Writer thinks Moll had departed (he's actually moved to the hybrid linebacker/safety position). Good stuff otherwise.

I'm glad we didn't fumble the ball in our bowl game. And we won 3 bowl games in 4 years.

I was about to say, he kept saying we played a bowl game. I appreciate articles like this, but try to get all the facts straight.

Thought it was a solid analysis for someone not day-to-day familiar with the program. It's always interesting to see the expectations from folks who write on the national level. He missed on a few things but overall not bad. Truth is that it's better than we'll get from the local outlet. Sad that he has more knowledge about program than a person who calls himself a beat writer.

Maybe, but he's still guessing. And really, a single 15 minute conversation with the SID would go a long way to getting a feel for the program, and correcting some of those embarrassing mistakes. He has arguably our best returning player leaving, and somehow missed that our bowl game was not even played.
I hope our "beat writer" is not the standard by which we measure good reporting these days. The whole world of journalism has crashed and burned.

Pretty big mistake to have a team's most acclaimed player in terms of preseason and postseason honors, as well as a leading contender for conference defensive player of the year, to not be on a team you are predicting to win its division.

As far as the bowl thing, I’m perfectly ok just pretending we went to the bowl game, South Carolina took one look at us in warmups and just walked off the field.
