Not bad considering Ole Miss's debacle. We just need to beat Georgia.

So much for my dozen...

Fair ranking I think.

I said 12-15. 14 is about right imo. Without Grier we aren't really a top 10 team. Treon is a talented QB, but he's just too short to see the plays developing over the O-Line and he gets over-excited when the game is on the line late. He works his magic best when he rolls out of the pocket. Teams will scheme to keep him in the pocket to limit our passing game unless they're just stupid. We could easily still win the rest of the games on our schedule and play in a decent bowl game this year. 1 loss isn't the end of the season. Our O-Line has improved, but they're still a long ways from being good enough to get us to the play-offs. Run blocking is still very weak.

All you people calling out Taylor as our problem in the run game really make me laugh. 4Net couldn't do much when our D-Line got penetration and hit him behind the line. At least Taylor usually makes 1 or 2 miss so he can get back to the line of scrimmage most of the time. You all need to go back and pay closer attention. Just what do you expect out of him when nearly every run play he's met in the backfield by 2-3 defensive players as soon as he gets the ball? Get real...


By the way, running on 2nd down 90% of the time doesn't help matters either. Nuss needs to get more creative on 2nd down.

Yep no push with that young O line at all against that talented LSU D line or much push at any time this season in reality. Our line is just too young and not strong enough right now going against SEC D lines..

At this point, it is still in our hands, so I'm not too worried. It is a tall order, but if we win out and beat likely LSU or Bama in the SEC championship, we have a good shot at the playoff. Frankly, I don't think we are that good (as in top 4) right now, especially without Grier, but it isn't out of the realm of possibilities.

We are still in the drivers seat to get to Atlanta. That would be a big boost to recruiting.
