Monday Morning QB

Ok, I watched a lot of football this weekend.  A lot!  Here are some observations that I made, and some note worthy stuff.

There is no question Alabama and LSU are the two best teams in the nation.  The speed of the LSU defense and the punishing RBs of each team are mind boggling to me.  Neither team has a Heisman QB, but both teams are so sound in the kicking game.  When these two teams meet it will be a lot of fun!

Florida is a much better football team than most of us thought, but that game Saturday night was horrible.  This is the worst UK team in sometime, and I have seen a lot of bad Kentucky football.  If UT basketball post Pearl era is as bad as UK football post Rich Brook’s era then I may jump off the I-40 Bridge around mile marker 424.  One final thought on Florida, Charlie Weis is the difference in this team and he is making Urban Meyer look foolish.  We need the KC Chiefs to offer Weis the HC position.

UGA is very beatable.  I refuse to say “they have a lot of talent” it’s the SEC and everybody has talent.  The Ole Mess game was awful to watch.  Ole Mess is horrible and Houston Nutt is finished.  UGA get’s on my nerves.  They need to decide if they are going to get serious about this football thing.  UGA is like a bunch of rejected Auburn fans.  They have no identity and they live under other peoples shadows.  If they fire Richt and hire Malzone they will compete for NCAA title in 3yrs.

South Carolina is nothing more than South Carolina, and Vanderbilt is still a bad football program.  SC will only go as far as Garcia takes them.  To beat them right now you have to slow down Lattimore and keep Jeffrey’s from beating you deep.  Garcia is the wild card.  If he comes out in a zone you are in trouble, but if you take away the easy plays and make them work every play they will beat themselves.  BTW you can’t let the defense score.

Arkansas is fun to watch and they will beat Texas A&M this weekend because they are better defensively.  The Razorbacks can’t beat a team like Alabama because they are one dimensional.  Take note Dooley / Cheney.

The mistake in Mississippi is almost comical now.  Can you believe that we thought Dan Mullen had turned this team around? La Tech out played them from start to finish and it was nice to see former UT player Lennon Creer with a nice game.  Mississippi Mistake is a joke and they do not deserve to be in the SEC.  Watching them embarrass themselves embarrasses me.

Finally OK State is fun to watch.  I would love to watch UT and them play.  They would win but there could be 200 pts scored.  One point of interest I want to point out that came to mind while watching the Texas A&M game is this.  Now that the SEC will have new team(s) that means the schedules may change.  Could this mean that the Florida / UT game gets moved to later in the season?  If the ACC goes to 16 teams can FSU and Florida still play?  If not does the UT / Florida game move to November?  Keep in mind Florida took Auburn’s place in the schedule in 1992 when the conference was realigned.  Now if you add a team or two and move Auburn over to let Missouri in who plays who is not as big of a question as who plays when!

Go Vols!
