Jokers Wild

Like you I have been reading everything I can find getting ready for the season to start and like you I have come to some conclusions. Some are based on facts and some on gut feelings.

Gut Feeling: We are a lot stronger this year on the offensive side of the ball and have a better defense than people are expecting.

Fact: Georgia has good skills players but is starting a quarterback with no experience so expect them to play conservative for a few games. That could cost them a loss at SC or Miss St and we get them at home a week before Florida.

Gut Feeling: We get SC a week after they play Alabama and Spurrier will have chewed on Garcia so much for the loss that he throws several interceptions and we run it down their throats and catch them sleeping on several long passes.

Fact: Tennessee is like so over the hill that one good punch in this fight and they are down. How we control their run game will determine if we win or not.

Gut Feeling: Florida is going to be better this year than last year. Run it on them and pass effectively and we stay in the game but expecting a win is a little far fetched.

Fact: If we don’t beat Vandy we don’t deserve to play in a bowl. Stop their run game and we win hands down.

Fact: We should easily win six games and have the opportunity to win nine since we have a joker up our sleeve. This season is going to depend on Joker. If he really opens up the offense and defense and has the special teams playing their best with the depth and speed on this team we have a great year.
