MS7, I'll get smoked for this, but I think the schedule set up well for you cats....

1 - caught LSU early in BR, they've no QB, & no HC... squeaked it out
2 - got up 21-0 on TOs to AU at home in the first nine minutes... squeaked it out

I think it was around this time yall hit #1.... not sure...

3 - struggled at UK... squeaked it out
4 - struggled vs AR... squeaked it out
5 - avoided a bad loss at Bammer... didn't hurt yall much...
6 - smoked Vandy
7 - caught "Good Bo"... like Bammer did....

I think it was a combination of:
a) poor secondary
b) questionable D subs in certain situations
c) no "game breaker" at RB
d) no dominating OL
e) poor ST
f) inconsistent passing game
g) hard headed coaching

just my thoughts...

we did catch a good schedule from a timing standpoint but Bama wasn't good enough to hand us a bad loss. played our worst game of the year offensively and still almost came back. Bama was fools gold all year and it showed against Ohio State. We play Bama at home or a neutral field and we would've yeller jammer hammered that ass so bad it would make a bear blush. Bama wasn't that good this year and won't be next either.

Hack, I dig ya bro... but the discussion had nothing to do with "Bammer V MSU"...

It was about MSU and their season...

Now, if you'd like to turn it into a "UA at MSU 2015" discussion, I'd be happy to...




but, it won't be for free.

No question that the schedule set up well for us, but we absolutely dominated both of these games.

We had the exact same number of turnovers as Auburn did, yet we led by double digits for over 75% of the game and beat them by 15......that ain't squeaking it out.

And yea, we only beat LSU by 5 and we had to fend off a hail mary as time expired, so I guess you can make the case that we squeaked it out. But we absolutely dominated their asses up to that point in the game. We led by 24 in the 4th quarter and by 18 with 1:55 left in the game. Then we made the mistake of putting our scrubs in the game which led to a fluke turnover that allowed them to get within a score. We absolutely whipped their ass for 58 minutes of that game.....we just took our foot off the gas too early.

Dude, I don't disagree with anything you said....

but all of that goes both ways, buddy....

I (also) wish my guys would "finish" teams better (than they have been).... it could've been a big year for an inexperienced Bammer team.

I wish we could get to that level. Came close, but not there.
