I thought a corner had been turned last year just in the fact that we were a much more physical, and in shape, football team. But I never thought we'd win the league last year. I know were in the running, but I do remember thinking it was a stretch. That Cincy win was fun, but was against a backup QB who didn't play very well.

Something always seemed off with the offense last year, started to feel more hopeless as the season went on, especially the WR position. This year, it feels like it's trending the other way. Graham is coming into his own, taking some pressure off Chew and Lemon, who are healthy and can still make plays. Throw in West, Provo's big year. Bailey is consistent. OL has been improving each week (to me, anyway).

And again, I think there's a big difference between lowly UConn from this year and last year. Louisville might be about the same so we just can't make the same backbreaking mistakes (like dropping a wide open TD pass in the end zone) like we did last year. Their using a true freshman QB instead of a senior last year (albeit backup) has to help us given what Shafer can do to him. Just need to stop their running game better. Our run D has been a pleasant surprise this year.

I know that WVU game was only one game, but it really has me feeling differently about our chances. If we win on Saturday, I'm trumpeting this one a lot more next week. Which game won't we be favored in?
