I think the most discouraging part of the season isn't the record and maybe not even the teams we lost to, though that OU loss is just killer, but instead the timing of the losses.

The 2 losses to bad/mediocre teams came when we were riding high. Vandy loss comes right after a huge win over UGA. OU loss comes after we seem to be on a bit of a roll crushing LSU and Missouri and have a clear path to the SECCG and Playoffs. Not to mention all 3 losses were also on the road. Both of those facts make you seriously question the mental toughness of the team as whole.

What I don't know is if that is a coaching issues, transition issue, or personnel issue. Out of all the options I hope it's not a coaching issue and not something that will continue.


Hopefully, we don't see the struggles on the road and vs inferiors teams after bigger wins moving forward. Hopefully, DeBoer just needs to get a few more of his guys and get his QB and we won't see these issues moving forward.
I'm waiting to see how the team does when this group of players cycle out. We had inconsistency issues with this team last season under Saban, we just lucked out in a few games to keep us from going 9-3 or 8-4. I think sometimes you just get a group of players who don't live up to their recruiting potential, regardless of coaching. This group sure did do a lot of chirping last season and this season and honestly didn't back it up.
