IMO James Franklin proved you can win and recruit well at Vandy. These "were an academic school" excuses really gotta go.

Hooker is the worst, what a hack.

Not necessarily disagreeing with the point your making with his commitment to the team, but I think Dabo should have given him a ring. Even if he wasnt on that seasons team long he still gave that university 3 years and 1 as a starter. It also definitely makes Dabo look petty. But more importantly if that young man had stayed at Clemson for the chance of a nc, he would have likely tanked his draft stock in the process. Getting the extra season to play with Missouri gives him a much better chance to earn those paychecks.

Jalen Hurts had another year of eligibility. Bryant had to redshirt to preserve his only remaining year of eligibility.

Launch, cause wouldn't be for schiano. I believe it would be for interviewing and offering Leach without permission, heard he flew out on a ksu friends plane

cept you forgot that DB also blocked 2 kicks forced more fumbles recovered more fumbles AND scored a touchdown Barnett also didnt start the season as a starter, MG was a starter instantly when he wasnt on the bench for being hurt like always DB easily over MG

Gruden's last college job was as WR coach at Pitt in 91 not Pacific in 89

you dont have to redshirt if you move from fcs to fbs, or vice versa. he is eligible for 4 years since he redshirted this past season

Right? Id give Strong more time to actually get his thing set up as compared to hiring Herman who just hasnt done enough, for me, yet

Who have they played again? UT passed all over them.....and a bunch of 100plus ranked offenses.....

It didnt really bother me, bama was handling us and it didnt seem to overboard, I dont see the need to make a mountain over a molehill, atleast he didnt drop the ball before he scored Trying to celebrate

Nobody thinks we would have won if Kiffen stayed they made a couple of bad hires that lead to a lengthy rebuilding process...9 starters were out and it would have been tough to win with those players in the game, were still gonna win out and lose to bama again in the sec championship game....arkansas is gonna finish the job on fl for us

Ohhh.......and Vanderbilt

Dplafoll, fair points our oline vs your dline doesn't look good for us, the depletion of health on defense doesn't help. Point five is about the only one I disagree with as well. I think it will be close at half time, but I dont think we will have a lead. I am going to boldly predict myself that we go into the 4th quarter down by 7 or less, and cant take a lead lose by 10-14 points, but man do I hope we win, good luck! #rockytop

Isnt the writer one of UGAs old washed up QBs?

I think thats pretty fair, injuries are a concern. Depth at a couple positions are thin, and that can hurt against a team as stocked up as bama. Hopefully it will be a good close game where anything can happen, OR Bama will take control and run away quick with it. Good luck to both teams though #rockytop

UGA is out of the east race right now though and UT isnt, good luck finding a loss after Bama

The same could be said about UGA vs UF, Florida owns UGA in thst rivalry, but your expecting it to be a close game? Im not saying it wont be, but you cant say Auburn and GT wont be close reguardless of past, different coach, different strokes perhaps, only time will tell. But as of right now UGA absolutely has not shown a defense that can stop any team real consistently, and Eason is a freshman who could or could not show up. Im not knocking the kid at all, hes gonna be great but let's not disregard last weeks performance

Why wouldnt you present both sides? They have multiple writers, who Im sure have there own seperate opinions Whats it matter if we prove Joe wrong and win anyway? Any given Saturday #rockytop

I agree with lsumc a contingency plan with the option to cancel could have been set in place

Monkeybread....I dont think it matters what we did and didnt do against a&m we still lost, thus they have bragging rights coming up with excuses, isn't a good a look

Not necessarily, uga has very losable games against uf auburn and georgia tech, uf has very losable games left against lsu uga arkansas and fsu

Every scout there will be watching Barnett dumbass

The mentioned Johnny Manziel led a&m team

I dont think its arguable, bama is elite on the line but there isnt a single player present, as good as Garrett and Barnett

Id also like to hear how bama is overrated, they are on pace to break the SEC record for points averaged per game in a season, and that defense has scored in every contest...

I agree with brokeback, what part havent they lived up too? Not going undefeated? I dont think anybody expected that to happen this year, realistically

As a vols fan, I appreciate the hell out of this comment, and im looking forward to what could be a great game!

IMO coming from a Vols fan, in terms of draft stock I give Garrett just the slighest edge. More based on built and potential then stats. Barnett has been a monster and model of consistency this season, hes been a monster at times throughout his career, BUT it took him a while to get there, he has grown more as a leader and a player than I think Garrett has. Many times the past few seasons there were games against much lesser schools that Barnett never showed up in. Garrett has been a consistent monster since day 1.
