A few notes
For some reason, Nick Saban refuses to discuss, mention, fuss or even talk about a starting line-up going into the first game against Middle Tennessee State. Worried about the Blue Raiders, Sir Nick? Doubtful, although MTSU does play a little defense, the offense as they say is “a work in progress.” The Tide should roll here but a few national college football pundits are not so impressed. Y’all lay off Saban guys, he just purchased a 17-million-dollar home in Jupiter Beach, Florida. Life is tough when you coach football and own a Mercedes dealership for a living.
Good to see Georgia tight end Brock Bowers kick off his Heisman Trophy winning season. Huh??? A tight end will win The Heisman this year?? He is one of the best players in college football, but a tight end has never won the prize. UGA has a better chance at a three-peat for the National Championship than Bowers winning The Heisman.

With a complete rebuild on Coach Napier's hands, one of the most difficult schedules in football and an early season trip to Utah, we have been selling The Florida Gators short bigly. But the line in the Utah game opened preseason at +9 UF and has dropped to +4 UF this week. Utah starting QB Cam Rising must be hurt, and if the Gators can slip past the Utes, the trajectory of their season could change late this Thursday Night.

Sunday, Sept. 3rd at 6:30 PM in Orlando must watch football when LSU takes on FSU to start the season. This is obviously the biggest game of the weekend but also one of the biggest for the season. The winner here has an early inside track to the college football playoffs. The loser can rebound but will be pushing a wet noodle up a hill all year trying to recover. Somebody will make a game ending field goal to win or miss one to lose in this game.
Last but not least, The Hugh Freeze Era at Auburn begins this Saturday. Like all first year coaches, well almost all, this season will be filled with many highs and lows with the thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat. Nevertheless Auburn fans, IN HUGH WE TRUST! Coach Freeze is the right man for the job at Auburn. Harsin who? You dang right!
