I think he was LB coach at Kennesaw St. in 2016 and at Temple they faced Navy and Army. Add that to the fact most of our players saw it every day in the past and it makes you scratch your head.
Yep, last time I checked, we've finished in the top 10 exactly 4 times since 1960 (only 3 times in both polls)...1966, 1990, 1998, and 2014. Also, I think the final '66 poll was taken before the Orange Bowl loss to FL

The past 11 years, we finished below Duke exactly 2 times in the final ACC standings (not once the last 3 years). Cut may have our number as of late, but he's still only had 2 ACC winning seasons in 11 years (last one in 2014). As for Pitt, we've finished below them 3 times and above them 3 times.
The cracks in the Miss. St. defense actually began appearing the game before against rival Ole Miss. At the time, MSU was ranked #4 and had hopes of reaching the 4 team playoff. After the game, Dan Mullen let his feelings be known about the meltdown...
Yep, you're right. I thought about it a little, but not hard enough. Fortunate to have been at both of them. Regardless, being 1 of only 6 QBs over almost a 60 year period is pretty special.
Since 1960, there have been 5 starting QBs who can claim at least 2 victories over the Mutts. Thomas is one of them. The others....Lothridge, Dewberry, Jones, and Hamilton. Collins made a point to make contact with Shaq during the recent Super Bowl practices, I'm sure he'd welcome Justin as well.
I'd be OK with it if we just kept the VT game playbook (and blocking scheme). Of course, VT had a young defense last year, but I have never seen Bud Foster so befuddled as he was that night.
