Goosby
Neto/Hutson
Hutson/Cruz
Campbell/Hutson
Baker
would be an experienced developed line next year
I think we'll be fine at OL next year, although I wouldn't mind taking a transfer OT just for some experience. It's the 24/25 classes that concern me, specifically at tackle. We've signed 2 true OTs (Baker/Brooks) the last 2 cycles. If Goosby is one and done, we're almost certainly hitting the portal. Not a dire situation (like DT), but we need to crush it in 26 like we did in 22. It's the single biggest reason why we're finally good again.

We got a lot of OL Flood identified early - it's a "put up or shut up" class for him. DL we bought a great class - Baker needs to develop and keep them on board.
I think Brooks could be a monster. Not sure about the others. When it comes to OL development, half of them probably won't pan out (even with Flood). Which is why I'd like to see us take 5 every year. It's too important a position to put all your eggs in one basket.
DL is a little more predictable, but you still need plenty of bodies so you can rotate guys. We look ok at edge, but we've fallen way behind on the interior.

No, my only point is that everyone is laughing about lsu. And it is funny. And I love it. But tomorrow Knight or Portney could decide to aim their dollars this direction and poach Texas players and it wouldn’t be so funny.
Of course, if a Texas billionaire or two wanted to step up, then obviously that would be great. But right now I’m going to limit my joy over lsu’s misfortune because it wouldn’t be very fun watching bidding wars between a couple of rich billionaire assholes. Basically I hate Portnoy.
Portnoy isn't in the same stratosphere as Knight.

Yes. Two of the most tradition rich college football programs of all time playing a home and home in two of the top college football stadiums is the problem and is going to lead straight to NFL-lite. To keep up college football tradition, we must play Louisiana Monroe at home both years.
Makes no difference to the CFP.

Quit sounding like Lane Kiffin or aggy.
We should be playing a great OOC game every year and not shy away from the SEC going to 9 games and LOVE GOING TO THE SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.
If we play 5 marquee games before the playoffs even start it’s still easier to get in with 2-3 losses.
Let’s lead college football away from being pussies and go beat the best teams in the country. It’s a spring board. If we are worth a fuck, we should want to go test it and prove it.
What starts here changes the world
The end result of this is NFL-lite. If that's what you want, great I guess.

Cool. Ask the CFP if they give 2 shits.

I know Texas has to take care of business first but can we beat bama? They look great then they don’t. I trust the defense but can the offense take care of things. I think I saw a stat that their defense is good but they didn’t look great against vandy.
If picking between UGA or bama. I’d wanna play UGA because they aren’t even that good but then they made us look not good so
I've seen nothing since the UGA game to give me much confidence about a potential rematch. They haven't looked great, but neither have we.
I think we match up better against Bama. Their defense is still shaky, and Milroe will turn it over a couple times. I think that game could go either way.

We have to win out. If we lose to aggy, there's a good chance we're looking at:
10-2 Texas
10-2 aggy
10-2 UGA
10-2 Bama
10-2 Ole Miss
10-2 Tenn
We would be the only team without a signature win, and 2 of those teams would have head-to-head over us. No one will care that Bama lost to Vandy, Ole Miss lost to UK, Tenn lost to Arkansas, etc.
