The only thing that was a problem when Boyle and JC played was Matney threatening to break the contract after the first game because he thought the Rebels ran the score up. But that was him just upset at the way his team played IMO.

I would say you are right. In addition to replacing a large senior class, from what I can remember, the preseason period was one of the tougher ones he endured. Not only did he lose his mother before the start of the season, his long-time defensive coordinator Glenn Reeves missed the game with the loss of a parent. Either way, the game in 2010 was a fun one to watch.
