As I said in a prior post the term "moral victories" is the most ridiculous in the English Language. The Northwestern loss was a bad one that could come back to bit us like the Rutgers game last year. The USC game was enouraging but we might have had a shot to win that one with a better start and better decision-making. For the rest of the year anything less than a win will be a disappointment. It's not that we are better than everybody but they are all winnable games against mediocre teams, (Missouri will be tougher than the rest but concede it as a loss yet).
 
It's certainly possible to see encouraging things in a loss and there were some encouraging things in the first two games. That doesn't make them "victories" even though you can see that victory might be possbile in future games, expecially if we keep gaining 500 yards a game. But we reduce the impact of that production with mistakes and failed opportunities and we've had both in every game so far.
 
We are clearly a more potent team than we have been but we've got to play better football than we are.
