re: Honest assessment of your season

quote:

I predicted 7-5, and the final tally was 5-7, so the short answer is the season went worse than I thought it would.

I also thought 6-6 or 7-5 at best.


The good:
- Mertz turned out to be about as good a QB as we could hope for
- Back to trolling Tennessee no matter what
- Actually took care of Vandy without much worry (has been tough lately)
- This was a very young team. We played a ton of freshman and sophomores and found some pretty good ones, particularly on offense

The bad:
- Major coaching snafus cost us in a few games: FSU, Missouri, Arkansas. South Carolina shouldn't have been close.
- Kentucky wasn't good enough to work us like they did this year
- Utah should have been a win. They were decimated by injury. Napier just didn't have the team ready or confident

The ugly:
- Schedule next year is nearly as brutal as this year's. Luckily a few of our tougher opponents have some roster turnover that will help. Daniels gone and we get LSU at home. No Travis Jordan.
- Napier needs to hold recruiting. If we lose ground he doesn't even fill a Ron Zook role in the worst case scenario
