Heard Bill Oliver on Finebaum...said LSU's defense is very good..great personnel...sounded like he thought they could do more things with the secondary.

And UT is doing it without star talent, outside of Berry. I think there is a lot of solid guys, but just wait until they get some star talent at DL and LB.

We might end up number one. We only have Memphis State Tiger High School, Candy, KY, and Ole Miss left on the schedule. Ole Miss might the only one of that bunch that could score a TD on us.

especially LSU which is ranked 68th.

Bama: ranked 7th in 3rd down conversion %
UF: 2nd
LSU: 68TH
UT: 13th

Hmmmm...wonder why:)

Doesn't Memphis have a pretty good offense? I know they have some talented wide receivers.

Memphis has the 70th ranked offense, and the 100th ranked defense amongst FBS teams.

So no, they don't have a pretty good offense. It might be better than a couple of the teams we've played, but our defense shouldn't have any trouble shutting them down.
