Ok, so we got off to the 4-0 start and things looked really promising. But, that wasn't without drama and if you think back to both the VaTech and Washington games; our defense was exposed. VaTech didnt figure it out until the second half, and it took several stops in the redzone to beat Washington. They moved the ball down the field with relative ease and yes, we stepped up; but they also missed field goals and that game was on the line at the end, so, could have very easily been a loss.
Takes me to Nebraska, where that could have been a critical win and we probably should have won that game. For whatever reason, our defense was outstanding and we missed several opportunities to punch it in for TDS. Throw out Wisconsin, as that was not ever close. Worst game we have played in two years, so a loss either way. We they play UCLA and our offense steps up, but the defense was once again completly lost.
Win a tough road game at Nebraska and play average defense vs. UCLA, and we are 6-1 and the attitude is extremely positive. Unfortunately, that didn't happen and we are 4-3 with our backs against the wall at USC.
I hope that somehow we can get back on track. A win on Friday and the season is back on.
