Even when you have the most talent, it is hard to get up and ready to go week in and week out. You will have a couple of games where it seems it is stacked against you and you are moving in slow motion and they are not. A team you should blow out but now you are fighting for your life in the last few minutes.
Think of the USC game last year and how close that was to a loss. Or, when we beat them when North made a crazy catch. That was a top 10 SC team that year. To go undefeated takes some fortune to make it happen. You can win an NC with one loss.
This team like any other will need some good fortune to win it all. They could lose twice and it would still be a great season. No one can predict injuries but great teams with depth will find a way to win. I will reserve judgement till the end of the year but a 10-11 win season after all we have been thru would be very enjoyable. Don't forget where we came from.
