That all depends on the strength of the other top ten teams. I would say this team isn't a top 7 or 8 team. Yet. 10 wins is within the grasp of this team; this year.
10 wins is a possibility now. I have said all along that 8 would show improvement, but now I think that there should be a legit expectation for 9 and possibly even 10 wins.

The problem is our defense made Richardson's performance almost Heisman worthy. We can't stop the run or pass. Other than that our D is fine,
But they didn't win. And when Richardson had his chance to craft a heisman moment, he threw a game-deciding pick. I'm not saying that HH is now the Heisman frontrunner, or even on the Heisman radar. But this game was a demonstrative exhibition of a good QB vs. a great QB. Both put up big numbers. But one made the plays when he had to. The other did not. We've been on the wrong side of this equation enough lately that we should savor it when we're on the right side.

Looked to me like two suck-ass defenses. I am just worried we wont be able to stop the better SEC teams. UF just doesn't have the talent all over the field we are accustomed to seeing.

Not with this defense. Especially if the offense has a bad game. Lot's of running teams to face from here on out.

maybe, just maybe, our offense made their defense look like a "suck-ass" unit?

Hopefully many of those recruits at the game today are defensive players.

Well our defense got Richardson out of his slump too. They aren't even a good offense and they put up some huge numbers as well.

La Tech is a little bitchy Butch wannabe
Great minds think alike. I was texting this very thing to a buddy during the game. I said that Sun Belt Billy "pulled a Butch" But will Billy blame it on a chart?

We actually slowed their rush attack pretty well for the most part, but did give up 5-6 bigish runs in critical situations. The 3rd and 12 at their 28 is particularly galling. We did make AR look way better than he is (IMO) throwing the ball all day long. Agree the D has a long way to go, unfortunately

Not to mention the fumble at a critical time. I was counting on him doing something like that. He did not disappoint.

It definitely was "two suck ass defenses". Theirs did suck a bit worse. What saved us is our offense >>> theirs

You're right about the defense. Last Saturday I mentioned some concern about it. I caught a little bit of flak about it. I'm not sure if the problem is coaching or if we could tweak the S&C program a little.

Recruiting also...particularly at CB and LB

I’ve said this elsewhere, but I really think that we are short of good quality SEC players on the defensive side of the ball. I believe that’s a big part of the problem.
