I took a few people off ignore. Went back pages again. No info. I may drive to the Star tomorrow @butchna
I said we should win 6-7, but that any prolonged significant injuries could cause us to drop to 4-8...but we did and still won 7.What expert had us winning 3-4 games?
Outside of a few super negas on here, I never saw that prediction. Most intelligent folks knew we still had a very good offensive coach, coming off a 3-SEC-win team, a favorable schedule, and despite big losses - still a good bit of talent (top 20 composite team talent).
Vegas had us at 6-6.5 wins and they put their money where their mouth is. SP+ had us at 6.9 wins. 247's national writer had us at 6-6. The 4 local writers had us at 6-6 to 7-5.
I don't get this notion we were expected to be trash going into the season. This was essentially a 6-6 team last year. Nobody with a sane mind predicted us to take such a big drop off from (lol) cornbread.
