Tale of two seasons

[welchog]

Conference play is where the focus is here.  Not thought about this much, but looking back from last season to now, the worm seems to be turned for the Hogs.

2014-
TAMU- OT Loss.  Led most of the game and should have won.
BAMA- Loss.  Missed opportunities.  Outplayed Bama except for scoreboard.
MSU- Loss.  Could have forced OT, but came up short.
MU- Loss.  Missed opportunities.  BA hurt.

0-4 record.  2 we should have won (TAMU and Bama) and 2 we could have won (MSU and MU).

2015-
TAMU- OT Loss.  Almost same as 2014.
Aub- 4OT Win.  Multiple 4th down and 2 pt conversions ending in our favor.
OM- OT Win.  Should have won in regulation.  4th and 25 conversion.  2 Pointer to win.
MSU- Loss.  See-saw battle.  No defense on our side, turnovers on theirs.  Miss GW FG.

2-2 record.  1 we should have won (TAMU), 2 we could have lost (Aub and OM), and 1 we could have won (MSU).

Maybe our luck/experience will help the 2016 season and make it 4-0 in these situations?

We will have to wait and see how it pans out.

This defense doesn't work without pressure on the front end..period.

[scorekeeper]

We return a more experienced defense next season, but the potential bummer is that we have to replace at least 4 from offense not counting J-Will.

Yeah, I wish we could have gotten at least Austin more playing time this year.

MSU will regress, with Dak gone.
I think Auburn will stay about the same.
A&M?  I have no idea... they could be much improved next year or they could be about the same.

Ole Miss is probably going to be better next year. They may be scary.

Obviously it's way too early to tell... I just hope our QBs keep coming along. Whichever one is going to be starting

A tale of two reasons, grit and grind.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Expect to take step back offensively next year, no doubt.  Replacing a lot of production.  Allen, JWill, Collins, maybe Henry, Tretola, and probably Kirkland.  Hopefully the defense will be improved enough to bridge some of the gap.

2017 has lots of potential, though.

We are going to be worse?  Oh brother.

[Hogarusa]

New QB will mean some growing pains.

Aren't we also losing Smothers at Center?

Yes.  I didn't want to throw anymore gasoline on the fire.
