Title: The season is not over
Post by: BanditVol on September 16, 2012, 04:02:10 EDT
I read somewhere below that we will get beat by "bama, usc, uga, missouri, and msu".  I think we definitely should be dogs to the first three, but no way no how am I willing to concede to either MSU or Missouri at this point in the season.

It would be good if the team could finish 8-4. The team could be so mentally fragile that they could go in the tank like they did after the game with Florida last season.

I'm a bit worried about that also.  Bray seemed to quit in the 4th quarter.  In fact, his performance in the 4th reminded me of Kentucky last year.

So the challenge Dooley has is to keep them motivated.  They still have a lot to play for IMO, and hopefully they will.

It's not, but we're still the same mediocre program we've been.  Still get schooled by ranked teams.

Bray has showed some flashes of greatness...but so many streaks of immaturity.  He did quit in this game, he is soft, and not a leader.  He is a prima donna who looks to point and blame his recievers EVERY time there is an arrant throw.  How many times did he miss his target badly tonight?  Not one time did I see him say "my bad" or take responsibility for his many mistakes.  To have the athletes we have, it is a shame!

I won't argue (at least tonight) over the second part, but in spite of this loss, IMO we are a much improved team this year.

I have a hunch that with Driskel emerging tonight Florida is a legit contender in the East, may win it, and this loss will look less bad.  I am also hopeful that we continue to improve and have a decent season.  I guess time will tell.
