I wanted to make these comments a few days ago, but life got in the way during the week. High School football is wrapping up and the playoffs are right around the corner so time is short. Anyway here goes;
After watching a full day of college football last weekend a few things really jumped out at me.
Braxton Miller is really, really good. If he were not on an ineligible team (Ohio State) he would get a great deal more hype for Heisman Trophy.
Old Man football is alive and well. Just ask Mizzou. Let us list just a few teams playing this style of ball. Alabama, LSU, Florida, Georgia, So. Carolina, Kansas St., and Notre Dame.
Auburn is a bad football team but I don't put all of the blame on the coaches. there is something going on there internally that we don't know anything about. There is a cancer within the ranks that is causing the lack of effort problem. I believe that the identification of the problem will lead to the solution. That will determine whether or not Chizik will be back. My solution is to start the freshman QB and any other young player willing to give 100% each and every down regardless of experience level. Changing the attitude of the program is paramount to turning it all around.
Tennessee is a better football team than they were four years ago but hey are not a good team yet. I would give Dooley more time but the (unrealistic, ungrateful) fans probably will not. Let's be real about recruiting the states of Tennessee, Kentucky, Western Carolinas, and Virginia. They are going to need to expand to compete but he is doing that.
Finally, thank goodness for November. The leaves are turning, we had a cold front go through, and the race is on for a shot and the trophy. There are some great games coming starting with today so sit back and enjoy. I know I will.
