Auburn or Oregon: Most Likely UT-like Collapse in 2011?

by RMHorn on Jan 10, 2011 5:44 PM CST

The 2010 season still hurts - a lot, tonight's NC game officially puts an end to the miserable football year that it was for Longhorn fans. Can any team ever duplicate the epic collapse and futility we witnessed following our NC game appearance last January? Oregon has their QB coming back, Auburn is also supposedly built for another good year next season. But, just for fun here's a little poll. Feel free to explain why below.

Are you kidding? The collapse of Texas in 2010 following their NC game last season was utter, complete and an epic fail unlikely to ever be duplicated in a year following an appearance in a NC game! Ever!

Many Auburn

But Cam Newton would have to be drafted in the third round, malzahn would have to get a HC position so that Greg Davis, who is buddies with Gene Chizik from his time at UT, can take over at OC.

auburn

they are going to lose a bunch of guys to the nfl.
no more cam newton, no more nick fairly.

Thats the leader on either side of the ball.
Plus we are stealing their oline coach.

Lose the trenches and lose the qb.
+ plus in a good conference. = lots of lose.

but no one could suck quite as bad as we did especially considering the recruits and talent we have.

UT 2010 was the perfect storm

Forgive the use of perfect here, but losing McCoy, Shipley, o-line personnel, a pro bowl caliber safety in Thomas along with Kindle & Houston on defense. Add a 1st yr QB and the deep low pressure that was GD and you have it. Instead of using your speedy ship to outrun the storm, Mack sailed right into the teeth of it with 1st mate Davis at the wheel. Not sure those conditions arise again
