re: I wouldn’t be surprised if we have a better record with a worse team next year

I think our record will be about the same, but we'll be happier about it. We got off to a bad start in SEC play this year. To the team's and coaches credit though, though righted the ship.

As much as I've been negative on Moorhead, I do hope/think he's gotten a feel for SEC play and competition. As a first year coach in this league, there are probably a lot of adjustments and a different learning curve.

Also, Auburn should be a bit down next year, who knows about LSU, and aTm will still be weak at the line of scrimmage (though they do have an easy schedule).
