Y’all have all been around here long enough to know the media around here aren’t asking any tough questions.
Vandy but I guess that doesn’t count as a true road game. He was meh in that game but weather was a factor.
Heupel brought this up on the coaching show, and I had forgotten this. Last year Bama played AP and struggled too. It was 17-0 well into the 3rd quarter
People are upset only because it makes us think we might not beat Florida (and/or other SEC opponents). On its own, it means nothing.
In all seriousness and in this particular season, it probably helps that we have had some struggles going into the Swamp. Because otherwise there may be TOO much confidence.
If it clicks, we very well could. If we keep misfiring on third downs, we could get run out of the building, even with their struggles. Range of outcomes is as wide as it’s been in a while.
Torn between “Milton needs to see it work a few times with live bullets flying” and “we can’t walk in there expecting a cakewalk.”
After the South Carolina game last year, I’m not going to discount the possibility of the defense totally laying an egg, especially with Pili out.
He was replacing a big part of last year’s defense…who happened to miss that South Carolina game. I don’t think it’s especially likely that we have that same kind of breakdown again—that seemed very much like an “everything that can go wrong will go wrong” game. But we’ve still got some holes. I don’t think Florida is well-positioned to take advantage, but it wouldn’t be the first time a mediocre offense played out of their minds against us.
