talk of him not having "control" of the team like Saban did, etc.... they could just as easily fall completely apart against us.
Do I believe that will happen? No. Do I believe the Vandy loss was the "calm before the storm" down there? Very possibly. Sure. Point being, we're going to get a surprise win in there somewhere. We always do. Usually when we least expect it, ala 2 yrs ago and the absolute thumping we put on UcheaT and ran out of fireworks. It's what this team historically does. I think we get to 6 wins but I don't think it will be pretty. Defense wins a lot of games and ours is pretty darn good - if we knock off the penalties.
Yep.Rocket is an excellent running back if he gets some blocking and our receivers have demonstrated YAC abilities if the OL gives our QB time to throw instead of running for his life.
Both of these seem to hinge on DECENT OL play.
Nope.Yep.
As usual, it's a bunch of "ifs" for us.
Nope.
Sellers has time, he won't pull the trigger. We have yet to call 1 "streak" play for Harbor and told Sellers to "throw it deep to him no matter what." He doesn't have much time, granted, but he does have time. Sometimes you have force the D to back up. Throwing deep no matter what accomplishes that. We won't do it with one of the fastest WR's in the country. Weird.
RE: Rocket --- We often use him as a decoy when we need 3rds for a first down. We'd rather run Sellers left, right, and up the middle apparently. I cannot be the only one to see this.
Are you saying the OL is performing at a DECENT level? I think not.Nope.

Disagree. We will get thrashed this weekend. Bama will cover in the 1st half. Team will fold and punt the rest of the season. No leadership.Sorry, I don't see that happening.

No offense intended, but sorry Dude, I just don't see itI disagree. It's never as good as some think, it's also never as bad.
We have a 4th win in wofford. We can beat Vandy if we play well.
I still say we win 5, and there's a chance we get a team that melts down one day on top of that.
