Florida, easily. We can overcome some mistakes against other teams because of our talent level but that aint happening against the Gators. Their defense is going to be scary good.
Florida, defending nat. champs, and they didn't lose a lot of folks this time. Bama, Ole Miss, Ga. and Auburn, in that order will be next toughest. If the Bama QB doesn't grow up quick, OM could be tougher than Bama. But Bama has recruited well and will put up a balanced team, probably better balanced for 22 guys than OM.
This is a joke right? Are we talking about the same Washington that dazzled everyone with a whopping ZERO wins in the 2008 season. I don't know if Jake Locker is coming back or not and don't care, if we don't steamroll these clowns the coaching staff needs to get back to the think tank stat. First game jitters or not, this should not be a close game.
I have to agree with this, and regardless, we will be compared with USC because of this game, and I hope it's a favorable comparison, much like the way our common opponents were weighted against each other in '03, when we played AU and Arizona very evenly.
you know thats a really good point, we really need to smoke washington because it will be compared with the USC vs Washington game by the espn goons.
i say florida even tho its at home. i dont think anyone is gonna put the number on us like they did last year. last year the defense was about as strong as a wet paper towel. something that kept sticking in my mind from reading the chad jones article - http://www.tigerforums.com/showthread.php?t=83346 - was that the defense was confused from top to bottom. sounds like the dc's couldnt decide where to use him and just scattered him about, not able to make up their minds. i think a lot of that confusion will be gone with the coaching change and we will see a much more put together d this year.
