It obviously wasn't the result we wanted, but if you were on board with BV in the morning, bailing at this point is nothing more than bedwetting. His tenure has had plenty of issues, but this year hasn't been one of them.
The fact that our defense gave up 16 points and people are still complaining speaks volumes as to how far it has come. There was a time we would have been stoked to only give up 16 points to Temple or UTEP.
The offense looked like their QB1 broke his hand three weeks ago and hardly took any reps all week. I've been as skeptical as anybody about Mateer's Heisman expectations, and have called our offense mediocre many times, but that was absolutely an abomination. He wasn't right. If that's what we get all year, sure, maybe we sound the alarms, but that isn't what we've seen at all this year. A mediocre offensive performance gets us a W today.
Coming into the season, most of us would have been quite happy with a 5-1 start. Auburn has UGA down at half, which makes 3 straight weeks of close top 10 matchups. UM is ranked #15 (though likely not for long). The offense needs work, but this team doesn't suck.
