Pass blocking is not terrible, and hopefully it comes along. Harris doesn't have very good pocket awareness either. Their first turnover of the year, his interception when his arm was hit as he released the ball....all he had to do was step up in the pocket. That will likely come with experience. I'd be pleased with a 10-1 regular season for sure. All the teams have flaws...so I'd say they have just as good a chance to win it as any other of the top SEC teams. At least, Vegas thinks so.
I do think many people overreact to one game. Before Saturday, a LOT of people were calling Ole Miss a VERY GOOD, if not GREAT team. A lot of people had written Bama off because of their play against OM......Georgia was great when they beat South Carolina, Vandy, Southern Louisiana, and ULM...Florida is now all the way back, despite struggling against weaker teams the first 3 weeks, etc.....LSU had a poor game....if they string a few together I believe it's cause for concern. Until then I'm going to continue to enjoy the wins.
With the Florida game now announced to be a night game, I really like out chances. They are not great against the run....but OM couldn't expose that...they were also stout against a weaker OM OL...LSU has a very strong OL.....should be a good game...but gotta win at South Carolina first (if they play it there).
Roll Tide!
