He has been doing it all along and EVERY team dedicates two OL to him.

Grantham doesn't seem to think that's beneficial.

Forgive me then. Maybe I missed it b/c we have been giving up rushing yards so easily that I did not notice him. I thought all I was seeing the past few weeks was Shuler and Ancrum and Campbell and Dunlap getting pushed around like shopping carts.

FSU, UGA, UT. You could argue Auburn or Miami too but they have largely died off.

Well, you left off LSU, who we play every year. As far as FSU & Tennessee, both of those teams are complete disasters so beating them in their current condition is no big accomplishment.

Miami isn’t a rival and they haven’t been for decades.

I never see LSU referenced as a rival. We play USC, Vandy, and Kentucky every year too. Are they rivals?

No, mainly because none of them have consistently been Top 25 programs. We’re supposed to beat, no make that steamroll, USC, Vandy and Kentucky...every single year.

LSU is consistently referred to as a rival. The cross divisional annual opponents are typically based on strong, historical rivalries...like Bama/TN, Auburn/UGA, etc.

Since we routinely steamrolled those teams.

Well 2 things. 1) none of those teams have been consistent top 25 teams in the past decade regardless of our performance against them and 2) now you know why, at least partly, we are on our 4th head coach in the past decade...poor performance against traditional SEC bottom feeders. Bottom line is none have been considered rivals because they usually suck and we SHOULD beat them easily.

No arguments here but doesn’t address the original statement about rivals.

Interestingly, we expect to beat those teams but we don’t really invest much more than they do. I’m with @Swamp Donkey , unless we find a really special coach, nothing gets substantially better until we fix UAA.

I’ve clearly explained why KY, USC & Vandy aren’t rivals and why LSU is a rival in the eyes of many. Are you seriously still trying to debate this?

@Swamp Donkey are you seriously trying to pretend that LSU isn’t more of a rival than USC, KY and Vandy in the eyes of many? Lay off the rum...you’ll regret not doing so in the morning.
