This is just the BEGINNING

AEB

In year 3 of Petersen we played Bama in the CFP. We measured up against them with a D good enough to beat them but with an O not there. OL too young and not physical enough. QB1 arm not strong enough to make all the throws against an elite D. We know where improve. The path to victory was narrow and the two TOs made the path disappear. Allen called UW soft, but I disagree. We had fight to the finish and hurt several of their players. Minkah wouldn't have passed NFL concussion protocol. Our team had pride.

So fuck moral victories. Rather, we know where to improve to beat the elite. We're close but need more work. We'll play SC in the p12 championship game next year. Book it.

Great post.

You had a season well worth celebrating.

Is this the equivalent of winning a RB in year 3?

No. We didn't win. There's room for improvement starting with the OC, QB and OL. But we measured the fuck up

12 wins, a PAC12 title, and we got to be Alabama's yearly punching bag with a moderately young team. This year was suppose to be the stepping stone to next year.

In comparison what did Michigan win? Nothing, and with 20 starting Seniors. This was their year.

If we got to play in it... unfortunately we were too good for that. Dang, why couldn't we be just a little worse?

I think we'd beat PSU, but still winning >>>> losing.

Winning is always better than losing, but for this group they're ahead of schedule and they know what it takes now. And they responded. They didn't quit. I think this team will murder teams next year.

It definitely feels better but it isn't always better.

Fuck anyone who doesn't think this is an amazing year.

From 6-6 to the CFB Playoff. That's fucking rad.

Exactly. Couldn't have said it better, plus it just lets us know where we stand and where we need to improve. All which have been mentioned in other threads.

We are in a great spot. It fucking sucks losing but this is not some flash in the pan bullshit.

Damn straight. On top of that, we have, quality-wise, our best recruining class in the internet TBS ranking ever coming in. Very bright future

Like I said if we don't get completely fucked by the NFL draft we'll be back next year

Would be nice to get some Bama-level linemen. But, yeah.

I'm not sure we'll get popped. Ross looked average at best against Bama. Buddha and SMFJ are gone. Anyone else?

Need big, strong, fast, agile, mean OL

Need big, fast, physical WR that can win high-end 1 on 1 battles

Need a TE that can stretch the middle of the field and be a reliable source of throws over the short to intermediate middle

Need a QB that can stand tall, step into throws, deliver darts with power and accuracy

We've got a good formula on the defensive side of the ball and lauded the defensive recruiting over the past couple of years ...

We've seen some recent improvements on the offensive side of the ball but it is still behind that of the defensive side of the ball ... WR recruiting is on the upswing ... Sirmon will be the next generation QB we need to take the next step forward there ... OL recruiting is still a massive question mark as to whether we can get the quality needed to compete at the national level ...

And let's be honest, everything tonight offensive starts with how our OL matched up with their DL

I think this was better for the program. Pete now knows what he needs to compete on the national level. He will grow from this and adapt to it.
