After the first game against LSU, Mike Leach was a beloved football genius, and the best thing to come to the SEC since Lane Kiffin. By the end of the season, there were more questions than answers, unfortunately. Oh, and LSU win wasn’t as impressive bearing in mind the Tigers’ defense was utterly dreadful. Will Mike Leach’s second year turn out to be better than his 3-5 SEC record? OFFENSE KJ Costello – who arrived from Stanford for the SEC – ended up getting hurt, and never got his job back from freshman Will Rogers. Maybe that was because he ended up with interceptions (11) than touchdowns (6). Rogers ended up with more touchdowns (11) than interceptions (7). Rogers threw

Last season was a weird season for Florida. Florida finished the season winning the SEC East, beating Georgia in the process. They lost a heartbreaker at Texas A&M, saw themselves in a continuing argument with Texas A&M about who should be the country’s 4th-best play-off team….and then lost to heavy underdog LSU at home in a situation that will be a meme for years to come, and then battled Alabama to the end in the SEC Championship Game. Their bowl game – after their freaks Kyle Pitts and Kadarius Toney – as well as Trevon Grimes – packed up their boots and went to the NFL Draft – ended up with the Gators getting nuked by Oklahoma. Because without those

      Last year, Texas A&M was the most interesting conversation in the SEC. After their win over Florida, we all asked the question: “Should they be in the play-off?”. We questioned Ohio State’s credentials. We argued to death about Notre Dame prior to the Irish getting the green kicked out of them by Clemson in the ACC Championship Game. Sadly, the Aggies didn’t go the Play-Off – which they arguably deserved ahead 7-0 Ohio State – and there we remained asking more questions. So in 2021, will they finally succeed on reaching Everest? OFFENSE Although he had his issues in his game against Vanderbilt, Kellen Mond came on as quite the leader in 2020 for the Aggies, finishing

News came through yesterday that Myles Brennan – the heir to Joe Burrow before he was hurt in 2020 – injured a shoulder and will need a season-ending operation this year, too. Of course, this is sad news for Tiger Nation – but what does it do to LSU’s QB Depth? Now that Brennan’s injured, and last year’s replacement QB TJ Finley transferred to Auburn (in an effort to fight for the job when current incumbent Bo Nix leaves), LSU’s has a real problem with depth. There’s no denying that the job is basically in the hands of Max Johnson – who started LSU’s last two games – if he doesn’t get injured, too. Johnson had a pretty good set
