Did I think we’d be 10-2? No
Was I convinced about Cook, especially after Game 2? No
Was I convinced that Shrader was a legit starter? No
But that’s the point.
I thought after last year being close to 8-9 wins, and a new OC we should be good. But ended up doubting myself after Game 2.
Lessons:
Early season games don’t matter unless you lose
Teams can improve and adjust
The notion of floor and ceiling is stupid. A team is one devastating injury away from imploding. And who can predict the unpredictable.
If I said Cody Schrader would rush for 1400 yards most would have laughed.
Realism doesn’t mean reality.
Fact is Mizzou was only a few plays away from playing for an SEC Championship. How realistic was that? Turned out to be reality.
