Stop it!
This was always a rebuilding year and we've having to deal with the "Pruitt firing cliff" (i.e. basically an empty class). And then just to top it off, a slew of injuries that crippled us.
We have the #2 QB from the '23 class starting next season. We have a lot of young talent.
Heupel has greatly exceeded expectations given the situation he inherited. But I knew this was going to happen --- he was going to have a great Year 2 with guys like Hooker, Tillman, and Hyatt, and then people were going to panic when Year 3 was a bit of a down year. But we're still an 8-win team if we can win next week.
