Well, "the worst" has happened, seemingly: lost our budding star-QB, then lost our first game--but we're still here. And still standing proud.
If this is what we do, how things turn out after that kind of blow, then nearly getting plowed under yet somehow coming back and still in it at the end, well, we are gonna be ok.
Better than "OK".
We can beat UGA, go on and take the East.
There. First time I've said something like that, believed it regarding one of our "powerhouse elite" in-conference opponents in a long time. Certainly this year.
OK--they're not so "powerhouse", maybe, but we aren't so far off from that "elite"--and learned THAT last night: Sure, that runner's a BEAST, but took a Miles-special, a fake kick in the 4th, to beat us. And we still drove the field twice after that, had a drop in the endzone or we take 'em to overtime.
OK OK....Game's over, behind us--but we CAN take some good things from it.
Now Mac & Co. have the "by-" to heal, adapt more fully to the realities and required adjustments, further tweak the "new" offense, get ready for the 'Dogs. All in all, well-timed.
Strangely enough, I am more confident in this team and where its headed, even in our eventual record and prospects for this season than I've been before now.
