2 of those late-season wins came by LSU and Ole Miss, highlighting a few of the enhancements the group made after a 4-5 start to the project.
Freshman quarterback DJ Lagway appeared like a star in the making by the end of the season, and Wilson certainly took notification when he was choosing where he would ultimately pursue requesting his release from Oregon.
