Nico Iamaleava and No. 15 Tennessee is a problem in SEC with this

folks Tennessee might be a problem this year um I don't I don't take any pride in saying it but my goodness did they ever stomp a mud hole in Chattanooga and walk it dry I realize that we're at the part of the schedule well where we say well I know it's you know that's going to be what it is for the next couple of weeks well I know it's just you know for Oklahoma I well I know it's just Temple you know with Missouri I well I know it's just Murray State you know so forth so on with Alabama it's going to be Western Kentucky with oh State it's going to be akan ain't a whole lot of people playing somebody this week right we know this Georgia played Clemson and even Dabo Sweeney had to say that was that was butt kicking they they up one side down the other we'll see what LSU USC provides us Notre Dame A&M you know we'll get from there but I'm looking at this Tennessee score of [Music] 69-3 and folks it don't feel like it was that close look Nico IAM malava did not even play the second half 22 of 28 314 yards three TDS no oh excuse me one sack taken and then we got Dylan Samson who picked up right where he left off he had like 133 yards against Iowa in the bowl game last year 12 for 124 with three TDS in this one and I I mean all over the yard with this because hypo's offense is one that scores and scores and scores and it doesn't matter if he's gonna put Gast and More in there they're still going to apparently go get those buckets 69-3 is not an accident and again folks are going to say RJ but it's Chattanooga all right take a look at this Chattanooga went eight and5 last year in 2023 right it's not terrible it's not great it's not terrible it's pretty it's actually pretty decent it's decent they played Alabama last year at Alabama you know what score was 66-1 what I'm saying is if you think that Alabama was good last year and they were they beat Georgia in the SEC Championship game but you also don't think that they're great they lost to Michigan right in the college football playoff the Rose Bowl they lost by double digits to Texas they damn near lost to Auburn then I think you're right where you got Tennessee which is where I'm telling you they are a problem are they a Georgia siiz problem hell no Georgia is the only Georgia size problem in the South we're still waiting to find out what it is with Ohio State here but right now it feels like Georgia is running through people until such a time as they stopped running through people now when they get the SEC part of their schedule they're going to see a different level of competition because the ACC can't hold the sec's jock right now like that's that that that that's neither Vanderbilt Vanderbilt we got we got both of the SEC programs on the board from Tennessee for the first time in a dog's age all right like look man Vanderbilt beat Virginia Tech that ain't no sorry ACC program that was a sexy pick to make the playoff and by the way they was up 17 to zero at one point won the damn thing in overtime even though the kicker had a chance to win it in regulation couldn't make a 43 yard so you're talking about Vanderbilt beating up on Virginia Tech my goodness Frank Beamer what would he say about that and then you got to take into account both of the top ranked teams in the ACC number 10 Florida State and number 14 Clemson both took L's I understand that Florida State took an L in conference but it's to Georgia Tech Georgia Tech won seven games last year Georgia Tech's a good football team but they are not supposed to beat Florida State on a neutral site in Ireland and then Clemson it didn't even look like those boys got off the bus half the time they were just getting Molly whopped at the line of scrimmage K kumnick could do nothing Garrett riy could do nothing they had the measure those boys from the moment they stepped into it the city of Atlanta that's just what it is and now I'm looking at Tennessee who comes to Oklahoma September 21 and I'm going oh oh goodness me because they got they got they got a ball game we'll see what they got against North Carolina State because I don't think North Carolina state is anything like Chattanooga but when you're beating people 69 to3 to open the season you are making a statement Arkansas made a statement they beat uapb 70 to Z okay I'm talking about SEC program s that so far have scored at least 30 points in every damn game they played Vanderbilt scored 30 plus Georgia scored 30 plus Oklahoma scored 50 plus this a Tennessee team scored 60 plus we got Arkansas scoring 70 like we'll see what Miami and Florida has for us you know and A&M Notre Dame but everybody seems to be putting up points in that league and if Tennessee is scoring like they're scoring yeah we're going to have they're going be a problem for everybody they face and that's why I wanted to do this segment 35 first downs for Tennessee nine of 14 on third down for Tennessee 718 total yards and 300 on the ground Jiminy Christmas