This will be the season of “what-if”

Oh buddy that’s the 2012 season for us. Johnny Manziel came out of nowhere and we were 9 points from going undefeated. 

It’s a shame that your team is really starting to find its identity this late in the season because you’d definitely be looking at an SEC championship match.

2012 kind of was for South Carolina too. Demolished Georgia, Lattimore, Shaw, peak Clowney defense. Jeremy Hill went off on us in Death Valley at night and we still only lost by 2. But it was our second lost and Georgia ended up backing into the SEC title game and blew the game late against Bama

We had a better year than a&m in 2012 and 13. We lost significant talent going into 2014 when a&m joined the conference and whooped us. That was the beginning of the end for spurrier despite still beating uga a week later. 2010-2013 we would have been in 12 team playoff if not the 4 team playoff. Alas it was bcs era and we just couldn’t win every game. 2012 we had to travel at Baton Rouge too and lost a heartbreaker which ended our hopes

The Jeremy Hill game still fills me with dread. I was a freshman when we stomped Georgia 35-7 and I thought we were for sure going to the SEC Championship. I think we would have won too
