1. The team is not good on the road. The offense is clearly an issue, and that is likely exacerbated by a hostile road crowd. 
 

2. The team may play up and down to competition. This is common of young teams 

We have had zero home games against like or better competition, which I believe might be where we see the team perform its best. The game where the team performed the best was a semi-home game against like or better competition (OU). 
 

If we get past MState, I like our chances against Vandy, Arkansas and TAMU at home. The obvious challenge will be UGA on the road. 

Every game is going to be a fight, but this defense can keep us in games. Sagarin's model (which is representative of all of the "computer" models) has us favored against every team left on our schedule other than UGA.

Don't over think it.  The offense stinks. Vandy, Arkansas, and A&M will be bigger tests than Florida, Kentucky or MSU.

We have not had a full body of conditions to say how the offense will perform in every situation.

What other team in the country doesn’t play a P4 team at home until November 1st?

We have had one game that people were satisfied with the offense- which just so happened to be the one game we were wearing orange against a P4 team. 
 

It’s a possibility. Of course, everyone is really enjoying crapping on the team so it’s not a possibility anyone wants to consider

Btw, most teams in the SEC this year are considerably less dominant on the road than at home

Getting a healthy Cedric Baxter back would help tremendously…
