I like Tennessee more but I do like ole miss as well. Tennessee doesn’t seem to have a major weakness. Ole miss idk enough about them to say they’re truly elite but I do like them.

[@aguynamedguy309]

I think nico is the biggest weakness on the team... that's not a bad thing, either. He's young, and he's only gonna get better with each game.

[@foster7517]

​@aguynamedguy309 thats crazy nico is one of the best on the team he's elite those fumbles wernt his fault any qb would have done that there's not much you can do when you get hit from behind an your in the middle of throwing and every int he has had has not been his fault one he was hit and one if you watch it in slo mo a lineman jumped and got a finger on it an It made it go over the reciever but nobody noticed

[@MrT8terhead]

Tennessee weakness is the Oline depth. That’s the weakest link right now.

[@MrT8terhead]

We had two starting tackles out of the game at OU and we looked like crap a lot of times. Two fumbles off the same guy missing blocks.

[@jackpackage4278]

Tennessee kind of reminds me of 2023 Michigan. Strong defense, very physical, very balanced on O.

[@jayedwards4787]

Pate will take a dump on Ole Miss- you don’t even need to watch - always had a problem with Ole Miss and it comes out in various ways .One season he picked against OM four or five times, and was wrong every time ….He said Kiffin was gone to Auburn .Wrong …He thinks he’s gone to Florida …well see. …When OM whipped Tennessee at their place a coupla seasons ago, he didn’t take it well….so just hope Ole Miss does great this year and Kiffin stays to make Uncle Fester Pate sad

[@ghostexile87]

TN fan here with one more comment. Josh Pate talked about how TN offense is able to put up some points... How about that Oklahoma defense which held TN to two field goals in the second half? Last year the Vols won the first half against Bama and then losses in the second half by twenty-eight unanswered points... Yes, I know it's a different team this year, but TN has some work to do if they intend to be competitive this season in the SEC... Go Vols!

[@ruffinoandjoeshow]

interesting

[@senpaiofsavage3072]

Ruff, I hate to break it to you but Georgia's DBs are nowhere as good as you think they are. In fact they're less talented than Alabama's by a significant margin. They do have a more experienced secondary for sure. But I have said for several years that Georgia is suspect on the backend (we've seen it in a portion or big portion of games but not a complete game minus Alabama w/Bryce Young in the 2021 SECCG in which BY carved them up bad. We've seen Alabama do it with just JMo for a large portion of 2021 nat'l champ game and OSU w/MHJ do it too). Georgia's secondary weakness gets masked in most games by their front 7 being dominant but if you just slow their front 7 down (you don't have to stop them completely) then they can be gashed in the pass game. I think the key to the game this Sat between Alabama & Georgia is going to be which Oline can keep their QB safer. Also Georgia may have some decent RBs but they aren't as good as Justice & Jam. The best thing that can happen for Georgia is to get some guys back on that Dline so they have depth.

[@ruffinoandjoeshow]

"Ruff" it's the best DB's Bama has seen this season. Where is the lie in that?

[@senpaiofsavage3072]

@@ruffinoandjoeshow That's not how you worded it or "emphasized" it. The reaction from you was "You ain't seen no DBs like this big dog!". 21:45 in the video. Your reaction and emphasis implied that Georgia has "world beaters" in their secondary. Honestly they are more vulnerable there from a talent standpoint than Alabama is. If you had said "these are the best DBs Alabama has seen up until now" then there would be no issue. Also on the flip side of what you thought you said, Georgia's secondary hasn't faced WRs like they're about to face. Georgia will face more WR rooms like this than Alabama will because of their schedule (Alabama doesn't face Texas and Ole Miss like GA does). So the experience gained from this game from a secondary standpoint will benefit Georgia a lot more because they will need it. Alabama faces Tennessee and Missouri that have good to elite WRs (can't count Auburn anymore b/c they don't have a QB and their WRs are dropping a lot of passes too. I would include LSU here too b/c they do have the talent but they're too one dimensional right now not being able to run the ball effectively). Georgia faces Alabama, Tennessee, Ole Miss and Texas who can light their secondary up. In closing you may have thought you said something in your head but what came out in the video was totally different.

I don't understand why teams trash each other after a game. I'm all for pre-game hazing, but after the best message by both sides is "They were amazing. They disrupted us 100%. It wasn't obvious because the other side was so good but both are super good" That said, stop the "watering your field before the game". Underhanded action because you can't rely on your team. You're going to get people hurt and you should be liable. If you take out a stars career you should be paying their NFL salary. A-holes Stop faking injuries too.
