though.
Brandon woulda almost surely got us past Florida, but beyond that it's pointless to speculate, imo. Defensively — between Jax, Abouo & KC, there was quite possibly no team that year we couldn't either have defended well — or run their bigs off the floor.
It's really too bad we came out flat in that Championship game against SDSU, though. Swept them two years in a row & dropped both Title games to them. Urrrrr.
I think it was one reason I didn't mind saying adios to the MW. We'd had no nostalgia lately worth hanging our hat on.
