[Coach Rab]

Our 1st full week of decent match-ups.

I believe Oklahoma State will have their hands full and will lose this one to K State.

Notre Dame should be better than Louisville, but the Irish will find a way to win but also let them stick around.

Oklahoma should notch their first SEC win.

I hate to say it, but I believe Arkansas will give A&M all they asked for and some.  Arkansas by 6.

I believe the Georgia game will not be a great game for long.  I expect Georgia to shut down the Bama offense and win this handily.

If Arnold starts, we lose by 14, but if Hawkins starts, we lose by 3.

I don't know man.  It seems like Auburn is in one of those 5 win years before they come back and win the National Championship the next year.

Even with Hawkins starting my opinion is this this team has a 5 win floor. The only guarantees I see are Auburn and Maine.

I only saw the highlights last night after our game.  Looked to be highly entertaining for sure.

 

dramatic end with the replay

[RETIREDFAN1]

Kentucky beats Ole Miss......20 to 17

botched replay in my opinion ... no way there was clear and convincing evidence he didn't make the catch .... Miami should have lost that game ....

[JustAFan11]

Well Alabama is going to allow us all to get in bed early tonight. 

[MrBuddyGarrity]

UGA looks slow tonight. 

[RETIREDFAN1]

I'm watching Illinois and Penn State along with Florida State/SMU and Cincinnati/Texas Tech........

[MrBuddyGarrity]

Ryan Williams is ridiculous. 

[MrBuddyGarrity]

UGA woke up, but it might be too late. 

[thegreatbambino]

UGA has a chance here, down 5 with just over 3 min to play.

[thegreatbambino]

And UGA just took the lead.

[MrBuddyGarrity]

Unreal. Wow! 

[Lobo97]

What a game!

[Valhalla]

What’s the deal with the fake win streak stat about Georgia they’ve been talking about all night?

Who cares if they have won 42 straight regular season games? Their win streak is like 6. They lost in the SEC championship last year.

[Valhalla]

This looks like 2014 TCU vs Baylor all of a sudden. 

[MrBuddyGarrity]

Bama leads! This game is on crack. 

[thegreatbambino]

Pass defense is optional/non existent at the moment.

[Valhalla]

#8 from Georgia needs to learn to comeback for the ball. It won’t be PI if you don’t fight for it.

That’s over with now at least.
