Our D is light years better no doubt. Our key game will be the Barn. They will give us a better look and the we will need before we face the Bulldogs
What we have here is basically Houston moving to the SEC. Fun up and down the field on offense, no discipline, coaching or investment on the defensive side of the ball. When Manziel is gone (after this season), A&M will become so irrelevant, they will join the ranks of Auburn and Mississippi State.
In the pregame they said the Coach has shaved 3 seconds off the time between plays from last year. But yes TN is really bad, WKU just gave them the ball every chance they got. UT will be lucky to win 1 or 2 conference games. I think Oregon gets in the dnace this year barring some sort of major meltdown like injuries, suspensions.
They still have yet to play a real defense, and likely won't until the NC. Autzen was chanting "we want bama" earlier. lol
That seems to be the case though every season until they play a real defense. They always look unstoppable then they meet a real defense, and they get their little duck necks snapped and thrown in some gumbo.
Watching the Oregon game, they were talking about how the SEC must go to a 9 game conference schedule to compete with other BCS conferences who have adopted or will be adopting 9 game conference schedules. Complained how much disparity some teams have in scheduling in the SEC within their own conference games. Smart man. He said it will hurt the SEC when they go to a 4 team playoff if the SEC is still playing an 8 game conference schedule.
That shouldn't be a problem. Then Alabama would have to play Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee every year. While LSU draws Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina.
I agree that is how it has shaped out in the past, I just think they have made the proper adjustments to combat SEC defenses. We will see.
