We earned a ton of respect beating a hot UGA and got a Sugar Bowl win out of it. That momentum led to resigning several big time players. There’s still a lot of momentum going into next year. Sorry for pushing the moral victory shite. The bigger loss IMO will be Chambliss missing on the waiver, but I’m bracing for him not getting it. Just got to find another gamer at quarterback who fits the system.

The missed tackle by Perkins and the doink by Lucas are shitty.

Exactly. And may have forced a fumble or INT in the process.

The fact we have a reasonable claim to be upset at a 52 yard doink is pretty wild. I’m so glad we got him back next year

Hopefully Indiana or Oregon beats them 52-0.

Going into this season it was clear Lane spent big on offense to try to correct what happened last season with an elite defense and an offense which shite the bed.

Pete (and Wies) getting this team to the final 4 is a miracle.

Based on early portal signings, it's clear Pete is well aware we need more talent on defense. Still need a safety.

On offense, we still need pieces but we are bringing a lot back.

10-2 next year would be fantastic and get us back into the playoffs

We just don’t have enough talent on defense this year to win a championship. Miami could get 5 yards every carry and it gassed our defense. Watching Harris laying on the field when Beck ran for a TD was telling. It’s insane this team went this far when we had to pretty much replace the roster last year.

Love these players and as frustrated as I am with the 3rd and golding defense bama warned us about, he has been incredible and I'm looking forward to him leading us in the future.

Man our secondary was so bad. It didn't matter if we rushed 3 or 5. Miami had WRs running open every play.

True but make beck make a pass under pressure. Even if it's an easy one he may miss. Can't give him all day

I was hoping for another tipped ball by the DL. Perkins was close to picking off that one. Just wasn't meant to be. Helluva game. Helluva season. We're going to be good again next year and pushing for a Playoff spot again in November.

This team overachieved to even the biggest homers expectations

Making it to the final 4 is wild.

Sucks it had to end but I never dreamed we would get this far with this team.

Maybe the best duo in OM history, it hurts seeing them walk off like this. Really hope we get to watch 5 & 6 do it again next year.

One feeds the other. He doesn’t trust the secondary, so he’s covering over the top more than giving up the small stuff. And even then, our safeties are still the fricking worst in the SEC and cover a fricking well covered tight end instead of the guy in your actual zone.

The good news is we have a ton of talent returning next year with Lacy, Chambliss (I'm betting $ he gets the waiver), and will have an upgraded defense.

For a "rebuilding year" with a sh*t ton of distractions, we had a pretty good season.
