Message: [QUOTE="SUinNYC, post: 372446, member: 602"] We were 1-3 and would have been 1-4 if we lost. At that point, Marrone certainly would have lost the fan base. And at 1-4 with only a few wins left on the schedule, the season could have been lost. We'd have been looking at 3-8 or 4-7. And another lost season puts a lot of pressure on Gross and Marrone. Which changes recruiting. This was a very important win. At 2-3, with tough but winnable games against UCONN and Rutgers, the season is far from over. 6-6 is within the grasp. If it changes the course of Marrone's critical 4th season as head coach, depending on how things play out, this win could be the most important of his tenure. Every game is important, but this was a big one. [/QUOTE]
