We were discussing whether Parker Navarro should be the quarterback last offseason.

Seems light years ago.

This is the best team we’ve had that I’ve seen.
I'd argue that pre-injuries 2012 was a bit better, but you can make a case for this team. And this team certainly seems to have peaked at a perfect time.
Probably right. I just can’t get that Miami game out of my mind and it sours the whole season in my mind. I just stood there in Oxford and stared at the field for 15 minutes after the game in disbelief.
Fair. That team just had a higher ceiling and never came close to it after winning in Happy Valley. This year's team had 6-6 written all over it after the first month or so of the season and simply got better every week aside from laying an egg in Oxford.

The ol' 14 yard punt to roughly the 20 yard line. Don't like that.

Didn't take long to put that one into the endzone.

Man, it would be awesome to end the season ranked. Gotta start cheering against those teams in the bottom 5 or so.

Here are the teams we need to watch (Coaches Poll, but they're all pretty similar):

18--Army (11-1 at time of ranking, now 11-2). They've already lost once (Navy) since last ranking. Will play 5-7 La Tech in their bowl, having avoided Marshall. If they lose, we should be ahead of them.

19--Iowa State (10-3). They play Miami, but finishing first in Big 12 should keep them ahead of us unless they get absolutely annihilated.

20--Missouri (9-3). Plays unranked Iowa (8-4) in Music City Bowl. Problem is that winner of that game likely stays ahead of us.

21--Illinois (9-3). Plays #15 South Carolina in Citrus Bowl.

22--Colorado (9-3). Media darlings, we need them to get blown out by BYU in the Alamo Bowl.

23--Memphis (10-2 at time of ranking, now 11-2). Already beat West Virginia 42-37 in the Frisco Bowl. They'll stay ahead of us, likely moving up.

24--UNLV (10-3 at time of ranking, now 11-3). Beat Cal 24-13 in the LA Bowl, don't think we leap past them.

25--Syracuse (9-3, still to play 8-4 Washington St in the Holiday Bowl). Go Cougs if we want to have a chance at being ranked.

Receiving votes ahead of us:

26--Texas A&M (8-4), playing 6-6 USC Trojans in Las Vegas Bowl. Need a USC win.

27--Duke (9-3). Faces #14 Ole Miss in the Gator Bowl. Need a win by the Rebels.

28--Louisville (8-4). Playing 6-6 Washington Huskies in the Sun Bowl. Go Huskies!

29--Kansas State (8-4). Plays 7-5 Rutgers in the Rate Bowl the day after Christmas.

30--Marshall...since they turned down their bowl invite, we should leapfrog them no question. We were one place below them.

So, we need to leapfrog six teams and not have anybody (like Iowa) pass us.

Best chances to pass: Army, Illinois, Colorado, Syracuse, Duke, Louisville, and Marshall. Other chances as well, but it'll be close if we can pull this one out. Getting nervous about that now, though.

Better regroup fast. Mental errors piling up fast. Huge momentum shift. Could’ve put this away and instead fumble followed by a deeeeep ball.

2 straight holds. Wiping out another Tyus hurdle.

Thank you to Jax State for the personal foul.

I’ll take that 1st.

No reason to be throwing there. Run it down 5-ish minutes and take the FG if necessary.
