Rivals, nobody but Kirby (I think he is an underrated X & Os guy) Nobody at Ala, Fl, Ky, or Vandy.
This means I think Heupel should beat all of our rivals consistently based on average turnovers for both teams. Home field at Ala with DeBoer is a challenge.
Nationally not many. The SEC probably has the best coaches each school is willing to pay. Some can recruit but can’t game plan, others don’t have the personality to recruit
esp the better talent in the South.
The game is changing, particularly with the DL & OL. I see more transferring into programs, players that are already physically mature ready to start. Certain skill players can actually play out of high school. This and money will cover up certain deficiencies coaches may have and distort their actual abilities.
