Recognize that the best team we beat was a 4 loss NC State team ranked 19th before their 4th loss, or a 5 loss USC, 4 loss Oregon State. These are mediocre teams.
Our losses came at the hands of every good team we played, not great teams. - Louisville, Clemson, Ohio state.
Sure, lots of improvement, ie our record, 10-3, our defense, the beatdowns delivered in 9 of the 10 wins.
However, still quite a ways from competing at the NC level - We need the signature win over an elite team, We need to find an identity for our offense,
Hiring Denbrock, starting a better QB next year, and bringing in a top 10 recruiting class this year are all positives looking to 2024. We should "expect" to go deep in the playoffs in 2024.
Go Irish!
