I thought Billy\'s point was that Preseason isn\'t necessarily a good indicator of regular season performance because different coaches have different goals wrt preseason play. The idea is this: if we\'re going to take a game and just work on base defense, then we\'re probably going to lose, though we\'ll get live practice on the defense. Also, in preseason, you may play to win (i.e. go for 2 instead of the single), instead of playing it safe (which could cost you games). You may try to get the ball to the new guys too much, etc. I think he\'s right about that.
Gator\'s point was that we looked bad. I don\'t really remember Billy saying anything about that. Looking bad, versus having a poor W/L in the preseason may be two very different things. |
