That game had their whole season on the line. They win that game and they potentially could go to a NY 6 bowl game. Disagree completely.

The reason for the loss was Bad coaching, execution, short week, or whatever you want to call it. It wasn’t not being hyped for the game and it would be the same reason we would lose vs Georgia. It would have ruined our season and all the national exposure we received setting us up for this bowl game and next year.

Also being pumped for a game does not get you better results. Plenty of studies out there that being over hyped leads to bad performance.
