The fact remains, Tanner does great against terrible teams.

You're cherry-picking

Cincy's and ECU's pass defenses were good because they faced terrible offenses

8/9/17 12:04pm

Wrong again - that comment was based on S&P+, which, guess what, is SOS-adjusted

You're telling me ECU and Cincy are better than ASU and Arizona.
