Exactly. When a team has quality depth at every position like Alabama or Georgia, there is some truth in it but we aren't even remotely close to being in that position.The “next man up” trope has to be one of the dumbest statements in sports, especially with us.
We are at the point where we might have to have open tryouts and I’m not even half kidding.
And that says everything you need to know about why depth is essential to a winning program. I’ll add Cade Mays to your list as well. We are painfully short of first line players now as well as SEC caliber subs and anyone who thinks otherwise doesn’t watch much football.If Hooker and Evans can play I give us a chance against anyone in the country. If they can’t then we have no chance.
Always a chance on any given Saturday.....BUT HIGHLY UNLIKELY. I'm most concerned about the condition of Hooker at this point. Alabama is secondary when you start thinking of having Milton at QB the rest of the season.