um we got some things to figure out if you are not in the SEC and if you are in the SEC the top half of that that's I mean look Vanderbilt is the bottom that's the worst team in the SEC and the worst team in the SEC beat what might be the third fourth fifth best team in the ACC what we doing with this dog like that's that's the part that I'm really trying to get at this and we're in a wild world now because not only is Tennessee looking like Alabama last year but Vanderbilt is winning against Power five opponents and quiet as it is kept Iowa put up 40 now they put up 40 against Illinois State and again I understand it's Illinois State part of the schedule but 40 from Iowa like they're so touchy about putting up 40 points at Iowa that they didn't want to put in the postgame notes that they sent out like they didn't excuse me they didn't want to put out the last time they scored 40 or more right they just want to say that Tim Lester's off to the best start by an offensive coordinate in in a very long time and I'm going yeah all right let's not be so touchy about putting up points but when you let K mcnamer sling it you put up 345 yards in second half and you score all 40 points in the second half because they were trailing this game 60 You Got Something Brewing at Iowa so we're living in in the Twilight world man but it's all I say that even as we're going into a year where everybody knows we have a 12 team playoff for the first time we have a new SEC we have a new ACC we have a new Big 10 we have a new Big 12 we have the dissolution of the Pack 12 Iowa scoring 40 vanderbel getting wins Tennessee looking like a monster it's going to be one hell of a entertaining season because nothing so far has gone absolutely positively according to plan save Georgia is saying hey we're gonna make sure that the world keeps spinning as we're just gonna go sit on Clemson's chest like a 900 pound gorilla and remind y'all just what it means to be at the top of the SEC again the last team to beat Georgia is Alabama and before that the last team to beat Georgia is Alabama both of those Alabama teams had Nick sain as the head coach and that's not Shan to Kay and deor but he is not coach Savin who raised Kirby Smart up as defensive coordinator and then watch him go to Georgia to basically s take over the role of nope I'm the captain now this belongs to me tchala I am your king now that's what Georgia out here doing dog and when akan is scoring as many points on Ohio State in the first damn quarter as Clemson could muster for the whole damn game yeah there's lots to think about there because we're in the Style part of the schedule you you're not going to look at these programs and make any drastic judgments uh based on winning and losing you're going to make drastic judgments based on how many points you scored how efficiently you scored them and who you allowed to score on you and then we're going to compare akan to Clemson because that's just what we do we're gonna say Clemson went to a neutral site with Georgia even though I don't think that Atlanta is anything like a neutral site for Georgia I think it's just a damn home game that said Ohio state is at the shoe playing against Joe Morehead Zips and they're not that good and defensively they didn't look that great at Ohio State even though Jeremiah Smith got on the board pretty quick we're gonna have more to say about this a little bit later on I I really will but right now I just wanted to get up there and I wanted to let everybody know that yeah Tennessee is GNA be a problem that you're G to have to you g you're gonna have to deal with because if Tennesse is the fifth best team in the SEC excuse me the sixth best team in the SC excuse me the seventh best team in the SEC see you see what I'm doing there you see what I'm doing there then you got a problem you you you did up one side and down the other and this might be the year which yeah we might see three four SEC teams get into a 12 team playoff if they continue to do stuff like this but then they got to play each other right and that's where we expect the leveling to begin because we still hell we we're still waiting on a couple of teams to show us what they really got and what they really working with but Tennessee is not one of them they're going to come to Oklahoma loaded for bear and they're going to be lathered up and Oklahoma's going to have this hole at R tackle called Spencer Brown like it might it might might be get rough for for your boy over here but if you want to stick around and see what it's about subscribe to the channel we're doing the live show a little bit later on doing some ingame stuff from here on out but I want to get out here talk a little bit about what we got going on with Tennessee Volunteers and frankly uh get back to this afternoon where we're going to get see Dylan rol put on we get to see what Texas is showing against Colorado State we're going to see if Oklahoma State can finish it out there's a lot of football left to play
