You're right. It's amazing what a little fire under the arse can do. Fact is the naysayers, myself included, were down on the staff for the mistakes all over the field. Pretty sure I even mentioned the one mistake free game we played, against Pitt, was a good win. Amazingly, the team stopped committing 10 penalties a game, handing the ball over to the other team, and shooting themselves in the foot every other drive. Ultimately it's on the staff to address those issues with the team. The fact that they did and actually got the team to clean up it's act has led us from 1-3 to 4-4 with a legit chance at a bowl and an outside chance at the BE title. Kudos to the staff and players for getting it together. When we don't play like keystone cops this team is actually pretty decent. Now maybe that's the reason some of us were so upset, because we saw the talent was good enough to compete, but also saw that the team wasn't disciplined enough to not lose football games. When SU drops a game because we simply got our tails whipped then it's alot easier to swallow than watching us fumble and jump offsides all day like in Jersey this year. FWIW, that game may cost us a bowl or BE title when it comes down to it.
