I enjoyed reading your post and agree with most of what you wrote other than the above line…hahaha no chance they ever become elite

That is a bit shocking honestly.

So in other words, we need to start off aggressive by rushing more than 3 and rattle him early.

It's an absolutely gorgeous beach with amazing views from the cliffs. But if you're not prepared for what's below after hiking down it can certainly be an interesting experience :lol:

Hahaha better luck next year ags

ND far better team than Bama.

Maybe, maybe not. I guess we will never know…

Obviously, yes. A coach that has won back to back titles, of course.

No.

The grit to pull out that win should serve us well down the line

My thoughts exactly, especially considering the upcoming Aub game. The environment we experienced at USCe will be very similar to what we see in the Iron Bowl - tight game (hopefully not), rowdy crowd, picky officiating, all the pressure on us, etc. That win will give us even more confidence moving forward.

After the stretch of games we just went through, I expected a bit of a drop off in the SC game. Not because we were unmotivated given the circumstances or bright future ahead - but because we were tired, banged up after the last 4 tough games etc.

I thought we would win going into the game, but in an ugly way for the reasons mentioned above (ex. Tenn at Bama in 2009)

I thought we showed championship level grit to pull out the W the way we did, despite all the pressure in the world being on us.

I mean yeah, I would’ve liked to have won by 40, but that was a gutsy win in a tough environment, so I’m encouraged.


Side note - that stadium and environment is very very similar to what we will see at Aub. So at minimum that win was excellent mental prep for the last game of the season against little brother.

moderately successful coach

Stupid statement. Moderately successful coaches don't make the coaching HOF.

Let’s be honest, Richt was pretty successful. Won an SEC title, beat his rivals on a more than average basis, won a few big orange or sugar bowls, but never won or played for a national championship….he never reached the pinnacle of success - so I guess he was moderately successful?
