Everybody agrees Ok, Fla and Ark were all games we SHOULD have won. It was only due to 3 meltdowns that they were losses. I blame coaching on the Fla and Ok games clearly and Arky was just a team meltdown. Think about winning those games we SHOULD have won and that's how close this team is 10-1...and being one of the nations elite right now.
Butch gets flack, as he should for those games. Some are content with being on an upswing and there are others who were used to being ranked top 5 in the country and being a national powerhouse and still hold on to those years...and look at the yr's since Fulmer as simply a bad stretch but that our rightful place is "elite".
There should be a happy medium somewhere in there. But you could rightly say this team could very well be 10-1. Ok and Fla were right there. We just blew those games. I'll give Arky that game as them just winning...and Bama too, even though we led in the 4th quarter.
