Bama will be our first real test? Which Bama? Bama vs Arky or TN? Tell me what you think of Mizzou after Saturday. Mizzou will end up a top 8 team this year. That team can play with anyone. Ole Miss was 9 in CFP when we handled them.Yep, you are correct it was 50 yards. Stats were misleading as the dawgs had a big 4th quarter rally to get the 1 point win. Ohio State was even with dawgs last year and game could have gone either way. Last year dawg team was better than this year, and yes your the schedule has been charmin soft so stats are meaningless at this juncture. Bama will give you your first real test as they can match you along the lines. But first time that the sec hasn't been the dominant conference in a few years.
Stats were misleading against OSU? So don't count all the stats of the whole game? There's nothing misleading. OSU rarely stopped us. We punted twice (both in 3rd qtr). OSU punted 5 times. We threw a pick that set up 1 of their tds in the first half. We earned everything we got and it was enough.
Also, we don't have to be as good as last year, although statistically we're better offensively. We don't have to beat 2022 UGA. We just have to beat 2023 teams, and I wouldn't trade teams/circumstances with any of them...
What conference is dominant this year? I'd say there's not one. If you do a deep dive into Big 10 offenses, you may agree. They're in for a rude awakening when they play in the CFP imo.
