Would love to get Maurer or Shrout going. It could be the difference.After watching the SEC today, UT can beat Mississippi State, South Carolina, Kentucky, and Vanderbilt.
Not saying they will, but this team can beat those teams and only one of those is a road game.
This year the top half of the conference is really, really good.
The bottom half of the conference is hot garbage and teams 7-14 could all beat one another on just about any given Saturday.
Seems like every team in the country is running it and most don’t have good enough QBs to be successful.Just curious how many top programs right now aren't spread, strong rpo, with some qb running?
I count only 1.
And running out of spread is a thing of beauty. OU is perfecting it like Art Briles began to do at Baylor.
We will see how well this ages. There is evidence that he is a good coach but he also has not been a head coach at this level. I tend to agree but he has been pretty mediocre at Nebraska to this point.Yep, in fact, I’d say one of Tennessee’s main problems is that we don’t have our Scott Frost.
It would have been nice to hand this thing off to our young hotshot alumnus at some point over the last decade.
Frost is going to get it done - and he has the blank check to take as long as it needs.
Agreed.Would love to get Maurer or Shrout going. It could be the difference.

Eh. You know what you have have with JG in this offense. None of us really know about the other 2. Give me them a chance to take full starter reps and see if you feel any different.
While currently true, only Bama has stayed there for a long time. Clemson is pretty new, OU is cycling back up from peak Stoop days the past 4 or 5 years, OSU has consistently been on that edge, but far from unbeatable lol. Uga only got there since Smart.Yep. The first 4 have planted themselves as givens every year. UGA is probably there now too. Most these teams don’t even have to win the conference, and one loss doesn’t exclude them like most other teams.
The most interesting thing every year at this point is which Washington, ND, AU, or LSU will make it in to lose in the semi’s.

Point being this is still a lot different than UF mid-late 2000s, peak LSU, and Miami, then Nebraska before.
We are just caught up in the current cycle because Bama's run is unprecedented and Clemson nailed 3 straight QBs. Without the anomaly of Saban, there would be much more parity. Handful of other sec teams would have more upward mobility. A matter of time...
The 25 signing limit has also helped these up cycles last longer. Bama could flip a lot faster when they hired Saban, Smart walked into a good roster, OSU was never really down from a personnel standpoint. It took Clemson longer to do it but they had to hit on 3 QBs as you said, plus they were able to get some really good trench guys.
We are in a era of seeing the cycles happen, but the are happening longer. Saban has an absolute stranglehold on the SEC.
