re: What is your record prediction for football this year?

It was definitely a gut punch, but in hindsight it was almost inevitable. We were playing well but defense was beginning to show the effects of poor depth. We got the bye week to rest up and upset Bama, but that took a ton out of us and the defense was now gassed and beat up after playing a physical team. We played two more games before going into College Station against a team that played directly to our weakness which was an NFL caliber RB with a big arse O-line finally game planned to do what they should've been doing all year which was run the ball straight at people. They did that in spades.

November should be different this year as we have a lot more depth up front and infinitely more experience at LBer. I still expect us to struggle somewhat late in the season as depth across the board is still an issue.

I hope we can go 10-2, but its likely 9-3 with a stupid loss along the way due to inexperienced players having a lot of playing time due to injury. Those guys thrown to the wolves this year will pay off in 2024.
