They could potentially be a top-10 team by the time we play them. LSU is always going to be good if they find their groove early in the year.. . Could be a big game for UGA
USCjr
LSU
UF
Auburn....all tough games
Comments
Or they could lose 3 games and coach O isn't even still there when we get there
They will be a threat to no one this year, no QB
We don't know anything much about anybody yet.
I'm concerned about everybody, including the first opponent. The Govs are planning on looking good. We are vastly more talented, but, hey, it's a game that isn't won yet...
Then there's those pesky Gamecocks. Gotta hate them. Gotta beat them. They won't be easy.
That's enough worrying for me today.
Go, Dawgs!
I have talked up Joe Burrow quite a bit as I have followed his career since high school since his Dad is the DC at my alma mater Ohio University.
I am not sure of his supporting cast and he did not have the luxury of spring practice, but he is a "Baller" and will make them more competitive. No team should overlook his ability to run. He has very deceptive speed, and will turn it back up the middle and not head for the sidelines.
A very different personality than Jake Fromm (I like Jake's better), but Burrow is a very hard worker and lives in the film room like Jake. I have read several stories where he has won over most of his new teammates.
He should not be dismissed as someone who did not win the Ohio State job. A very large percentage of fans wanted him as the starter. I also think that after four years of Urban Meyer, he may have figured out what a creep CUM is.
These are repeat video's but I figure we have some new folks on board so I will re-post.
First Spring Game is Freshman Year without a Black Jersey so he was "Live Bait" for defenders who wanted to hit him in the pocket:
Run in the state championship in which he threw six touchdowns:
LSU would be better off with Ray charles running the offense.
If we expect to win a National Championship, we should be able to beat any team in the top 10.
If Georgia has a very bad day any SEC school could win. Unless that happens Georgia is going into the SEC championship game 12-0. So yes LSU could beat them but so could South Carolina, Missouri, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Florida, Kentucky or Auburn.
I wonder if Bama fans worry about every game the way we do.
I'm worried about LSU too. Worried how much longer they have to suffer with Coach O while other teams in the SEC West pass them by.
I hope LSU is a good team. We need them for our SoS. However, they have a guy coaching them who would be more likely to be a Waffle House cook than a top-10 coach. We have better players, a better staff, and a better QB. We will prevail.
The only concern I have with LSU is the atmosphere.
Coach o couldn’t coach his way out of a wet paper sack.

@bmauldin GO DAWGS!!!
i think the team has taken a turn but the fan base has not. does bama worry about ole miss because they have a dominant receiver? do they worry about LSU bc it’s loud? they just expect to win and expect to have a chance to play for a national championship at the end of the season. it’s time for us to make that change
I agree that the atmosphere at Death Valley is what is scary. That stadium will always be a top 5 hardest to play in each and every year... and is probably the hardest for night games
With that being said their offense will be non existent.... and while their defense is good, what defense can we not score 28 plus on?
My point exactly.
UCF?
Well we ain’t Bama so once we get on their level and win 5 ships in 9 yrs then we can maybe stop worrying so much. We can’t look past teams. Even Bama only had one undefeated season of the 5 they won. Every SEC opponent deserves respect.
None of us are looking past them. We just aren’t biting our nails in anxiety over them. We believe those days are over. There’s a new sheriff/philosophy in town and I think many on this board have chugged the kool-aid
Lifted this from the SBNation forums. It shows the statistical likelihood of going undefeated based on projected win probability:
Taking it for granted is not a good quality in a fan base. And it’s why Saban is often defensive in his press conferences, because he doesn’t want people taking it for granted.
Every SEC win should be appreciated. Well, some more than others. Like UT is quickly becoming a has-been. But every SEC win. Some good OOC games too.
