[QUOTE="lstewart53x3, post: 1680407, member: 10313"] We finished the year ranked #71 football outsiders F+ rankings, so our final record, based on our schedule, is about right. The fact that we could’ve won 7-8 games this year with a few more things going our way is a testament to how well coached we were this year. Did play calls down the stretch cost us a game or two? Maybe. Had we gone for it on 4th *and* converted, there’s good chance we have another win or a two. But a conversion isnguaranteed (see the Rutgers game). We also could’ve lost to PSU in any of those 9 overtimes. In any given season, you’ll have multiple wins and losses decided by individual play calls down the stretch, this season was no different. Overall, we finished the season 3-4 in games decided by one possession. Seems about right for the 71st ranked team. Based on the way we improved throughout the year, I’m hopeful moving forward.
