    We are ranked #1 by Phil Steele in his pre-season rankings

    Without Fleming, we lose to USC and don’t make the playoffs. —He wasn’t what we expected, but he was uniquely critical for a successful season. I appreciate his effort/contribution. —-Agree that our receivers did very poorly at the most critical times.This is why we hit the portal for 3 “...
