He had 5th and 6th seniors that played together for a half a decade. If you combine our current OL’s entire career starts, it’s half of the starts that Ken marks, Shane vallot and max mitchell had EACH! We have 3 redshirt soph’s, a redshirt freshmen and redshirt junior on the OL (once burton starts) Levi Lewis had 3 starts before Billy even got here and still split time once Billy did get here then went on to start 39 games in 3 years. Percy butler, Manac, Humphrey, Torrence, Johnson, Bailey, garner, Gardner, wisham…all gone. Lost All those guys and we are still only handful of plays from being undefeated. You know what a lot those guys were before they learned how to win together? 7-7.
You're going to have close games throughout the year regardless of the team you are. Perhaps there are a few anomalies in the CFB world but by and large everyone has close games that you need to win to be a good/great team. We haven't won the close games because we aren't a good team. Not even arguing why we aren't a good team, we simply aren't a good team.
