Yeah but we haven't won at Bama is just as long as FL. We have two curses that desperately need breaking.

I'm not a believer in Ty Simpson and Lagway could be hurt.

Gunner Stockton though? He looks average af and I do not get why people are so high on him. Worst QB they have had in a while and we are his first road start.

Hot take: Ty Simpson outplays DJ Lagway this year. I might the only non-believer in Lagway. Talented but TO machine last year.









Watch Lagway be awesome now lol.

This is a big deal, guys. Rather than a WaHu knife fight, two people actually heard each other and resolved a disagreement in a normal, adult way for the first time in the history of the internet. I think we all deserve a medal or something just for bearing witness to this achievement.

I am not buying this new "we don't have WRs" debate either.

Travis Smith Jr. - 18th rated WR in 2025 class
Radarious Jackson - 30th rated WR in 2025 class
Amari Jefferson - 33rd rated WR in 2024 class
Mike Matthews - 9th rated WR in 2024 class
Braylon Staley - 15th rated WR in 2024 class
Chris Brazzell - 18th rated transfer WR in 2024 class

OL gives protection and you get a QB that knows wtf they're doing and you'll have WRs looking like studs.

Bru McCoy with Hooker throwing = stud
White looked like he was destined to be a beast with Hooker and even had a good year with Joe
Ramel Keyton as well

Nico was more of the problem than staff wanted to admit, even now with him gone they won't make those excuses or place blame. Just not how Heupel operates...but you don't handle the offseason the way we did IF he's a legit 1st round QB talent.

Talent isnt the issue, the depth is, as is the lack of production returning. Matthews and Stayley have a combined 9 career catches. Not to mention stayley and brazzell missed most of fall camp-and matthews missed a bit too. So they’ve already proven they cant stay healthy, and as it is we are going to be relying on guys who have never played a single snap in college (jefferson, jackson, smith)

Also believe people are overlooking Gunner Stockton of Georgia. Played in a CFP game vs Notre Dame and played reasonably well for his first start.

Looking at the schedule again...I could really see us winning every game.

Most worried about at Florida, because it's the swamp and we've really not won there in ages...but it's now a November game so that big advantage of heat/humidity that it being a September game gave is out the door.

Georgia at home for game 3 after they've ran through 2 cupcakes...yeah I like it. Give them the first reality check of the year.

And at Bama without Saban and with Ty Simpson or whoever they have at QB by then isn't a worry either.

OU shouldn't even be ranked...we're game 4 of a gauntlet before they get their bye and it's here...I like our chances there too.

I was talking to a Nega buddy of mine and he thinks we go 7-5. I said I don't see one game that we won't win if we play average on offense. This defense is going to be ulta nasty. The SEC big dogs of recent times have definitely come back to the pack.

I Think Lagway will be good, but I'm not crowning him yet. Didn't see enough to gush like a lot of ppl do.

I just remember how dreadful Simpson was against USF.

I can see we’ve reached peak pre-season froth.

Have you considered the coaching staff treated them gingerly instead of assuming they can’t stay healthy? Or is that impossible for you to consider?

And you call me toxic lol

I am with you except OU. They will be very good. Luckily we get them at home and they do have a gauntlet before playing us. I like our chances against anyone at home any time.

We must have watched different games. If he hadn’t have played and they ran the ball, they would have won. His turnovers killed them. And a lot of yards came at the end when they let him get yards cause it was over. They let him have short throws. Numerous sacks, fumble, and INT for pick six.
