Going to them last year with a 5-5 record for the first round of the playoffs (although I was concerned about whether or not we'd play our best), I knew that we were capable of beating them and their 8-2 record, simply based on the teams that allowed them to achieve that record. But as everyone else has said, their schedule has taken a massive bump up. What would concern me about them is discipline. They definitely didn't handle adversity well, and were constantly trying to fight. There were a bunch of non football play things going on throughout the course of the game, and I was afraid that our guys would find themselves getting ejected for fighting back. Maybe it was just that game and failed expectations of being 8-2 but losing to a 5-5 team handily. Idk. Hopefully they can get that under control.
