This board is crazy. If we are not on a list everyone is mad. If we make a list everyone says we don't deserve it.

Be happy someone thinks we might be decent for a change.

I was at the game also and yes they did run the ball down our throats without Lattimore. Worley threw 2 picks in the endzone

A bit too negative IMO, but valid points

It's great for our secondary to be practicing against the top WR's and a great QB in each practice.

If we clearly had the best team in the country from top to bottom and were an undisputed heavy favor and contender ESPN would have us ranked preseason #1 only out of hate and an attempt to mock us and curse us........

Gotta have DL good enough to stop the run first. Which we didn't. We weren't very good to start with and then we were VERY light as in poundage of people playing the DL for the SEC.

^^This

Secondary was average last year without many take-aways does not equate to being top-10.

Any secondary will be average with a DL like we had. Every football team starts on the DL. We didn't have one.

Obviously this guy didn't watch us against teams with an actual passing game. Does anyone remember Arky?

So they meant to throw all those incompletions? The article says they had 18 attempts.
