Thought about this a little today…
When I hear “VOLS haven’t had any big games/tests,” my response is “you gotta be sh*tting me!” (e.g we played Pitt, UF, Bama and LSU… all teams we had long loosing streaks to)
Then I thought about our team- young men who by and large only “owned“ a year or two of those loosing streaks.
More importantly (beyond “big” games defined by those outside the program),thought about some of the turmoil those players who’ve been around for 4+tears have been through (coaching changes,etc). To say this team hasn’t been tested is stupid - credit to our coaches that our team approaches each game as “big,” regardless of bowl or ranking implications.
Go VOLS!
