Its easy to say that until you have to accept that that means the SEC gets left out. I guarantee the LSU bozo and Finebaum on ESPN will be preaching all SEC, all the time, the next two days.
They actually did and beat the #1 team in the Nation and 3 teams in the Top 13. Other than Bama, who has UT beat this year? As for FSU, that defense is stout!
Have you seen them play this year? Like I said earlier. Our interior DL is better but Verse is better than any edge guy we have and is going to get drafted ahead of both Sweat and Murphey. LB crew of both squads is similar and their DBs might be a tad bit better as a unit.
In answer to your question, UT has beat everybody across the field they’ve lined up against except BlowU in a rivalry game that came down to the last minute. FSU has a defense that has looked good against shitty competition. They held Louisville to 6 points!! Big F’n deal. Aledo would have beat Louisville by 20 this year.
We’re #1 in 3rd down conversion
In the game I just watched, Louisville did more to beat themselves on offense than FSU did to beat them on defense. UGA, UW, UM, Oregon, tOSU, Bama, and Texas could move the ball on them.
I coached and played at the collegiate level myself. My father was a college coach and is now retired. I’m just saying that you can’t replicate game speed in practice so in my opinion those practice hours are kind of moot.
So what you are saying is that First team reps in practice are worthless and there is no way a kid can learn in practice. If thats the case then why practice? No need to practice for a bowl game. Its not helpful since its not at 100% game speed.
They aren’t worthless but it’s not going to progress the kid so much that he’s suddenly going to be a better player 3 weeks from now. The mental and fundamental reps are great and the most valuable thing you can get from a practice this late in the year. But nothing can simulate game speed. That’s where the real growth comes from.
