.RJ Young.FOX Sports National College Football Analyst.In the initial period of the 16-team SEC, the game has actually presented to be much more challenging than our experts thought it could be.

This while the Dawgs have actually certainly not participated in a comprehensive video game on offense, self defense or even exclusive teams this season.But succeeding must be valued, and losing must be disciplined.
