Re: Phil Steele’s focast

There was talk on sports radio in Montgomery last week about this. He has Alabama's WR group ranked #6 in the SEC. That seems about four spots too low.

Ole miss
UGA
Auburn
Mizzou
USCe
Alabama

Top 3 have some serious talent. USCe and Mizzou are the only ones that I have some real issues with. But Drew lock might be why he loves the Mizzou unit.

I like our group better especially the guy that will be chucking the ball to 'em.

I think the media sees our WRs as question marks more than we do.

Re: Phil Steele’s focast

Okay with all of this. Our WR hasn't really been tested due to some issues we had at Qb.

They are young and inexperienced but there is amazing talent. Add Shavers and Waddle to our soph trio and Tua at QB, the post season results will look much different.

I hope its not Bama and Clemson again. I want to pound someone else this year...

The same 4 teams from two years ago? I'd say it's very unlikely that we repeat the exact same semifinal matchups from two years ago. I don't think Washington makes it.

Out of the 4 they have hands down the easiest path.

I think Washington loses the opener to Auburn, which means they must win the rest to have a chance. We shall see.

It’s a toss up to me.

If LSU does finish 5th in the SEC West, Orgeron will be gone.

You fire the mad hatter twice in nine months and replace him with Ogre. In order of progression who would you hire next?

Good question, but I don't believe they think that many moves ahead.

Personally, I wouldn't have fired Miles without having someone else in pocket. I sure wouldn't have fired him in mid-season. That was a huge mistake that just compounded the fiasco ending the previous season.

I think they've painted themselves into a corner, and severely limited their realistic options. But then, realism doesn't seem to enter their thought processes. So who knows?

I think it’s funny that the 1st time they thought they had Jimbo but now aTm has him

Here are some Phil Steele blog posts that help explain why he likes Washington.

% of yards returning

% of tackles returning

2 deep class breakdown

Can't help but notice a particular SEC school high in all three of those list, too.

From what I've read and/or heard from various outlets, they did have Jimbo. Then, Joe Alleva completely botched it by letting it go public. That's what happens when you have a horrible AD.

See the thread on Kiffin's new contract.

Yeah and don’t be surprised if MSU is actually better than last year. I do predict they are going to beat Mullen on his return to StarkVegas.
