2006: John Beck, Harline, Coats, Curtis Brown are all seniors, along with other strong players on both sides of the ball. Bad loss on the road to a mediocre U of A team, then missed ops in a very winnable game at Boston College vs Matt Ryan in OT. Finish 11-2.

2007: Hall, Collie, Pitta, Unga, etc, etc, etc. Close loss to a mediocre UCLA team in the Rose Bowl. Bizarre shootout loss at Tulsa. Finished 11-2. This team gets a little bit of a pass since all of the above players were playing together for the first time. Rebuild/reload from ‘06. But still, huge missed op.

Really rough looking back. Just a couple less stumbles here and there and there would have been some NY6 games or better.
