like this where he and his team came into a season 100% convinced they were headed to the CFP. In just the last two games, the losses combined with confirmation Cam is done for the season, their odds of the CFP went from what they thought was 100% to near 0%. That's a letdown that KWhitt has never faced.
In years' past, give KWhitt credit. Nearly every time when he's had early season losses, usually due to offensive ineptitude, he's rallied the troops, challenged his o-line to be dominant, and put nearly the entire offense on the back of his star RB. Then they go and win with ball control offense and strong, opportunistic defense. KWhitt has always thrived best whenever he's been able to convince his team that nobody respects them.
Well, nobody respects them right now. If they come out flat vs TCU, it will mean either KWhitt has grown too tired to use his normal bag of tricks, or those tricks just aren't working with this team.
