Because we are a school of engineers, architects, and veterinarians, I would like to throw out some actual DATA for y'all to chew on regarding our football program.
I am not here to say we don't have areas of weakness that need to get better - I'm not blind. However, I think that many of us are prisoners of the moment, and need to take a step back and look at performance using numbers instead of emotion.
Also remember that the ultimate stat is on the last line - 4 vs. 7 vs. 8 (so far).
Notes: 2020 was weird, and lacked 2 games. Also an all-SEC schedule. Also obviously we have another game left in this season.
With that, here we go:
