Here are my bourbon infused thoughts after tonight:<div>
</div><div>We're a 6-6 team. That won't be an underachievement. We entered the season with 4 question marks: (1) Do we have any LBs? (2) Do we have a complete OL? (3) Will we have a pass rusher? (4) Do we have a DC? I think we now know our LBs are worse than anyone expected. 17ing Cam Lawrence may be our best LB. I think we would have been ok, if paper thin, on OL. We'll never know b/c injuries have already shown us why it;s bad to be paper thin. We do not have a pass rusher. Out of 4 questions, the best answer for state is that maybe Wilson is a good DC but our talent is so bad he can't show it. Hard to complain if we go 6-6 taking those four factors into account. If tonight is really indicative of stat'es talent level, we may have to do something special to be uab and olemiss.</div><div>
</div><div>We'll probably be a 6-6 team for a couple of years. We need more talent. We'll see, but I'm not sure it's on campus right now.</div><div>
</div><div>I don't see any reason to think Mullen is not a very good offensive coach. We had several wtf series against auburn, although th e day was good overall for O. We laid an egg tonight on offense. But I haven't seen anything that can't be explained by a makeshift line. Hard to be productivewhen your line is in shambles.</div><div>
</div><div>We're still on the right path, just turning out to be a longer trip than we expected. What Mullen did his first two years was pretty ridiculous. If somebody could ahv econvinced him of how to play the recruiting game in MS, we'd probably be making the next step. As bad as we've looked this year, I don't see anything to make me think Mullen can't win big at state, if he starts recruiting competitively. </div><div>
