Negative. GT would still be a loss. 23 pts on offense isn’t going to get it done in cfb.

Average defenses can stop one dimensional offenses, or at least lessen them.
You’re discarding field position and reduced time of possession for them, better field position and more chances for us.
We ran 12 less plays than our season average that game.

GT kept Cam off the field up to ten minutes a drive.

Per Inday, they beat us with a qb who didn’t have arms. We would have stopped them from scoring what they scored with a decent defense.

Oh yeah it's so hard to do that .... meanwhile literally the last two heisman QBs (who were just drafted 1 and 2 overall this year) went 11-3 and 10-3 during their heisman campaign season. lol.
Wait did Kyler, Baker, or Lamar - all of whom won the Heisman - make the National Championship game?

wtf are you talking about?

Kyler and Baker both won conference championships and were CFP semi finalists. lol wtf?? Do you really think the narrative around Mario would be "bad coaching job. less with more" had he won the programs first ever ACC trophy and finished in the top 4??

Williams and Daniels both played in conference championship games. Miami didnt even make it... in the ACC no less. Daniels got bumped his 2nd year by CFP semi finalist... NOT SMU & a ****** Clemson.

Lamar is the lone anomaly and he played for Lville. Is that a program you want Mario to aspire to????
Jackson left and the team went from winning 8 games to 2 and their coach got fired and never made it back to the Power 5.

You really wrote that and thought "this is a really solid counterpoint?"

No child left behind, my ***.

Williams played in the conference championship game and lost the season he won the heisman - IN. THE PAC12! lol. If we played the ACC CG and lost would y'all be saying "hey at least we played in it"... No.

Daniels did NOT play in the conference championship game last year - the season he won the heisman. Also they lost 3 games to our 2.

Again tell me how that is different than us... In fact to end the regular season we had basically the same ranking as those two did lol. So the post I responded to said that it is hard to do what we did - have a Heisman QB and not win anything... Okay I literally just provided two perfect examples of literally the SAME EXACT thing that happened the last 2 seasons. In fact Cam Ward isn't even likely to win the Heisman while those two did lol.

So yeah It is a great counterpoint. It's literally a perfect counterpoint and factual.

Y'all say we didn't win ****. I say we just had our second 10 win season in two decades.

Daniels lost to 2 top 10 teams man. Not GT & Syracuse. Two programs that have a combined 1 top 25 recruiting class in the last 20 years. That's not REMOTELY the same thing.

Williams losing to ranked Utah in the championship and winning games against top 20 teams isn't remotely the same.

Plus you're trying to use outliers to prove your point. And the funny thing about the data points you decided to choose..... Teams coached by Lincoln Riley and Brian Kelly. You're using 2 coaches who are on the hot seat for underachieving to defend Mario in a thread about Mario underachieving....

You've made 2 posts making my point for me and you're too dumb to realize it.

However you wanna justify it man lol. What I said was facts. 2 out of 2 of the last Heisman QBs didn't win **** either. So the "it's hard to do what Mario just did bs" is retarded and wrong.

These results in year like 6+ and after having a lot of recent success would be under achieving. However Most of the idiot mopers on this board were expecting 8 wins. We got 10 for the first time in 2 decades. And if we win the bowl game it will literally be our best finish since 2003. It's not overachieving or underachieving. It's just achieving lol.

Once again I'll say Mario isn't even a top 15 highest paid coach in CFB, and We are almost certainly in the 8-15 range as far as NIL goes.
Oh also we have won 10 games twice in the last 20 years.... and this year was one of them. We've finished top 15 at the end of the season after not being in the pre-season top 15 one time - and this would be the second. Mario just delivered the #1 offense in America and likely gets his QB from being a day 2 pick to being a top 5 pick. Also lets not get **** twisted, before they completely moved the goalposts most of the mopes on this site were predicting an 8 win season lol.

Yes this season COULD HAVE been way better. But acting like it was a failed season is idiotic, and just more mopery period.

Absolutely agree with ALL of this, yet am convinced we go 6-6 ceiling next year. Snorts midol.

Vegas had us preseason at 9.5 wins. Not sure I’d call 10-2 the “worst coaching job of the decade”. I mean, just a few hours north a coach took a team the was 13-1 last year and went 2-10 this year.
