And that OL is still pretty young and inexperienced. This happens every year on VN. Expectations soar through the roof until we get humbled by a good team. Even though our schedule is favorable this year, I'm still looking at an 8 win season. I want 9-10, which I think is possible, but there are parts of this team that still have a lot to prove (OL and LB specifically).

OL "young and inexperienced"?? Crowder is a senior...Jackson a RS Senior....Kerbyson is a senior...If Kendrick starts at RT he's a sophomore who made 2 starts last year and played in all 13 games....Robertson is a sophomore who started all 13 games last year. You're right about the OL having a lot to prove, but being young and inexperienced will have little to do with it IMO. We have guys who have been in the program 3 or more years who now need to show up and perform.

IMO, the issue could be talent at the correct positions. Robertson seems talented but still young. The other positions have experience, but this year will tell us if they were talented enough to play at this level. I think we all agree that Kerbyson is playing out of position. If they don't perform this year, IMO, it is because we have young, talented players who aren't ready (Jones, Richmond, Hall) or we just didn't recruit great OL (which again falls on Dooley). Just my view of it.

Would y'all take a 9-5 season right now if it meant we made the SECCG and lost both it and the bowl game, or would you take 10-3 if it meant finishing 2nd in the East and winning the bowl?

Would much rather finish the season with a bowl win and a 10-3 record. It would show lots of progress and provide a selling point to recruits. The former situation looks like we were lucky to win the East and finished the season on a two game losing streak.

SIAP Von Pearson, Vic Wharton among players that didn

Innocent till proven guilty? Geesh. I just don't understand how he can continually get punished yet not be charged. No clue about his innocence or guilt, but move forward one way or another.

Anybody have any insight on how Drae Bowles is given a ring, yet Wharton denied? Seems pretty arbitrary to me.

they can always order one for Von later.

Per hyams, King, Bowles and Peterman still got rings because they were graduate transfers leaving on good terms that do not effect the program. The others like Vic and Jenkins did not because they left before meeting their academic requirements forcing us to lose 1 APR point per player that transferred before fulfilling that obligation.

Isn't the FSU QB Deandre Johnson the same kid that was running his mouth during recruiting about how the other QB commits didn't stand a chance versus him? He was ticked off because locksley and Francois committed on same day. now he is about to get dismissed for punching a girl. Fox sports just released the video. Kid is done for

I believe home field only gives you a FG. If your model is correct, Bama would still be favored in Neyland by 2.

You may be right but the way I've been doing it is if the game is at home we get 3.5 points and if the game is away we give up 3.5 points so it's actually a 7 point swing.

Canada's best athletes play hockey, not football. Good sport for getting your teeth knocked out. (Long time Calgary Flames fan here.)
