Ya dude..... it's a weird dynamic. This is why it's so hard to predict these games. We don't run a consistent offense. What I mean by that is, we don't line up and have the ability to pound you and control tempo like we used to. We have to hope that our "timing" shows up, instead of our "toughness". It's just a different game for us now.
Look at tech. On any given night, if tech is hitting on ALL eight cylinders, they can beat anybody. But it has to be that night. The stars must align. Now, on any other given night, Tulane can't play the absolute perfect game and beat Alabama. It's just not realistic. Aggy was what? One inch away from arguably one of the greatest upsets in their program history against Clemson? (on any given night)
But we now run a different offense than we are used to, and that offense is staffed with different kids than we are used to.
Remember when Spike Dykes ran Tech? They were a quick snap, no count, wing T, outside veer, option team. Inside of five years they went to a 5 wide, sling it 65 times a game and run it only when they HAD to. It was a difference offense than they were used to, staffed with different kids than they were used to.
We are at that point.
After 8 years off this s**t I'll have learned to appreciate victory and it doesn't matter to me how much or who it was anymore. Fior. the first time since 2009 there is a real reason to be ☺ Speaking for me I look at the rest of our schedule and right now I don't see anyone we can't beat. But there isn't any team that can't beat us. And I'm enjoying this.
