Another Ugly Trip To Tennessee

Just happy to squeak by with the win. That's two weeks in a row we got out of Dodge with a bruise or two but the ugly W.

My theory is still intact. I said it before on this blog. The Dogs will win out this year. Seems even more bold and half cocked given our performance of late.

The theory is based on a couple of things....

Mostly blind allegiance to a team that is half as good as I wish they were...another is the feeling that we're out of bad luck..finally. It's the feeling that we have an incredible set of components that have still not clicked as the one solid unit. Still having miscues, penalties and missed assignments. The difference this year? We are actually winning a couple of the close and ugly games. I think every team needs to win a couple clunkers and get a little lucky during the course of a good season. I just have this nagging feeling that we will get our act together and really hit that next gear.

A week off. Crowell will heal. Malcolm Mitchell will heal. We can prepare for the Gators without "overlooking" some other opponent. We can review last year's game play by play and realize that Aaron Murray lost that game for us by being a freshman. And it's okay. No worries.

This is the year we turn around the Gator curse.

We have a ton of room for improvement. Now is the time to move from "needs improvement" to "don't look now but the Dogs are good".

Mississippi sweep. Tennessee sweep. So far so good.
