# 13 overall and # 5 in the SEC. I was kind of surprised to see us that high but the transfers are included in this list. I guess Tennessee and Texas A&M have been hit with a lot of attrition just like us.

Quite a few under performing teams on that list. I wonder if its mostly due to something like being skill player heavy in the older classes while weak on the lines etc or is just certain teams not getting as much out of their blue chip recruits. The top 3 there OSU,Bama and Georgia just seem to be getting so many top recruits that the law of averages will assure them mostly top players even with the busts you get.

Yeah, many holes, but no excuse for 0-8.

This. We’re not devoid of talented players. We just don’t have as many as we’re accustomed to, and have some holes at certain positions. So while I’m all on board with it being a rebuild and needing some time, I don’t think we can play the talent card for every loss.

I’m probably more ok with the Uk streak ending than losing against a first time head coach with even less talent. Tonight very much sets the tone for our season and the direction of things.

Well it’s definitely better than 18, which is where Quiverlips left us. Moving up 5 spots with a transition class is kind of impressive.

That's an awesome link.
Thank you for posting.

Looks like, we aren't as bad as everyone seems to think.
We have enough talent to win at least 8 games.

In addition, If Dan is the coach I hope he is, we should beat at least 1 or two of the teams ranked ahead of us, in Talent, this year.

( Ga. , FSU, or LSU )

Good stuff

Thanks again.

We have a really good shot to beat all three of those teams. LSU and FSU both have horrible coaching. And Georgia really has no offense.

Thank goodness we’re not playing Alabama this year. We’d lose by 60.

With our tackling, I’m afraid it would rival that 1916 GT v Cumberland game. I do think we could keep it within 60 for at least the first half. But then it would just kind of get away from us late.

This defense reminds me so much of the 2007 defense. Terrible backfield and crappy tackling. But without the hope.

Now I am going to be real mad if we lose to Tenn and end up 5-7 or something like that but I thought there would be some transition pains.

As far as the 3 teams ahead of us and getting a win it will probably come down to whether FSU finds any offense at all before that game.

It reminds of FIU, although frankly neither Stiner nor Taylor would be playing for FIU.
