What a difference a year makes

October 5th, 2014: the day after we demolished LSU 41-7, the most complete domination of a ranked opponent by an AU team since the 2010 SECCG.

We were a solid consensus #2 in the major polls, behind the only team that had beaten us in our 15 previous games (and that was in the final seconds of the BCSCG), and had double-digit first place votes in both the AP and the Coaches.

We were headed into a matchup with the #3 team in the country, knowing a win would almost certainly move us to #1 in all the rankings.

The average score of our first 5 games was 42-14. Four of those wins were over teams that would play in bowls that season, three of which were P5 conference programs.

Gustav's overall record as an HC was 26-5, including a 17-2 mark on the Plains. He had won 23 of his previous 24 regular season contests.
