Lose a few SEC games and Johnny Football will be forgotten.
We heard the same talk last year, A&M will suffer in the SEC...yeah yeah...the other thing is, the schedules are made in advance...a lot of our schedule is out of whack b/c we changed conferences so they have to scramble to get open dates with other teams. Bama has been in the SEC for years so the only teams they needed to add were A&M and Mizzu.

I laugh when I hear this "schedule talk". Last year we played Florida for our first game. All the "experts" will marvel at how Florida was able to contain JF, they fail to mention our first game was cancelled due to a hurricane. So it was actually our first game of the year. It was Florida's 3rd game. It was JF's first game ever in college, first game ever in our offense, so I'm no expert but I seriously doubt he had the full playbook at his knowledge and disposal, like later in the year.

Like I said earlier, hopefully we have a good backup LOL!
