He also lost to Wake Forest, Vandy, and South Carolina in that same season...
"Signature wins" as a heavy underdog are almost always followed by heartbreaking defeats. That = roller coaster ride of playing for "emotional" coaches. We experienced this CONSTANTLY for the first decade under Jackie Sherrill.
I'm not excusing the fact that Mullen hasn't found a way to win ANY of these games. We've snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in a bunch of them. LSU 09, Auburn and Arky 10, Auburn and USCe 11, etc...
Thing is...Mullen is consistent. He beats teams he should beat. I'm not saying that way is better or worse, but I prefer it after experiencing the other way with Sherrill...although I would have loved at least one of those "signature" games.
