With the 2018 season now over, I’ll have some more time to write deeper analysis later. But here are some quick thoughts:
- It was important to have a bounceback year after an awful 2017, and that’s pretty much what happened. The 2017 team got outscored 346-180 in eight SEC games. This one got outscored 235-208. That’s still not great by any stretch, but there’s a huge difference between a team that got outscored by three touchdowns a game and one that got outscored by roughly a field goal per game.
- With that said... wins and losses matter.
