1- we are 2 games into a new season, and while there are some valid concerns regarding past performance indicators and how those will play out going forward, the truth is that we are just starting to figure out who this team really is.

2- yes, same HC, QB, OC, RB, etc. and all are still pretty new to their positions.  additional contributors that should help raise this team over last years performance (namely competent WRs) are even newer.  allowances in expectation must be taken for the growth curve.  honestly, I think GMc is getting better and while I'm not in love with O gameplan yet, its getting better and its tough to argue with a 37 point victory.

3- while everyone pretty much agrees that the Nova game was an outlier, I think it also served as a lesson & wake up call.  No one I know expected a blowout of CMU.  If we lost I was expecting "who will get fired first, HCSMFS or Marrone?" threads.  Instead the team believed/responded/whatever and got the job done against an opponent who most expected to be much tougher.

4- If SU was putting the longball up late in a massive blowout, there would be all kinds of other What GMc type threads.

5- I like Hunt, but don't think he's going to evolve into an all world QB.  He will have his faults but I think his upside is still very high.  If we are still complaining about his checkdowns 5 or 15 games from now, thats a different story.  For now, he's played 1+ games as the season starter.  His college career is just really starting to hit its stride and he's definitely done enough so far to earn the right for us to enjoy taking that ride from our seats.
