I told the rant that yes they did lose nine players to the draft but they were ahead by so many points against teams in the AAC that they were able to let the backups get a lot of snaps over the last couple of years.
I looked at the roster and they had redshirt seniors, juniors, sophomores and freshmen. They able to replace what they lost with good players. They are a power 5 team in a G5 conference.

We won the game, which is all that matters at the end of the day.
That said, our secondary was a huge liability. Similar to the Texas and A&M games last year, a competent QB would have made us pay. That’s the difference between beating a good team and beating an elite team. We won’t play Bama nearly as good as we did last year if our secondary looks like it did yesterday.
Offensively, we miss Dominique Johnson in the running game. Pass pro is also an issue, and WRs seemed to be having trouble getting separation at times.
Like I said, we won the game, but lots of chinks in the armor. We played very bad last year game one and went on to have a great year. We played much better game one this year compared to last, so hopefully we continue that same trajectory.
