re: Sugar Bowl Alabama 31 | Oklahoma 45 FINAL

Though this sucks a little perspective is in order. Both 2012 and 2013 seasons on paper should have been major rebuilding jobs. 2012 replaced a good chunk of the 2011 defense, 2013 had to replace what was left of the 11 D plus 3/5 starters on the OL. Assuming Cyrus Pagan and Haha get the correct advice and come back (Cyrus and Pagan definitely) next years team should resemble the 09 or 11 teams. I mean we went into this year without a solid power back. We found one tonight. And the young guys in the secondary that took their lumps this season will be the veterans of the next few years. And if all else fails we still are recruiting well. It sucks but we aren't going to win the national championship every year.
