No change for me. Last night went basically exactly as I expected. Some early season kinks but the potential to be great is obviously there.

Agree. The KSU game will shed more light on this team......

About the same. Still 9-3 (5-3). Feel a bit better about WR, a bit worse about CB. Otherwise about what I expected. Didn’t expect 63 points though.

Based on the performance this weekend nd by the Rest of the West, my expectations are now slightly tempered from warm to tepid.

Fitz will have to do a heck of a lot better than Kayteon. The yardage numbers were great but 13 for 31 ain't gonna cut it in the SEC. Kayteon also had an advantage in that SFA's coverage sucked. Our guys were wide open but still at times still had to stop and catch the ball. SEC secondary's ain't gonna allow that to happen. Here's hoping Fitz will do better.

Stayed the same. We did exactly what should have been expected.

What we did is hardly 50% of the equation though. Many thought Auburn was going to struggle to replace 4 OL starters, LSU was going to suck, and that OM would be a pushover. None of those turned out to be true.

Going to agree with you. All the teams we thought would be down don’t look to be that down. So every SEC game minus Kentucky maybe is going to be tough. The West is going to be really tough this year. I would say my heart high expectations of 10-2 have kind of been lowered to medium expectation of 8-4. We will see how Fitz plays next week and how we do against our first couple of SEC teams. I might start feeling better about 10-2 again. it’s just going to be very tough.

I didn’t get to watch a lot of the Auburn game but I thought the consensus was that they did indeed struggle on the oline?

I don’t think LSU is as good as they looked. Our D can hold them and O will score enough. AU can be beat at home. I think the real question is aTm. If they play well against Clemson the. That may be a loss. Leaning closer to 9-3, but we CAN still win 10.
