There was a good reason why I chose the Hogs plus the spread. And now you know.It would be easy to complain about the Tigers but we should not expect anything different from this team in the 12th and final regular season game especially on the road. A 20 - 13 win is good and don't forget that any win on the road in the SEC, even Arkansas, is a tough chore. So I will take'em any way I can get'em.Here are the highlights as I saw them from my couch in the watching room for sports;
1. Mettenberger while certainly not his best effort was relatively effective when we needed him most. 200 plus yards, no interceptions.
2. While the defense bent, it did not break, giving up only 13 points will win most games.
3. The return game bailed us out again and made life a little easier on the offense.
One day we will look back on this season and realize how much the Tigers accomplished in 2012. There are two first time starters at cornerbacks that are going to get better and end up pretty good, probably next year. The team as a whole is young, gaining valuable experience that will provide valuable depth next year when all of the injured return as well as the academic casualties from earlier this year. I also see alot of good things to build on for the offense as well. Receivers got better, O-line got better, QB got better and the RB were good all year long. We also found a TE that can run routes and catch the ball.
Don't hang your heads Tiger fans, we will take our bowl bid (probably Cotton) and prepare well to finish the season with 11 wins and momentum heading into off-season workouts.
It is still a great time to be a Tiger fan.
