So when anaylizing this schedule, it is apparent to me that ours is very managable.
One thing I always look at with schedules is how the open dates work out, and I love where ours is this season. It is right in the middle(where it should be) before a very physical road game at Bama. We should be able to get through UCLA, @FL, AUB and GA without being to physically exaughsted at that point.
Now compare that with some other teams we play.
Bama - they have their open date right after our game, they play us coming off a streak of playing Ark, @ KY, @Ole miss, and SC...not the most challenging but 4 straight SEC games will take a toll on anyteam.
Ole Miss plays us right before their game with LSU which could be deciding the SEC West and they will be coming off 8 straight games.
GA has OKst, SC, @Ark, ARZ St., LSU leading up to our game which is an absolute brutal run.
So anyway if you look at this compared to last years schedule where FL, GA, SC, and KY and BAMA had bye weeks before our games you can look at it as a blessing in disguise!!!
