I watched the Ole Miss game last night. Louisville has a crappy team but... Ole Miss has always recruited great receivers, speed guys and speed kills. Also, they were Lane Kiffinized. The offenses he drew up had Louisville stepping and fetching like their heads were on fire and their ass was a catchin', They were badly out coached by Lane K.
I saw the Bama game again last night. Speaking of "speed kills"... Bama has a new offense full of speed guys. And great quarterback play, I don't remember this quarterback from last year. The announcers said he played in 9 games.. He must have been the holder for field goals because I don't remember him taking a snap behind center. But that kid can play and run. He's fast enough opponents will have to take it into account in their game plan.
As good as the offense looked, the defense looked even better. The linebackers looked exceptionally good. Its been a few years since Bama had linebackers like these. This is going to be more of a traditional Saban defense, good. That's been missing the last 2 or 3 years.
Of course the are coached to a whole new level. Bama is back! Miami looked like a pop warner team up against the varsity. There was no part of the game where they looked to be in the same league.
I see no obstacle to another SEC tittle or another National Championship.
