in the next two weeks, how good of a team we are and where we stand as a program. Has such heavy reliance on the portal in recruiting paid off or is it a house of cards?
Alabama and LSU have dominated the West for the last two decades. If we want to lay claim to being an elite and nationally relevant program, we need to beat them—and at least break even in our games against them every year.
Lose both these games and we are back to the same ole, same ole, a mediocre mid-level program that doesn’t really scare anybody.
I’m not sure we have recruited well enough under Kiffin to challenge these two teams at the top. But I guess we will find out soon. As they say, “that’s why they play the games.”
