Not only are we 5-0, but we haven't really played that well yet. We've played well at times, mostly the 2nd half. But still haven't put an entire game together playing well from start to finish.
The truth is that nobody knows what the outcome will be when A&M/UT match up this coming weekend. That's part of the excitement of college football and the SEC. Many fans are echoing the same sentiments on both sides. They are commenting about whether their injured players will be back and at what percent of their effectiveness. Comments like "We will know what we have after this game" are pretty common.
Jimmy Hyams is living in the past. It's true that all teams used to get sky high for certain games and generally couldn't replicate those emotional peaks in successive weeks. But coaches work hard to avoid those emotional peaks and valleys with their team approach in weekly prep. In contrast to years past, the Florida and Georgia games this year didn't reflect the same pregame feverish emotion as a Florida game in the 90s or an Auburn or Alabama game of the 1980s.
Home field advantage was generally considered an average of 3 points, but it's always been speculative at best. At the end of the day, it's still about which team can make the winning plays playing the best fundamental football and avoiding turnovers that shift momentum.
Look forward to the game. Don't dread it. Have a fun weekend and most of all, Go Big Orange!
