I keep coming back to Dino's oft-repeated declaration that his teams usually start clicking in year 2, Game 4. If you look at the season through that lens, you have:
Before:
CCSU
MTSU
CMU
After:
@LSU
@NC State
Pitt
Clemson
It's exciting to think that maybe the offense just clicked right around the time when Dino has always said it was going to click and maybe, just maybe, this is the new normal.
