How Far We Have Come

[Matt2496]

What Heupel has managed to create in year 2 is nothing short of miraculous (although it's not a miracle, it's good coaching). We just beat a Saban-coached Bama team with a Heisman winner at QB. Let that sink in for a second.

It's hard to fathom that just 2 years ago, we were a 3 win team and lost 6 straight games in blowout fashion (even got blown out by Kentucky in Neyland). Also, considering how thin we were with all of the transfers after Pruitt got fired due to NCAA violations, I was thinking that this would be a 4 year rebuild at a minimum. I was wrong. We can now compete with and beat elite teams with elite talent.

Suddenly I like our chances against Georgia. This team has proven that they can hang with anyone.

This is a magical season. Savor every moment of it.
