I'm as excited as anyone as to our hot start overall and our most recent W (to the point that I've begun stalking crows and looking up crow recipes) but unlike in years past I think I need to at least attempt to be the voice of reason on here (apologies to all in advance)...
While last night was definitely a Win worthy of celebration given the circumstances of the long distance travel, historic venue, and the importance of the game to both Teams..., and our overcoming the best efforts of the Big Ten Refs..., the reality may well be that UCLA, while clearly having talent on both sides of the ball and within their staff...., just isn't a very good team yet... Case in point, Sam Houston State waxed Hawaii (the team UCLA barely beat in their opener) yesterday...
Now our guys have won against the teams scheduled and that's all that can be asked of them but the real key to our entire season may lie hidden within how they deal with this Win and approach the next two games on the schedule: Charlotte and Maryland...
Charlotte is dangerous only because we should beat them handily but a lack of attention to detail could allow them to throw a wrench in things and Maryland because they may actually be the first Real Big Ten Team we will encounter this season who might give us a serious test...
If we Win both those games, while looking better in each outing, then I'm jumping on the bandwagon instead of just jogging alongside...
I'll also begin hunting crow in earnest (to be served immediately following our Homecoming Win against Nebraska...😉😎)...
