I’ve already said it before the Clemson game; this was the game circled on my calendar. I hoped, but had full reason to believe Clemson would beat us. But my interest was, what will we do after the loss. If we play another sloppy, uninspired game today, just pack up the season. If we play like we r trying to avenge an embarrassing loss, then we have a shot.
We won; it was ugly, at times, lackluster effort, but the def stood tall when the backs were against the wall. The difference was Pitt gave us 7 & we gave them 3. It’s becoming apparent to me now that I’ve seen Lashlee’s O play against 3 defenses that were good to great that we’re going to struggle & look incompetent at times.
Our Def took advantage of being more talented than UAB & a one dimensional O w/o their starting QB in Pitt. We might have some slug fests w/ those types, but our O should relieve any pressure against toilet defensive teams.
I’m not sure what to make of our product yet; we’re 4-1 but it feels uneven. We’re constantly in our RZ relying on bend don’t break, and our O is hit homerun or nah.
At this point under all the circumstances we faced last yr, if our W/L column looks good, we gotta take it. Gotta give the 2021 recruits something to look forward to. With the remainder of our schedule, we should have no more than 2 losses, and honestly, we should be awaiting a rematch w/ Clemson.
