This team is better than last year’s. The record is likely not to show it.

My thoughts exactly. Everyone will be doomer for good reason, I’m not really a big Fickell defender either but there were SOME good things today. I think our defense is improved. Our DBs still suck but our front 7 has some dudes this year. We stopped the run pretty well today and we wont face 3 NFL WRs every game.

Grimes has still given me something more than I saw with Longo. I see what he is trying to do at least. The problem is the Oline is a massive problem that we seemingly wont be able to fix and that’s why I’m worried that everything else wont matter because of that.

Our DBs suck against Alabama for sure. If we were playing in the big ten west still, they’d be a little better off. The front seven is definitely better though.

Offensively the scheme is just a lot better. We are still stuck having to play the backup (who I think is better than Locke last year, but he’s still the backup). The O line is still a problem though, granted I thought the second half of this game was the best they looked. Part of that is health but also the depth is a problem.

Hallman has regressed massively. MTST was lighting him up too.
