...plays out, and then start passing judgment on the staff. What if we finish the 2nd half with 5 wins, go to a bowl and win to finish 8-5? Considering the number of key injuries, the toughness of the schedule, and the lack of a playmaker at QB (BA is serviceable but we need a playmaker in the SEC as we will never have the depth of LSU or Alabama), 8 wins would be a very good year to build on. Our defense should be very solid next year. The main complaint I have is I do not get why we don't go vertical in our passing game 3-5 times a game...there is no reason to not do this as BA has the arm strength and EVERYONE stacks the box against us.
