The other thing I noticed when looking back, we really don't realize how good that 2007 season really was. I know the mid-season collapse and blown bowl game against Oregon leave a sour taste in some peoples mouths, but just looking at the regular season....if you were to mix those games up and just look at the results....wow, we really did have a great year.

9-3 overall

2 wins vs teams that finished in the top 15 (WVU #6, Auburn #15)

4 wins of 27+ points (UNC, Syracuse, Louisville & UCF)

Beat both the Sun Belt Conference Champ (FAU) and the CUSA Champ (UCF)

Our 3 losses were by a total of 15 pts to teams that finished 27-12 (with one of them ranked in the top 20)

Averaged 34.7 pts a game on Offense, while leading the nation in turnovers (43)

That was a really good team. Even with the loss to Oregon, that team still deserved to be ranked over quit a few of the 9-4 teams that finished ranked (who didn't have near the same resume).

2007 was a great year. Also consider that our loss to Rutgers could have been a win if you take away the "fumble forward." AND our loss to Cincinatti was a close loss after we turned the ball over like 6 times--we still almost won!

2007 was a really good team.

Do the stats on that 9-2 Marquel team. Should have gone bowling.
