to me 11-2 with a bowl win as a new team feels too good too fast, like you've skipped all the trials and tribulations, even if it was against poor competition
any thoughts on that?

Emphasis on the lean in :curtain:

So we played better than anticipated. Even your Blue Hens played better than their real-life counterpart. I was expecting to have more losses. Games against Ohio, Tulsa, Rice, UConn and Syracuse just didn't pan out that way. As I told Cap, anything beyond 4-5 wins is a gift. :shrug:

But now, this changes the narrative from struggle to prove that it wasn't a fluke, but we're still in the phase of trials & tribs. We gotta find a QB. That Holiday Bowl was Bryce Frost's best game out of 13 games, highly unacceptable, but we're gonna have to make due as we're still putting the team together.

We're far from conference championship ready, but a tougher schedule is on the table. :yep:

But on the program side, if I wanna get our stadium atmosphere up, we gotta dominate games. We shouldn't be no time soon, despite that we did, but it's a give and take.

Damn. UConn must have had players skipping the bowl game. That score wasn’t even a game.

First season was really good considering the new team, the number of wins and that huge bowl win.

What’s the aim next year? Top 20 finish?
ShireNiner, Everyone was in attendance. No injuries, no nada. Things were looking fine in the first, but they just gave up in the 2nd. When we hit those two big scoring plays in the 3rd, I knew this was a runaway, so I just simmed the 4th qtr

Not even thinking about finish in quality spots, even though I should. Just want to keep piecing this team together and try to make next season's sched a little tougher.

djp73, We leave that to the guy with the championship belt Image

But nah, I already had thought about this narrative on the tail end of the season. We just move forward and take a tougher schedule. But I appreciate you asking fam, it's perspective.
