We are lacking in a handful of areas no doubt. I remain concerned about the inconsistent and uncharacteristically sloppy play.
The longer a streak of success goes on, though, the harder it is to get players to respect and adhere to your DNA traits. "Assume Nothing" is the slogan this year - Kirby was already sensing this creeping into the team.
Bama wasn't a loss. It was as Saban described this morning - a thunderbolt. Any assumptions of continued success within the locker room have been destroyed and this is when Kirby is at his absolute best.
I'm not predicting any blowout or thrashing of Auburn. It may not even be impressive. But we will win, and we will recognize our DNA traits again today and we will be on a fresh new trajectory. We will look like a Kirby Smart football team today.
LFG.
