The 2015 year, Petrino was looking at winning the SEC. Bert had all the talent in place but Bert farted it away. Petrino would have won 11-13 games with that team
Hard to really gauge these type of hypotheticals because Petrino probably wouldn’t have Alex Collins in the backfield, for example.
Not sure our defense was good enough to win that many games in 2015. But that offense was the best we’ve had since the Petrino years for sure. We definitely should have won more than 8 with all the NFL players on the team in 2014-15.

What happened against Toledo and TTU is what I'm wondering. That TTU defense was FCS tier, they got shredded by LSU in the Texas Bowl and we had a much worse offense than yall did

If Alex Collins didn't come then Petrino would get another good running that would be close to his equal. Remember he recruited Davis and Williams.
Our defense wasn't good but still better than Bert's last two years. That offense was explosive enough that they could outlast most defenses. So the defense was tasked with contain and that is what they did.
I will list three games that should be wins Toledo, Texas Tech and Mississippi State. The state loss cost us a sugar Bowl bid. Bert and some players complained a bout playing in Little Rock but yet lost to a rent a win in Toledo. I went to the Texas Tech game and Brandon Allen played scared and short handed his passes. Thus our offense stalled and we lost by 11. That was still a 10 win plus team.
