Reasons why i think 2018 was still a competitive year......

We curb stomped FSU 24-3
We blew out William and mary
We decisively beat a ranked Duke team
We played strong with a top 10 ranked Notredame for 3 quarters.
We beat Northcarolina
We beat UVA
We handled Marshall easily
Other close games....ODU (Lockerroom issues hurt us here)
GT ended up blow out, but halftime score was 28-21
Miami ended up a blow out, but halft time score was 17-14
Lost a nail biter to a cincinatti team that finished 11-2, but 4 points.

That is what I call a competitive team. If you disagree, I think your wrong.
