Looks like we could have just as easily been 1-3 to start last year as well. Or 3-1 this year. Just goes to show how tough this league is

First of all Smoot, we had SEVEN turnovers in Week 2 against the Giants this year, not just one.

Another thing, the offense last year scored 16, 33, 21, and 20 points respectively. The most we've scored this year so far is a measly 18 points. Say what you will about Spurrier and his failure in the NFL -- at least his offense got in the endzone -- and that was without the running game everyone said we needed so desperately.
