Make some bold predictions about the upcoming CFB season.

LSU wins the SEC West.
Ole Miss finishes 3rd in the SEC West.
Auburn loses 5 games.

 

[Swagnificent]

I don't think that he doesn't care, bc he needs defense to win.

I just think he's given up at this point.

He needs to hit his AD up for a couple hundred thousand to hire a co-dc.

Even if you have less talent, 2 eyes can help maximize what you have

The problem with their defense starts with the way they play offense.

Who has the better record this year, Miami or Texas?

 

[PortCityProphet]

Man im thinking of going to that game. I should have fukking got season tickets ($700 for good seats) but i aint wanna be going to the games by myself. Hour and a half drive there. My son, he'll be 4 next month, too young to sit at a game in that HEAT, my wife aint tryna leave the 4 kids home all those Saturdays all day basically to go w/me, and my homie @Yeahimcanadian already has Jags season tix

UT - cant go cause that's Canelo vs GGG night

A&M - debating that

LSU - def wanna catch that

UGA - i always go to that

FSU - depending on the implications, I may go

Why?

Since we both in Duval I'll roll with you to the games but you gotta drive, and buy some road snacks, and buy my alcohol, and help me pick out the drunken sluts

 

[hood b. goode]

I pretty much agree with all this. Only thing I'm not sure about is USC winning 10. And I had Miami winning 9 games. I can see 10 though. I think they take off NEXT year, similar to Michigan.

I hope that is Speight loses his job, it's because of bad play, and we're able to savage said game with Peters. Nothing makes me more upset than watching a QB lose 2-3 games that we should've won, and then finally making the change after there's nothing really left to play for.

I'm not gonna say I HOPE speight loses his job from bad play because I want there to be cut throat competition at the QB spot. I want peters to fight his way to the top, not get it by default.

The problem w/ speight is his ceiling tops out at game manager. Jim Harbaugh nearly got both Luck and RGIII in the same recruiting class at Stanford. He recruits gamebreakers. Peters has the natural talent.

If speight looks new and improved against UF then let's ride with him for the 1st part of the season and make judgements after. All these recievers are pretty young, I hope the qB can get on the same page w/ em.

@Brady-Carter :whoobama:


Still not better than McCaffery :jtroll:

many have tried and failed. Bob Stoops got hired as a defensive guy, had to switch ultimately. Gary Patterson came into the B12, had some success defensively before ultimately switching a couple years ago to a pass happy offense in order to keep up. Charlie Strong couldnt do it at Texas, he tried, but last yr brought in pass happy Sterlin Gilbert from Tulsa.

IMO, Nebraska, Colorado, A&M, and even Mizzou leaving hurt b/c at least 3 of those teams weren't just pass happy, so they sort of brought balance to the league even if they weren't all great teams.

But it's gonna take someone from the B12 to rise up and win in a traditional sense, and then rest of the league MAY follow suit. K-State still hasnt comformed completely.

@dtownreppin214 @rantanamo

It goes back to the way you practice. If you're practicing against the hurry up everyday you don't have time to slow things down and teach defensive fundamentals. Finding that balance is tough but a lot of times these offensive coaches cater to the offense in practice.

I hate what has happened to Big 12 football and TXHSFB in general with the heavy emphasis on 7-on-7 football. This shift started when Mike Leach got hired at OU and brought the air raid to the conference. Then Briles popularized his version of the "veer and shoot" and the high schools caught on. Just like a majority of the state's high schools were at one time running DKR's wishbone offense, a correction will have to come from Herman/Texas...if he's successful implementing the power spread, then the rest of the state will follow suit.
