...we had about "average" luck, or maybe just a little more good luck than bad luck.

-could have still beaten KSU had we missed that FG, and the delay penalty was bad on us, but also bad luck; plus their first TD was lucky for sure

-maybe were going to beat KY anyway ... I would not call that play luck

-4th and 17: ya good luck on that play, but also just good execution ... FL played their best game and ended up holding us to FG attempts when we should have scored TDs so overall, they had as much good luck as we did in that game

-LSU game we might have won with a little luck, same with GA game
