It feels like we're in football Groundhog Day right now.

Every season, there is an early season matchup against a small school wherein the opponent is the trendy upset pick. Cincinnati (twice) and NC State are recent examples. We always dominate those games then fall apart the moment the SEC schedule begins.

I liked what I saw of our offensive talent, and I was impressed with the pace we kept throughout the game. Still, it's an impossibly young team, and I expect them to drive me crazy.

As an aside, Kim and I saw the actual singer perform Rocky Top at the Grand Ole Opry Saturday. That was very cool. Kim has video up on FB if you're interested.
