We're lacking any real playmakers in the receiving corp. OL is not much better than average. Great RB 1, but average backups. A couple of studs on D, but the rest are no better than average. Two average at best coordinators.

Iowa - Wisconsin is just classic Iowa, or ND - Clemson without the ass kicking in the run game. Blocked punt by Iowa. Pick six by Iowa (Mertz).

Gary Danielson seems to lost a little excitement in his voice now that Bama has 2 losses.

Good, but not great. Sometimes vulnerable. We're not the worst team in CFB, of course. We're just a top 20 team, MAYBE top 10 team, but not a title contender this year. Most years I've thought there were only 1 or 2 teams that could beat us, and only then if we were off that day. This year, any of 25 teams could beat us on any given day.

I'm gonna just flat out say it. The SEC West is just not good.

Alabama looks really underwhelming. They're not bad, but I don't think they're better than Clemson at this point. Young is great when he wants to be. Problem is that Young is really inconsistent and he doesn't have a Jameson Williams to throw to this year. The defense is meh. They've had to escape 3 times against mediocre competition.

Yes, Ole Miss is mediocre. I thought Kiffin would have this team firing, but their offense with Dart is just really average. They're 11th but to this point, they've yet to win a game against a decent team. Kentucky was their "signature" win and they just lost to Vanderbilt at home. Their biggest win might actually be Troy.

I don't think we need to elaborate on Auburn or A&M. They both suck.

Arkansas is disappointingly bad. Thought they'd be better.

Mississippi State is meh.

Kelly jumped in at the perfect time, because I'm not convinced any of these programs are going to turn it around. Saban is looking like he's at the end of the line and his teams haven't looked overly impressive even last year. They've had to rely heavily on impact transfers. A&M went all-in on a guy who showed he's willing to let a program culture rot for the sake of winning, but A&M seemed to already be at the point of program rot without the success that FSU got to enjoy beforehand. Auburn is...well, Auburn.

Overall, we may be seeing the power dynamic in the SEC shift back to the East.

The Texas and TCU offenses somehow look worse than NDs second half offense so far

You can't honestly think the SEC West or Alabama look anywhere near their usual dominant selves.

Alabama looks nothing more than just good, probably a fringe top 10-15 squad like Clemson. Ole Miss has not beaten anybody of consequence this year. The rest of the division is just bad.

And why would I need that to make me feel better? Freeman has already delivered us a bigger win in less than 1 season than Kelly ever did in 12.

Is Ewers still on a million a year in endorsements or whatever it is?
Maybe this is what happens to QBs with that type of added pressure at 19.

The Texas board is amazing right now, almost reaching IE level after ND beats Navy by 2
