Only time will tell, but before CJP we were 0-15 against SEC West teams. Under Pruitt's tenure we are 2-2.
Also, to-date under CJP, we are 2-6 against ranked teams. He was 2-3 his first year against ranked teams. While he is 0-3 this year, the losses came against #9 Florida, #3 Georgia, and #1 Alabama. Prior to his hire we were 7-34 against ranked teams the previous 10 seasons.
While the jury is still out and I would like to see much better results, it is hard not to argue that we have improved and are at least more competitive under his watch.
