We are a middle of the pack p5 school by stats and a lower p5 team by w/l. Why is that? Why do our stats point to a .500 team and our w/l record not reflect that?! And if any of your reasons are out of our control, immediately strike them from the list - as they don't count. They are "excuses" and should be overcome by genius coaching, talent, and magic fairy dust.

You can't stand for a reasoned take. That there are things we suck at (in our control) and things that have happened to this team that are out of our control (injuries, bye weeks, etc.) - that all add up to our record. [B]Demanding that the stuff that falls outside of our control be overcome, just 'cus - is not reasoned. It's not seeing the situation clearly.

We are a little bit better than NC State by the numbers, but failed to win a close game. Was it the horrific pick-6 or injuries? If you answered one or the other - your'e not being reasoned. You're wearing orange glasses if you say it's the injuries - but if you say it's the pick-6 than you're leaving out just how off and out-0f-character a performance our line had. 8 sacks?! 30 yards rushing?! Those are outliers for the whole season and not consistent with how we've played. But AJ's pick was horrible. A bad decision. He failed on that play and contributed to the loss.

[B]Anyone who says "No excuses" is as guilty of delusion as someone who is wearing orange glasses.[/B]
