re: Here’s what happened Saturday, and this year

This season feels a lot like 2005. We had Katrina completely disrupted the preseason. Then we traveled to Arizona at the last min, took two weeks off then played every week for 11 games in a row. ASU was a last second come from behind win, aub and Bama were OT wins and Ark and UF were both close wins. We literally just ran out of steam against GA in the sec title game. Those dudes were just physically exhausted. They started the season that way. Remember Pelini talking about all the guys needing ivs on the sideline during the Tenn game? (F Rick Clausen)

It feels a little like that except instead of a crazy situation it’s crazy lack of depth. People forget that our d lines in 2007 and 2011 were so dominant partly because we rotated so many guys. The starters didn’t have to play every snap every game.
