We knew this was going to happen…

Post by DS2001 »

It’s going to happen again the week after next and the week after that. The size speed and talent just aren’t there. Progress with this program is going to be incremental at best.
It’s taken Dave Clawson several years to get Wake Forest competitive like they are today.
They are the blueprint for what our program should be like in a few years.
Until then, we will see more of what happened yesterday.

It's coming. When we can give Alabama the kind of game Wake Forest gave Clemson, we'll be nearly there.

I would say if we could give Alabama the kind of game Wake gave Clemson, we ARE there.

Agree re UGA but not sure Ole Miss belongs in the same superhuman category with the Dawgs and the Tide.

We need to win an SEC game this year - Ole Miss, Florida, Mizou, SC are still out there. Georgia and UK probably impossible, but that is why you play the game. Point is, we need to win one of them to get important momentum in the build back.

I don’t recall Franklin giving Alabama much of a game and he had more talent of the team that faced Bama.

This team is heading in the right direction. For once the bye week comes at a really good time for us. The offense has a few extra practices to install a Mike Wright package, rest up some nagging injuries, and get ready for the next 4 game portion of the schedule.
