I said before the season I saw us going 8-4, 7-5 if things went sideways. That looks pretty spot on.
Also said we would finish 8th in the SEC in total defense and 43 in the nation. After today's game we are giving up 338.4 YPG, which would put us 8th in the SEC and 41st nationally. Of course, the later games will move this a little, but I feel I called it fairly accurately, and really really hate being right. I would rather we were great and I had to eat crow.
The good news is it doesn't look like my biggest fear is going to come to pass. I wanted Grantham to either turn into a great DC or be terrible and get canned. What I didn't want was for him to be just barely good enough to keep his job another year. We are never going to progress until we get someone competent in that position.
