I don’t always find Doug Mathews to be the end all be all but today he made a lot of sense on his Big Orange Sunday show.
He said a HS football coach that he admires a lot coaches at a smaller classification and his approach to games made him look at our situation a little differently.
He said we needed to put the SEC into two classifications. The top one is of course Bama, Ga, Lsu, Auburn, Florida and Texas A&M( I don’t agree with him on this one)
He said the rest go into a smaller classification.
The hs coach told him the only thing he tries to do when playing a upper classification game is just survive the game, play a lot of people for developmental purposes and limit injures.
With that said we are now with the exception of the Bama game ready to play teams in the same Classification and imo it’s really nut cutting time to evaluate this program.
There is no denying the last 7 games have been one of the worst stretches in our programs history.
During that stretch we have been outscored 56-117 going 0-3(I included BYU in our Classification) while also losing a game to a lower classification(Ga State).
We have 6 games left against our “classification”. We simply must see progress there before we have any thoughts or even discussions about ever being in bigger classification.
