I would say, after watching the Kentucky and Flarrda games, that perhaps they were not ready after all, esp #55, ole turnstile giving those "lookout" blocks.
Even still, we are okay NOW, but I'm looking more at 2020. And to win the SEC, we need to be much better than OK. Mullen thought his superior playcalling could get it done without an OL, lulzz.
There's your mistake like 50% of this board still comparing the team, in this case some players, to the beginning of the season to how we finished. We are much much better, Eiland included, right now than we were then and by the start of next year we'll be even better.
I'm not concerned barring a ton of injuries, which is definitely possible. I think Suggs has a lot of potential too. Don't forget about Dolla Bill too!
