We won't bear Bama. I hope to keep it close going into the 4th and no injuries.
Stoops proves he can recruit and the win against USC shows he can beat SEC talent. We may not win 5 SEC games this season but if we can win 3 then that proves he has us moving forward. Hell, 2 wins in the SEC is equal to 5 in the B12 or acc.
He can't help he is developing a team in the hardest setting. To lose and grow is fine and that seems like what we are doing. Growth can be painful. Fight thru and grow.
I'm starting to have a lot more faith. Join me.
Can't do it for the following reasons.
First, USC does not have SEC talent. They admit as much.
Second, 2 wins in the SEC does not equate to more wins outside the SEC. We lost to So Miss. SEC affiliation, wear and tear, etc had nothing to do with us losing to them. There is ZERO indication we would post a winning record in any P5 conference.
Finally, I don't see the growth. This is year four....."losing & growing" are year 1 & 2 excuses.
To review the bidding,
Loss to a CUSA team with a HC and OC in their first game at our house.
Helpless, hapless, hopeless blowout loss to a pedestrian UF (struggled w/FCS UMASS).
Gave up 35 points in one half to one of the worst FBS teams in the nation.
Defeated an historically bad SC team.....barely.
