He sure was at UF...I just think he needs a core or area of black kids to recruit better. I also think he got a bit lucky with Bridgewater making him look better than he was.

He was at UF when Urban was there. Not a great example. His recruiting classes at UL were very underwhelming. Petrino pulled in a better recruiting class in his first year at UL than Strong did his entire time there.

The secondary played poorly for the Vols, but it was kind of a weird game. Willie Martinez was suspended and he's the one who sets the alignments for the secondary, so that had to play a huge role. Plus we should get a couple of good players back next week. And we didn't blitz but once. We'll know more after the Oklahoma game.

By the way Bowling Green put up 48 points against Maryland and had nearly 500 yds passing. That makes me feel better.
 
Maybe not a perfect game, but a workmanlike effort by the Tide. Now to get ready for the conference opener against a good Ole Miss team next Saturday.

Auburn, oh boy...............
 
Tennessee played outstanding for 3 quarters. Gotta learn how to finish. Again left points on the field and it cost us in the end.
 
Safe to say we just witnessed the best regular season game of the college season tonight. No other game will be as good as MSU-Oregon.

Rough weekend for the SEC. Yikes

Ole Miss blowing out Fresno State isn’t going to register, and Alabama’s yawning blowout over Middle Tennessee doesn’t really matter, and Texas A&M’s tremendous start is going to be blown off, and why? This is the week the SEC haters get to rise up and have their moment.

Auburn was awful against Jacksonville State and probably should’ve lost, Missouri was mediocre against Arkansas State and Florida stunk it up against East Carolina, but at least they won.

Tennessee once again proved that all the young talent in the world doesn’t matter if it doesn’t know how to close – the Vols had Oklahoma dead and couldn’t figure out how to do the burial. And, the big one, if you’re Bret Bielema and you spend your week grousing about Ohio State’s schedule, you don’t go out and lose to Toledo.

Yeah, Toledo might be the best team in the MAC, and this is a strong program capable of doing big things, but no, you don’t lose to a MAC team at home – or at least close to it, in Little Rock – if you’re a team gunning for greatness.

And that’s the biggest all-around issue for the SEC this week. After going 12-1 to start the season with a terrific 4-0 start against the Power Five teams, and after getting ten teams into the top 25 rankings, this wasn’t quite the time come up with a big national egg.

But that’s life as the best conference in college football. There will be losses, and there will be upsets.

And there will be the rest of the college football world ready to point out all the mistakes.
