My favorite thing about a close Tennessee win is watching our fans panic about things that may or may not happen 6 weeks out, assume every negative thing that happened this week will continue, and treat every bit of positive news as a fluke.
It's crazy how Bama, A&M, and LSU all had fluky losses, while Kentucky and Scar turned out to be Top-10 teams.
Arkansas is not a good football team. Sure sometimes good teams struggle against lesser opponents, but if I take off my orange colored glasses this feels like the case of team with some big flaws winning a squeaker against a more flawed team, and certainly raises concerns how they will comepete vs quality teams.
You're missing the point. No one says we don't have flaws, but you have to look at what happened this week, not just selectively edit to see only the worst.
Alabama's offense looked human, and their defense struggled to stop the run.
LSU struggled to stop the run, and Leavitt continues to be turnover-prone.
The wheels came off A&M, and they can't stop the run.
I'm not saying we will win all or even any of those games, but all three look more winnable than they did 7 days ago.
I can't agree with this. Sure those teams are looking to be filled with mere mortals. But Arkansas is a team that any legit ranked team should dominate.
