Are we as good as the ‘22 team?

Even Ohio State lost to a bad team by 3 points. However, you're not supposed to get blown out by bad teams if you're any good. The 2022 team got blown out by a bad team. That eliminates them in any conversation.

That same South Carolina squad went on the road and beat Clemson the next week. They beat 2 NY6 teams back to back. They had some bad losses, but they put it together for at least a couple of weeks. The how and the why seems to still be a question mark regarding that loss.

2022 beats 2024 by 17+. 2022 would have been a terrible matchup for 2024.

2022 team was blown out by a mediocre South Carolina team. The 2024 team was blown out by the eventual national champs in the playoffs.

2024 was better. We didn't face plant last year the way we did in 2022.

I usually value your posts but this year’s loss to Arkansas has ended up feeling worse than the ‘22 USCe loss.

All we had to do was give fulmer a sabbatical

We are better defensively. We put more points on the board in '22 and had a better deep threat capability than we do now. We did put a stomp on Clemson in the Bowl Game also. Two very good teams.

They put it together because they benefited from receiving our signals from Michigan.

I would have loved to see us play South Carolina this year. I think a lot of folks think we'd walk them but I am not buying that at all. Their coach is a dweeb and a douche but that has nothing to do with his team. They are certainly a 2nd tier contender in this league.
