Vanderbilt @ Alabama Saturday 3:30 Eastern on ABC

Saying a preseason top-15 USC team isn't a decent team is pretty lazy. Again. Pavia wasn't great, but saying he stunk is a bit much. If Junior Sherrill makes that catch that Pavia put on his face-mask, I think Vandy wins the game.

I don’t care what South Carolina was ranked pre season. lol are they a good team? Yes or not? Clearly not. I’m not saying Pavia is a horrible QB, but he’s not good either. Legit not even a top 50 QB in FBS.
 
My take away is that both teams are pretty good…my brain doesn’t want to accept that Vandy has a good team but they do - we’ll need to be ready to play and will need to get ahead early. Bama is very good but beatable…we can’t let Simpson get comfortable - pressure, pressure, pressure…and we definitely need to run the ball better than we did initially against MSU…of course we have some barbqueing to do this weekend before we even think about Bama

For sure. My takeaway from that game is not that Vanderbilt is good, I still think 6 wins is their ceiling. Alabama just isn’t that good. Simpson can sling it but he’s a lot like Tyler Bray, he’ll throw some horrible picks. Their defense is what surprised me. They took 5-10 yard punches all day long. It looked a lot like our defense really. Just not very crisp. Soft in some areas. Big drop off from Sabans defense.
He’s thrown 1 pick his entire career…
 
Your takes are laughable. Pavia is the main reason why they are 5-1.
Yep. Sadly, he's not the only reason. They're a quality team....can't believe I just typed those words about Vanderbilt. Our game in Knoxville will be very, very iffy. Even at Neyland, I see it as a pick 'em type game. Still think it comes down to injuries. Healthiest team wins. If I were a gambler, I'd put money on Vandy right now.
 
Pavia has never been a good QB. People mistake his “gutsyness” for being good.
Is he an NFL QB? No, but he's a good college QB.

No. They weren’t. Don’t know why you’re so offended and defending the Alabama QB. I absolutely think he’s a good QB. I just don’t think he’s perfect. Yall can stomp your feet all ya want he still won’t be perfect.
 
Watch video. It’s clear as day. If you don’t see it I don’t know what to tell ya. He sometimes blindly throws to the spot without knowing where the receiver actually is. No stat will show that. You have to use your eyes and brain.

No no no. You made the claim. Back it up. If the video is so plentiful it shouldn't take you long to present several examples.

He’s sub par at this level
