If they don't have 17 penalties, drop a routine pass or miss a FG (uncharacteristically), they would have won last year. Hopefully, new staff focuses on fundamentals, discipline and rebuilds an attacking/aggressive nature. Not sure where it will end up, but there was talent enough to have a better product than we saw last year. Here's to hope.

That’s the hope. What’s past is past. I have my opinions after seeing all of 2022 and it arrives to the same place even if Alabama did enough to make the CFP. Georgia had the right roster mix to win the natty given the state of play across the nation. The only team with the offense to threaten them had a soft defense against the run and not enough WR depth to absorb one injury and another protecting their draft stock.
