re: This team has been in a Funk all year

The day Jamar Chase opted out was the wind that was taken out of the sails for the entire season.
That told the rest of the team where the mindset was.
I have nothing against his decision as he will still likely be a top ten pick but that was a tough one.
He was the best player on the team and having to cover both him and Marshall would have been a challenge for anyone.
Except for first half of Miss St game, Brennan showed promise buy it's an awful lot to ask two true freshman QB's to win in the SEC right away without a spring practice, a cut up fall practice, and no non conf games to get seasoning with.

And I know that doesn't excuse the performance on defense.
