I believe this is different. First of all, I don't believe there is ever just one program-changing win, but a series of them. We did turn a corner against WVU last year, unfortunately rebuilding is a maze and requires a lot of corners to be turned prior to its finish line. Last year's win against the Mountaineers was great, but this one was better. As you say, we have not played well for much of the year, but yet, here we are at 5-2. In 2.5 years we have gone from having to play perfectly to win, to being able to play poorly and still win. So that, in itself is a major corner turned, and then top it off with the fact we beat a top-15 team (and finally playing up to our ability in all phases to do it) and you have another major corner turned.

All that said, I am conservatively optimistic due to the fact that we must take care of business in the next two games. Two winnable games, but not pushovers. If we come out with the swagger we did against WVU, and win those two games, we should be ranked (another corner turned), with the potential for a 10-win season (yet another corner turned), and we should be stacked coming back for the all-so-critical follow-up season to truly cement the fact we are indeed BACK.
