Shows the slim differences between starting 0-2 or 2-0. Sometimes not a big difference between 13-1 and 9-4.

Similar to 2007 and 2012, it took the 2002 team awhile to hit their stride. It seemed like they were just a machine after the Michael Johnson play against Auburn. Didn't play a close game after that.

Yeah that 02 team is one of the 3 or 4 best teams we've ever had and didn't really start rolling until late November.

The running game is much more important than the QB.
Stafford's best wins were on the back of a successful ground game.
He matured as a quarterback as he was walking out the door to the NFL. He might have only had 2 games in his college career where he carried the offense to victory without the ground game to support him (and one of those was the bowl win against Michigan State right before he got the #1 pick).

Completely disagree. Look at the Vikings. Peterson was always a monster but the team wasn't ever very good until Favre came in.
Barry Sanders was as good as anyone ever but the Lions were never that good because they sucked at QB for most of the last 70 years

Ok. The running game is far more important in college.
Clemson had 33 rushing TDs.
Bama had 33 the year before.
Ohio State had 41 the year before.
Florida State had 42 the year before.
Throwing the football is secondary to being able to run the football when the other team wants to prevent it. If you throw too much in college, you will pay a price.
There is an efficiency in the NFL that makes it different.

If we're running for 250 yards and 3 tds then those numbers would be fine with me.

It had a rain delay, but it wasn't a muddy mess.
