In the post-game interview on the radio, I heard: Coach Napier calling out (in a good way) Kitna and the other younger guys who got valuable experience. They made defensive adjustments after the first drive and then settled in for the rest of the day. AR is a young player and everyone needs to understand he'll get better. He still has more lessons to learn but Coach is very pleased. AR couldn't have played much better. The team is resilient They have to turn the page quickly and get ready for Missouri. Players are getting closer to managing their responsibilities and it was a little cleaner today.
What an easy throwing motion: This . . . and the unreal athleticism . . . are what have NFL scouts excited.
Happy to see some successful early aggressive play calling, deep passes completed, end around successful, etc. Disappointed we haven't seen much of that before, but gotta start somewhere I guess. QBs gave reason for hope. RBs always a team strength showed depth, solid group. WRs with some nice catches. Shorter only 1 catch, but a fun one. Not too sure about the D replacements, none really stood out for me. Lot of #s I had to look up. Maybe Black late.
We are capable of beating anyone on our schedule including Georgia, but we could also lose them all because we are that inconsistent. I think we end up closer to 8-4 (could be 9-3 or 7-6). I was expecting 10-2 before the season but we lost to both Kentucky and TN which I didn't see coming. Beat Mizzou and I think good things will continue to happen. Would hate to lose another homecoming!
