of the last 10+ years.

That's who James Franklin has beaten.

UT hasn't beaten anybody either, but you don't hear Dooley up there talking about closing the gap and improving.

We've beaton 1 BCS division team with a winning record, which is one (1) more than candy or UF have done this year.

All men dream: but not equally.
Those who Dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the
Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.
This I did.

Beating Cincy was quite an accomplishment IMO and shows what might have been possible had Bray and Hunter both been healthy the whole season.

Looking back, I see a silver lining in our travails though.  For one, it made the rest of the team stronger IMO.  They were not able to lean on Bray and Hunter and had to go through some tough growing pains.  I think that pays big dividends next year.  Also, it drives home what little depth we had, but hopefully we helped develop that depth.  Our coaches have had it "very carefully explained" so to speak, to them just how far we had to go.  Hopefully that challenge energizes and inspires the entire team, particularly when they see what is possible with everyone back.
