If USF had a Division 1 kicker, that game shouldn't/wouldn't have even gone to overtime. 3 consecutive misses in the 3rd quarter alone....sheesh.

Auburn is going to lose a lot of games with that offense.

your right Bigs, that game should have been 10pts or more. the barner o-line can run block but can't pass protect a lick, that qb will never make it through the year with the beating he's taken.
nice job by your bulls ! mike ford doesn't look to bad.

I bet Tuberville is regretting scheduling that one. 5yrs or so ago, a game against USF probably looked like a nice tune up for the SEC season....oops.


Next up for the Bulls, GPK's Tar Heels.....

Not recently... it oughtta be interesting to see what happens there. I love that game... such a great rivalry. Should be a good game, although not as good as the one where we get to watch Nick Saban cry like a baby when LSU destroys the Tide.

The above is pretty funny stuff, Timm...

Let's see, there were three in conference losses so far:

Mississippi State lost to LSU in week 1, Georgia lost to South Carolina and Vandy lost to Bama (in week 2.) Three teams had to lose there because we all know you can't have two winners. The three losses OUT of conference were Tennessee to California in week 1, Auburn to South Florida and Ole Miss to Missouri (in week 2.) While I don't particularly care for Auburn, Ole Miss or Tennessee, I still want the SEC to win all of their out of conference games, so it's disappointing. I still believe they're the best conference in the land, though.

An unbiased opinion is that the SEC is probably not as good as you may have thought it is from top to bottom though LSU looks like a superior team. Tennessee, Georgia, Auburn, Miss st., Ol Miss, Vandy are all flawed teams that are very ordinary especially in light of previous sucess. S. Carolina, Ark, and FL are still in the air, Alabama looks better and KY is pretty good. Outside of LSU this may be a down year for the SEC.

Auburn has a bad QB and was simply outrun to the ball on many occasions by a decent S. FL team. Georgia has been masquerading as a top 25 team for 2 years but they have no offense. Miis St stinks, Vandy was never in it yesterday (though Alabama may be much improved) Ol Miss is not very good, Tennessee struggled with a very mediocre S.Miss team before adding a late gimme TD. I keep hearing about how many players that FL lost and its hard to judge from the 2 spring training games they have played so far but I believe they are dangerous and may be the only team to give LSU a run. KY will beat Louisville this week unless the Cards start tackling people.

The fact is that as coaches learn that big is not better and that speed is the #1 factor to success, the smaller teams will turn to spread offenses and recruit unpolished players that can run. The entire upper echlon of Big East has done this and it is how teams like Louisville and Rutgers became top 20 teams seemingly overnight. Plus the added exposure that the smaller conferences have now that virtually every game is on tv somewhere allows the 2nd tier prospect to go somewhere where they will play because they know they will get exposure. The truth is that only a few teams like USC and LSU have both speed and power. Watching a Michigan the last 2 weeks and in the Rose Bowl it is readily apparent that they just lack the team speed to be really good. I dont know if any team has as many individual talents at skill postions as they do but they cant overpower teams with their big lines anymore. I guess what I am saying is that parity is coming to the college game like it did to the NFL and the power conferences are not going to just waltz in and dominate all the time. Of course the unwanted side effect is teams deciding to schedule division III non conference games as to avoid an early season loss.
