Just wanted to take a few minutes to possibly make everyone feel a little better about where we are after week 1.
Week 1 Scores
Tennessee 59 Ball State 10
Kentucky 37 Miami(OH) 13
Florida 29 Utah 26
Ole Miss 28 Troy 10
Arkansas 31 Cincy 24
Georgia 49 Oregon 3
Texas A&M 31 Sam Houston 0
Auburn Currently up 35-7 over Mercer
Vanderbilt currently up 42-31 over Elon
Mississippi St currently up 21-3 over Memphis
Alabama currently up 55-0 over Utah St
South Carolina currently up 35-14 over Georgia St


Outlook:
I want to focus mainly on Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Kentucky, SC, Auburn and us. Looking specifically at scores (I know you can’t compare scores so bear with me), we saw a lot of “struggles” in the first full day of College Football. I think we can all agree that Texas A&M should have won way more handily than what they did being the number 6 team in the country. All the Kentucky hype seemed to be in jeopardy until after the half. I think the SC/Spencer Rattler expectations reveals that SC isn’t going to be the upset team everyone thought they were going to be. Ole Miss, who typically lights up the scoreboard only managed to muster up 28 points on Troy. Auburn is winning soundly but you would expect more from an SEC team playing a Southern Conference team. I say all that to say this. Quite a few teams have their concerns after this Week. It should make us feel better that Ball State was never in the game. Regardless of us having a sack or not. Regardless of our soft coverage or not. They never stood a chance. Now, while I believe we need to address the DB issues, I think all of us are going to be pleasantly surprised with our defense this time next week. Secondly, I’d like to point out that Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Arkansas all look good. Georgia and Alabama obviously looking elite while Arkansas continues to get better under Pittman and Florida coming out looking a little better than we expected. Don’t fret it. We have a Good team and we are on the right track with the right coach. We are gonna surprise some people this year. Just think, Utah was ranked 7th in the country. Florida beat them but not without some concerning stats. They gave up 230 rushing yards and 216 Passing Yards. 230 yards on the ground is a pretty good chunk. Florida managed to have 283 on the ground and while Utah gave up a good fight, they missed a ton of tackles and looked like a typical Pac12 defense. Pittsburgh gave up 190 rushing yards to a sub par West Virginia team while only rushing for 76, once again, against a sub par WVU defense. We go out there and play SEC football and execute, we might just win some dang ball games. It’s looking up folks.

They always say the biggest improvement comes between the first and second game. I think we handle Pitt fairly easy next week. WVU had no business loosing to them Thursday. Pitt won't be able to keep up in the second half.

Absolutely. Another little thing about Florida-Utah, Utah could not read the QB. Not saying we will be better but it’s be hard to be any worse.

Yup and Utah had an oppertunity to win this game. A few actually. Ricardson is good but imo Florida just doesn't have enough to keep up with us for 4 quarters. Utah ran well on them and that WR as feasting on those Gator DBs. If Utah had a legit number 2 they win. We have 3 legit weapons at WR.

When dude threw the interception in the red zone, I literally felt my BVS flare up for them. I literally wondered if Guarantano played for Utah. I feel like we all knew how they felt in that moment.

Gotta make plays and make the most of the breaks when they go your way. Literally every game is winnable with solid execution and taking care of the football. I thoroughly believe our coaches will have our guys prepared. I have yet to see us come out flat and unprepared.

That's why so excited. We won't be outcoached anymore.

Wouldn’t make assumptions. Burrell also played with 2nd string.

With one game under our belts, all any of are doing is making assumptions. You’re entire lengthy OP is chock full of them. It was still enjoyable to read.

I understand that. But they weren’t assumptions based off of last years success or the lack thereof.
