I couldn't be happier with Saturday.  Can't argue with how great our offense has been pretty much all year.  I think only 2 games under 400 yards.
 
There is probably some hesitation.  Some with a cautiously optimistic approach based on 2 things.
 
1.  5th win last year was similar, and there wasn't a 6th win, which is the minimum benchmark in college football today.  Odds are decreased based on less games, both being on the road where our mistakes have been glaring.  But offset based on how we're playing and that one of those games is Temple.  If we don't get 6 wins, an awful lot of air comes out of that Louisville win.  (but yes, this program is in another stratosphere statistically since end of P, all of GRob).  (and yes, I think we'll beat Temple easily).
 
2. When you win a game like that, there's a certain deflating aspect to looking at your 5-5 record.  You start "what if" 'ing like crazy.  It can't be helped.  But college football is one of those sports where this stuff happens.
 
We're in a good place.  Get the 6th win, get the bowl.  Next year, we have to solve the left side of OL, make sure Funderburke makes up for Lemon's productivity, and have a QB bridge us until Zachy Football takes over in 2014.
