But they dodged a bullet by missing on Chip

3-9 10-3

From 4-8 to an 8 win season the next year?
Not saying it’s impossible but
Didn’t know the fan base expected that much by next year

It might happen. Let’s look at the past decade

Auburn 3-9 in 2012, 12-2 and national runner-ups in 2013

TCU 4-8 in 2013, 12-1 in 2014

Georgia Tech 3-9 in 2015, 9-4 in 2016

MSU 4-8 in 2016, 10-3 in 2017

Notre Dame 4-8 in 2016, 10-3 in 2017

But where the rings at?

But where the rings at?

The same place Bama’s ring is at from this past season

The same place Bama’s ring is at from this past season

The difference is that y’all celebrate mediocrity, we don’t

All about checks & championships in Tuscaloosa

 

[RammerJammer]

I hope Clemson and Utah make the playoff

All about checks & championships in Tuscaloosa

Bama players didn’t see either last year

I'm now ready for college football!!!!

I'm not expecting miracles from Alex Grinch but I would like to see improvement in the play-calling area. He has been, so to speak, wheeling and dealing to get this defense right, but I don't know if this defense will be any better than last season with the talent currently present. Ranking won't matter to me much, but I would like to see OU keep opponents between 20-25ppg. Time will tell.

The offense... should be nasty provided that Hurts is consistent with his passing the entire season. Add in the fact that he is a homerun threat running the ball AND he has a TON of weapons, OU shouldn't struggle to score from anywhere on the field.

Special teams... I wonder who the new kicker will be?

Y’all won’t be doing too much kicking anyway so it won’t really matter
