You missed the point. *This team* never went 3-9.
I already told you. I thought 8-4, but would have thought 7-5 was reasonable.
A big part of my thinking was that SDSU and Nevada, with any kind of good coaching, were two free wins. After that, we just had to win half our games.
You seem to lean a lot on that 3-9 number (3-6 in the B1G). Were you aware that Purdue, Michigan State, Maryland, and Wisconsin won a TOTAL of four B1G games last season? Guess who's on the schedule this year, three of them at the Rose Bowl?
You're trying to measure this team against last year's team that had to play Ohio St. and Indiana on the road, a Utah team out of conference that finished 11-2, and was coached by a clown cosplaying as a coach.
To think we were going 5-7 with that schedule, under Chesney, and that that somehow could have been seen as "success", is beyond ridiculous.
