Some sunshine, because why not

Eating lunch and thought I'd look for a positive trend this season. Found this that I thought was encouraging:

2013: 20.6, 4/5, 3
2014: 19.5, 6/8, 4
2015: 17.4, 4/6, 3
2016: 17.4, 3/7, 2
2017: 13.3, 4/7, 2
2018: 10.5, 1/4, 0

That is our average margin of defeat, how many of our loses were by double digits, and the number of 21+ point loses we've had every year.

As many have said, laying an egg in the Ole Miss game to start the season continues to sting. If you just look at conference play, the 2018 number is 7.3 and the other years don't really change.

And I get it, close loses count the same as blow out loses. But at least I'm still engaged in games in the 4th quarter this year rather than just waiting for them to end. And given that, I think if Kirby is looking for a reason to bring Kliff back rather than let him go, you'll see him back on our sideline next year (baring a total collapse). Shoot, if he can actually pull off the upset this week it might be announced pretty quickly.
