JJ is going to get worked hard...Hope he responds rather than fold under the training hes going to need. Kinda seems like the entire culture is so bad right now outside a few guys.

I'd guess maybe its because there are only 10 seniors this year so 15 more have to go for a full class of 25 to come in.

Like what was just posted, I agree it would be nice if it was like it used to be. Run off about 20 guys and take 40 this cycle lol

Curious about the last sentence as to why we need to trim the roster. Isnt their a limit to how many we can take regardless of who leaves?

We only lose 10 SRs and don't have but a few guys who could declare early. We're taking a full class in 2019, so the attrition will need to be higher to keep the # of scholarship players at 85.

Edit: VFLBerg'd, but that's it

Y'all, we are 0-1. So are half of the teams in the country. After Saturday, UT will be 1-1. After the next Saturday, UT will be 2-1.

We don't know what will happen after that. It's possible our team can get better. It's even possible we can beat someone we are not expected to beat.

Why believe the media reports that say every player on our team sucks and in the same breath say you will never believe the media again when they tell us how good the players look in camp?

It's been ONE game.

Any scholars out there? Who is no. 8 in the RB drills in Hubbs video? I thought I saw a report that Chandler was working with the trainer on the sidelines and held out of drills.

And ONE game that wasn't all bad

Good grief do people realize we were 38 yards from taking the lead going into half?

So I've been avoiding this place (and every other cfb-related outlet) since the game.

I see where *Trey Coleman is out and JJ Peterson is out of shape.

I haven't re-watched the game yet, but will eventually make my way to do so.

What all am I missing? Am I the only one thinking we can shore some things up over the next two weeks and still maybe get to a bowl this year?

Jordan isn’t out. Chandler got dinged up but should be fine. London got his bell rung, too, but will be fine.

I didn't see the vid, but if it's not Chandler, maybe they're looking at Latrell Williams as a slot back?

I'm still not as down on this team as most. We played better than the score indicated and were only down 6 points at halftime. I'm still at about 7 wins.

I think the anticipation got to me.. I got really optimistic over the course of the off-season.

I'm not sold on another 4-8 or 5-7 season just yet, though.. If this staff holds any weight, we should still see some improvement down the stretch. I'll be interested to see if we can cobble some confidence together and revisit our progress after Florida.

Really sucks seeing everyone else beat the piss out of FCS opponents in their openers and we get clobbered like an FCS opponent. Hopefully this put a lot on tape for our guys to fix.

You can’t tell the difference between our leading rusher who is leading the nation in broken tackles and a guy who has never seen a snap?

Let me rewrite that last sentence for you, directly from the reply you quoted:

Pretty obvious mistake based on this weekend.

Let's not get sour so early in the week, okay?

It was a 13 point two possession game with like 17 minutes to go. The garbage td at the end and us missing our td on 4th down is making people thing we got waxed from start to finish. Work to be done for sure but we can beat UF

It'll make my year if they can beat Florida. Think I'd almost rather miss a bowl and beat Florida, than make one and lose to Florida.

Finally something we agree on.
