We clearly have the program at least back to where we were pre GRob, sucked that we had to drop as far as we did, but probably telling that it didn't take Marrone long to get back to neutral.  So if nothing else, we're not BCS laughingstock material, we're just kinda there.  No one really notices for a good or bad reason.

Having said that, our defense clearly has it's identity, it's up and running, we're able to plug in new guys and get them up to speed.  Sure, there were bumps early, and that game against WVU will probably be very sobering.  But we all can see what we have and get excited that these guys can make some plays (seriously, how good will our LB corps be next year and the year after?).

Maybe we need to do that more on offense?  By the looks of it, we're working the guys in, but we're doing it slowly.  Maybe they need more run.  The senior RB can't hold the football, the senior (jr. eligibility) QB just threw it to the other team 3 times.  The senior WR dropped a big 3rd down pass.  Hopefully some of those are anomolies (unfortunately not in Bailey's case), but if we think Saturday is more of a trend than a blip, there wouldn't seem to be much point in playing it safe.

I know that's not going to happen, and I understand why it shouldn't happen, but I do look forward to seeing a lot more of West, Foster, Kobena, etc.  Wish Gulley too, but oh well.  Maybe even give Kinder some run.  Give him a series each game, TOB style.
