Let's say Cam stays for his senior season. Okay, everybody in unison..
CAM STAYS FOR HIS SENIOR SEASON
Very good.
Now, how many games difference does that make in wins in 2011? I say 1 at most and I think that game would have been Clemson. Could have made Arky a good bit closer because we had a couple of glimmers of hope in that game. Otherwise, our collective shit was pushed in hard by Arky, LSU, Georgia and Alabama. Closer games? Proabably not much closer because AU was outmanned on both sides of the ball in all those losses and Cam would have been lucky to make it through the season with his style.
Point being, Cam doesn't win the MNC without one of the most senior laden and experienced teams in the nation. Granted, they don't win it without him either but I want to pistol whip every mofo who says 2010 was all Cam.
It would have changed every game we played. The defensive philosophy would be TOTALLY different. As soon as teams figured out we did not have that dual threat last year, they threw the kitchen sink at us. With Cam, they would not even think about it. Would we have won all of our games? maybe not,but we would have been in EVERY one of them till the end.
But does Travis really have a point. Hard to say. What if we never got Cam and Rollison became what we thought he could be? Maybe not undefeated, but still very competitive. So it is hard to day for sure.
