We did really well against them in the 12 years between Dooley and Richt, going 9-1 in that span. We beat them more times in a row (9) than anyone ever has. At all other times we are 14-23 against them though, with the natural recruiting advantage they have we'll be doing good if we can maintain this as an essentially .500 series from here on out.
Disagree, I think their D next year takes a step back but the O will be much better, check thier depth chart. They lose the majority of D and nearly all the starters if a few juniors declare early:
J.R. Reed and Tyler Clark are the only people of real note they are losing on defense, other than those two, most of the rest of those names are familiar from recruiting and they've got higher upside and are playing a ton. Kirby makes some bonehead calls, but the guys proven he can build defenses without Saban. They'll be better. We really need to keep our fingers crossed that he's bullheaded enough to keep that James Coley calling plays. That guy's so bad he's like a NASCAR restrictor plate for an offense. We dealt them a serious blow, even though most of them were too dumb to realize it when we got Chaney.
That was an atrociously officiated game, if that was Tennessee and those were the stakes I'd go to my grave with bitterness over that one. It was straight theft. The only game I ever saw that was worse was one time Oklahoma got hosed real bad by Oregon, it was about 15 years ago, but that was a regular season game.
