Great compilation of stats, though.

And don't forgot Woody has some close calls. The upset at AA in '69, the upset in the Rose Bowl in '71 (that one cost us a NC), the tie with Scum in '73, the loss to USC in '75 and the upset by UCLAin the '76 RB (who we beat earlier in the year) in the Rose Bowl. I believe that is six ones we could have won right there......You could argue it is not the time on the job but the age of the coach and is he willing to change. Woody didn't do that even though his assistant begged him to during the season or especially during the games....
Will JT be able to adapt? I hope so and he has showed a tendency to change depending on his personnel.....
