Offense:
QBs: Milroe is waaaaaay better than he was last year. You can see lot of improvements in all areas. I felt encouraged by the play calling throughout the game for Milroe. I understand why Saban kept him in the game little longer, but I would've loved to see Buchner getting little more playing time to get comfortable with offense. I can clearly see why the competition at QB was tight... All are very good. The future is bright at the position. We shouldn't be quick to say Milroe is the QB for the season though. He is still making predetermined reads, but he'll get better. Buchner is really pushing to get the starting job and I think we'll know lot next weekend.
RBs/OL: I'm not concerned about the running game last night. I thought OL did okay job protecting Milroe and I felt like the play calling was little basic when it comes to the running game. I think they were trying so hard to not give anything away and they were focusing on deep passes to make Texas respect that forr next week.
WRs: What can I say? The route running, the decision making is whole lot better. It definitely was BOB's scheme that handicapped the offense as a whole. Suddenly, we don't have any question marks. I think the separation part is good, but it'll get tougher as we start to play better teams.
TEs: This is my favorite part. We have several real good TEs that can do serious damage on the field. This is first time in long time we don't have an OL playing a TE. We are very versatile at this position.
Coaching: Rees did a heck of a job coaching up the team last night. He called a good game plan, but he has some room to grow though.
Defense:
DLs/LBs- I'm not sure about this, but I would give them a solid 7 with a room to improve. They will get better as the season goes along. They were very aggressive and making less mistakes. Nobody rarely was out of place. Lawson, Turner, and company did heck of a job getting to QBs/RBs at time.
CB/Safeties: Depth is a concern. Something to monitor throughout the season.
Coaching: Steele is a huge upgrade over Golding. You can see the difference in how they call the game, on 3rd down and how they blitz. If you watch Ole miss game, Golding is still doing the same thing he did at Alabama. Nothing new to see. I'm concerned about Steele and how he make adjustments in the game. The drive that MTSU had on Alabama, I was wondering where was the adjustments was.
Overall assessment: Do I feel good about this team? yes. Am I concerned about some things? yes. I think we'll beat Texas easily...
