re: Honest assessment of your season

I had 8-4 for us (check the preseason prediction thread if you don't believe me). I expected to take a step back this year, and my expectation was matched. I thought we'd lay an egg against Florida, get wiped by a vengeful Bama, and fall against Georgia at home. I also assumed we'd lose one out of the rest of our SEC opponents. I didn't expect our losses would be as severe as they were, but it is what it is and counts all the same at this point.

Defense was abysmal. There's no excuse for it to be so bad. Offense, eh... about what I expected with Milton taking snaps. Our o-line looked weak and our receivers haunted us with butterfingers. The team looked soft all around. If Heupel's serious about winning, he needs to address those issues. Can't have lazy tackling and blocking and expect to beat the best.
