Might not be the best we've had, but they did not quit and refused to finish losers. People in the bars during the win were happy I can confirm.

I've been very critical of the team this year, and frankly the overall results could have been a little better even in a rebuilding year given the schedule, but I agree that this team plays hard and to the end and (knock on wood) I don't remember anyone getting in trouble recently. The emergence of AJ O as a featured back is a good thing. I think Sebastian Smith, Jordan Reid and Brendan Cope have great futures and our O-line performed solidly for their experience and should only get better. I definitely think we are a contender next year, but at the same time I have my doubts that we have the quarterback play needed for a real shot at a title.

Also, when I say I don't think this is a bowl-worthy team, I'm just talking results. 6-6 against our schedule doesn't belong in a bowl. It just doesn't. It doesn't mean I think the team doesn't work hard; I know they do. I'm sure Miami does too and they're 2-10. I'm sure EMU does and they're 2-10. It doesn't mean I wouldn't enjoy seeing the seniors get one more crack at the field.

I'm quite positive next year we'll be better. I hope that we'll be significantly better.
