    We can still win the SEC!!

    We can still win the SEC people.

    Our offense looked pretty decent overall, imo.

    Russell is still learning and our RB's just need to get some consistency. I think more experience will only help us, even in tough losses like this.

    I am not giving up on our defense. I still believe we have a LOT of talent and speed that can play like they did in the 1st half...all game.

    We can and will get better.

    Keep the faith and stay above the player attacks!

    Wow. If you think this team has a shot at the NC, you are quite naive. USC would put up 70 on us.

    yea but then again every other team lost too...I know it's early but I think we were expecting too much. First year coach who doesn't even really do anything on the team. All the distractions. We were expecting way too much. National Champ. no way but SEC Champ obtainable.

    No, I just pointed out how funny it is that people are acting that we are completely out of the SEC race.

    We aren't.

    It is naive to think we have no shot and are already out of the race.

    Totally disagree. We may have the talent, but if the coaches are going to stop coaching and call off the dogs after 30 minutes, we'll be a 6-5 team tops this year. We won't be Florida, Bama, Auburn and maybe not Vanderbilt with that kind of philosophy.

    Our O-line got thier asses kicked in the second half.

    Has a lot to do with calling off the dogs and playing not to lose.

    We would have been better off spotting UT 14 and playing from behind.

    Talent and speed dont matter if the coach is not calling the right Defensive plays and there are to many good teams that wont have loses by the end of the season. All we can do is hope to be in the SEC championship game. Thanks BO

    I disagree. Our offense will go far, but our defense is terrible. Not the players, but the entire philosophy. Line up and hit bastards. Don't sit back in a soft zone hoping not to give up the big play.

    I'd rather give up one big play than 10 five-yard ones.

    It looked like they were in the prevent the whole second half. The dbs were 8 to 10 yards off the ball.
