It finally caught up to us b/c the talent of the opposing team was similar to ours. Fans always say....."just win baby", but an honest fan has to look at HOW you win.......that's called "THE EYE TEST".......just look at our offensive and defensive numbers.

The game within the game:
GT (4-5) - we were up 14-3 at HALF...ok, first game let's give a pass
Furman (FCS) - 28-9 at HALF....score ONE TD in 2nd half.........huh?, odd......final 35-12
La Tech (3-6!!) - up 13-6 at HALF...........this is now a TREND
@ Wake (6-3, 2-3 in conference) - DOUBLE OT W??........somehow viewed as a great win even though Wake had only beaten VMI, Vandy, & Liberty at the time........they were also a "SIGNATURE WIN" to falsify our #4 ranking last week........now about to be unranked
NCState (7-2) - probably our most complete game vs a solid team, but in the valley at night, NCstate never had a chance, but hey maybe we have something brewing??.....
Boston College (2-7) - THE SECOND RED FLAG - 10-7 at Half.........enough said.
FSU (6-3) - up 34-14 going into 4th quarter and our coaches.....being the coaches they are sit on it.......comes down to a recovered onside kick to seal it.....2015-2018 teams cut the throat at 34-14, but not this one.........killer instinct is lacking in the program
Syracuse (7-3) - another "signature win" to falsify our ranking.........ABYSMAL performance, but hey "just win baby".......right?????
ND (6-3) - won a close game with 5&5 BYU and 3&6 Cal........also got bullied at home by Marshall & Stanford..................35-14 beatdown!!

DESPITE the red flags EVERYWHERE in essentially EVERY GAME, MANY of you refused to admit or see the problems that we've faced for probably 3 years now............our conference has insulated our perception of how good our team REALLY IS (we used to DESTROY people w/ an occasional close game or two)

Until Dabo swallows his pride and ADAPTS to the new world of College football and treats our PROGRAM like the NATIONAL POWER that HE BUILT............we will continue a downward trajectory on the national scene, but still be buoyed by this pathetic conference b/c 9-10 wins may just be our floor and will continue to blind some fans of how we truly stack up among the ELITE........something we used to be. The NEPOTISM is REAL within this program and it's KILLING what was built just a few years ago.
