and we held them to 17 points until the last 2 min of the game ..

Had we kept running the ball, they likely end with 17 points. Ok. I’m over it now. Moving on to bama

I think Mateer looked more like pre injury mateer in the second half ..

he did. looked like an entirely different qb from first half...and whole game ole miss.
why is that?

He found some success running the ball. I think his entire game depends on if he can run the ball well.

Our secondary is not above average in the SEC. When it comes to WR/CB matchups, we're losing ground to almost every team, even teams toward the bottom like Auburn.

And yes, elite pass rush can absolutely save a secondary. When Aguilar had time to throw early, he cut through the secondary like butter. It wasn't until we got pressure that he struggled.

Good point. When he had any time to throw, his receivers were WIDE OPEN. Their offense generated more than 450 yards. That didn't happen by accident. Thank heavens the defense finally forced turnovers. We didn't need to complain as much about the defense not forcing turnovers when they were forcing punts, but Tennessee did not punt until Q3. BV needs to focus on upgrading the secondary in the offseason if the defense is going to take it to the next level. I can't see how anyone would question that.

We have NFL corners and safeties... Couple are young. Gentry will be back hopefully next week.

we gave up 17 points until we conceded 7pts late.

1st half was rough but got a lot better as the game went on...

Tenn has one of the best offenses in college football.

Bama doesnt stop the run well.. Hopefully that last a few more weeks!

I'm not saying our DBs are bad. But week in and week out, our DBs are more vulnerable against theirs than vice versa.

Our defensive production is 90% up front. BV knew what he was doing concentrating our NIL there.

I think this is more of an indictment on our current WRs than our CBs. We don't have the talent at receiver to punish teams in our conference.

My concern as well. If I was spending.. an elite WR is what Id spend on. One of those that Auburn is wasting would be fine...

That's a big part of it. Starting true freshmen not named Stingley, Surtain, or Hunter is also typically telling.
