Agree. Pretty close to being an awesome season. Next year will be worse, the same, or better. 2 out of 3 of those aren't bad.

Agreed!

The expectations going into the season were not this high. A few things broke right for us and we finished well above where we expected.

It's a bunch of grown men in here who can't handle the fact that they changed their expectations or ran their mouth and now they are living with it.


YOY improvement. In the real world that's all you can ask for.

9 wins was my ceiling going in, so I am pleased. Just dont like the finish.

I like that perspective. Reed is still rawI am optimistic what we can achieve with continued improvement from QB position.

We haven't had a game 1 starter at qb return to start game 1 the following season since Mond.

I remember Clemson always being on the verge of being close then had a way of "Clemsoning". Have to start somewhere and reducing the Novemeber collapse from 5 games to 2 games is on the right track. Need to continue the trend and hopefully go through some minor growing pains of learning how to be consistently successful.

Yes, better than expected (personally had us at 9 wins at best). But since we caught a hot streak and all the other teams didn't live up to pre season expectations, it set up a false narrative a bit on our capabilities.

Could see issues vs run all season long (w explosives runs by opponents, misfits by LBs, not setting the edge by anyone) and too times were Marcel was sailing the ball (apparently few remember how KC was rescuing him earlier in the year).

Losing Moss hurt yet again this year and inconsistent OL was problematic all yr long (penalties and stupid errors still plague this team).

Elko could even coach better next yr and think this team will have a tougher season w fewer wins (lack of experience to fill gaps and tougher sched).

OU and tu got thru their seasons w young OLs who improved by EOY and we'll find out can we do that next year or we will have huge downfall.
