Hubbs said he knew for a fact. I guess he could’ve lied

I think he was a legit candidate that wanted the job when Kiffin and DD left but not last year.

Perhaps that is what Hubbs was thinking about

I'm so ready for Saturday. This work week will be the longest in a loooong time.

Well, UT ran the ball 72% of plays called (49 of 68 plays), so were running the ball the majority of the time with or without Byrd being in the game. What would be the tell is is UT ran the same running play 18 of the 19 plays Byrd was in the game.

Well that wasn’t funny

 

[Enki_Amenra]

alright, have a question. what happens if you tie every game you play? you'd have 0 wins/losses. would you be ranked or the worst team?

 

[RikidyBones]

Gruden 0-2

 

[BruinVol]

Gruden 0-2

0-16 would make me very happy

What???

 

[Jimmy Football]

Gruden 0-2

If Gruden goes bust at Oakland, who becomes the new white whale? Peyton?

Random question, is there a active NCAA coach (excluding Saban) that would make you confident that we beat Florida on Saturday even with this roster?

Pruitt

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

Pruitt

So you are confident we beat Florida?

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

Sounds like Byrd will be targeted next we.... Who am I kidding JG can't throw it to anyone but Callaway unless it's designed to someone else

lol why are you are so butthurt about him doing well so far this year? You’re finding new ways to b***h about him every week. Enjoy the games we’ve had so far. OL I’d going to get our QBs murdered sometime over the next 4-5 weeks.

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

Idk about week to week but they are significant improvements all over the field.

JG is playing better than i thought he would’ve at this point.
All our interior DL are playing very well.
We have 3 very promising young DBs.
Kirkland is healthy and doing good things.

I’m enjoying this. Losing Kennedy sucks. I wish he could’ve stayed an anchor at C.

There are a lot of steps forward being made by this team. OL is just so terrible it’s hard to see a lot of them.

No and neither would Saban

JG’s probably been our most consistent player this season. Dude has been very good. If our OL could block better he’d be one of the top QBs in the SEC and maybe the country. He can spin it and doesn’t turn it over. Way better than last year. Proud of him.

OL is bad but I think we have had much worse in recent years. Remember when we averaged 90 yards rushing in 2011? Or when Worley was pretty much murdered in 2014? We aren’t that bad. ...Of course I’m saying this before SEC play. I may have a different opinion in a few weeks...

JG is the best QB in the SEC that nobody is talking about. Personally I’d take him over Borrow, and maybe even Stidham.

 

[Smokey123]

Not really. Maybe Urban and maybe on Saban. I would have to see how they played the first 3 games. I had the game as a toss up going into the season and my opinion hasn’t changed

 

[UTProf]

I would hope so. He's demonstrably better than both.

They’re definitely more physically talented and deep than that 2014 unit. But they’ve been frustratingly bad about making dumb mistakes and whiffing on blocks and we don’t have a QB like Dobbs who can erase sacks this year.

Those ‘16 and ‘17 Olines were about as bad as I can remember. ‘18 OL already looks better to me than they did, although that isn’t saying much.
