Please pardon the punny headline.
I’m going to start off pretty negatively, but stick around and I’ll leave you with a warm fuzzy feeling of hope. After all, the Cats are 5-1. They are on a great track to finish with the best record they’ve had in a long time, and wins are wins. Anytime you can beat an SEC opponent, you ought to at least feel decent. Yet, South Carolina has been their only inspiring win thus far.
In their three other victories prior to Saturday – at Southern Miss (24-17), Eastern Kentucky (27-16), and Eastern Michigan (24-20) – the Cats underperformed relative to expectations.
