good news, bad news

It wasn't an attack, I was just making a point.......Rogan didn't have the best spring and who knows if Vinson will EVER be the playmaker that I know he is.

Good news is our D should hopefully be as good as it was last year (assuming that the Morley loss doesn't become a major thing and that kiffin doesn't cut any more starters)

Bad news is that our Offense is a shell of what it was 2 years ago, we have someone w/ possibly the worst college play I've ever seen penciled in at starter, and there's no real signs of improvement or maybe even coming around right now...

7-5 at worst
8-4 at best

We will win the games we're supposed to win. I personally do not think that we will upset anyone this year with our QB situation and our lack of depth on the O and D lines. You can pencil in losses to Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, and a possilbe loss to either Auburn or South Carolina. I'm also deeply concerned over our kicking game. I fear that one or two of our losses will be as a result of this.

For me, I'm not even going to be looking so much at wins and losses this year as I am in us being competitive and a real change of attitude on the field. If our guys fight to the bitter end, no matter what the score is, I'll be happy because it will show me that the culture of our program has truly been changed.

Kiffin didn't cut ANY players. They couldn't obide by the rules set forth and were released or left voluntarily. Morley was the only starter, but lost his job in the spring because of being late to the FIRST team meeting of the Spring and missing practices. Under Fulmer STARTER, under Kifffin BENCH WARMER.

Most would have thought Bama wouldn't have a chance in hell to do what they did last year. I'm really expecting a major turn around this year

2 losses tops, SECCG win or lose

Alabama had a dominating OL.

Tennessee does not.

That makes a huge difference.

Bama had a QB that was smart with the football.

Tennessee does not.

That makes an even bigger difference.

Win the games you are suppose to win...steal one from Auburn or Georgia and this will be a very successful season. In turn expect a few Ws in the recruiting column.

I think there is some talent on this OL. There is little doubt that their hands were completely tied by the scheme last year, but it is a pipedream to think they will blow people off of the ball. We need a few first downs a series, we need to get the ball to the playmakers in space, and hope that BB is as good as advertised.

If we can find a way to put 17 points a game up on offense and 7 from the D this team should be good for 8 wins.

^This. I could win a few games with 2 of the top 10 linemen in the country, including the best LT. Not even mentioning that the other 4 or 5 linemen they have who get PT are all solid.

I dont see why peolple are selling us so short this year. I dont think we will loose a home game. Im not saying we will destroy people but USc is still USc, Ga lost alot, Auburn is in the crapper, and no way ucla beats us at home. Yeah bama is on the road but there O is not going to be pounding on the ground like last year. and Ole miss is still ole miss. a very good team on paper but they will not sneek up on anyone this year. Outside of Fla there is no team we play where we can say "well we have -10% chance in this game" yeah we have problems but so do alot of other teams we play. Not saying we will go 10-1 but i can see 8 wins no prob and 9 is very easy to reach. Ofcourse we will need some breaks and things like that. Out D will keep us in every game. but thats jsut me.
