Yep, and all this was known preseason.
Yes, definitely. And frankly, I think this is the toughest game on our schedule. I don't mean that Oregon is better than bammer, because they may not be, but bammer is our rival, relatively nearby, and we have played well in T Town lately. Kiffin almost beat them in 2009 and even Dools hung with them for a half in 2011. Plus we will have more time to develop.
So while it doesnt make me feel any better, I always thought this was the game we were most likely to get skull dragged in. I think we do better the rest of the way even against uga, bammer, uf, usc....
