100%. After the LSU game, the team hit its stride.

ULM 58-7 - a cupcake, but we destroyed them
Ms State - 38-14 - score isn't indicative of how we manhandled them all game.
Arkansas - 56-3 - we didn't look like a top 5 team in this game?
Ole Miss - 40-29 - again, I don't think the score indicates how in control we were
Vandy - 23-16 - this is when the injury bug really set in

Going into UGA, we were a dark horse playoff contender.

I'd also add that this was when Vandy turned a corner. Vandy then put up 38 against Ole Miss and 45 against UT just a few weeks later. I literally didn't recognize half of the plays run by Vandy in the first half.

I'm sorry but we should not sugar coat last year. It's was bad. Very bad.

Arkansas was beat before the game started. Our best overall game

Miss st was great in the first half, terrible in the second

Ole miss was a decent win but our defense got killed

Won LSU but was lucky. Didn't even score a TD

Texas AM? LOL

Vandy was driving at the end of the game to tie us. Vandy.

UGA - biggest cluster frick ever

Bama - defense saved us the first half but faltered in the second. Didn't even have a first down till the 3rd quarter. Never had a chance

Oklahoma? Absolutely man handles and beat the shite out of us. It was embarrassing.

I was at the game. Ole Miss was marching up and down the field all over us. We couldn't stop them until the 4th quarter. That was our best game of the year offensively. We were definitely not in control of that game until the very very end.
