I think having close games is really good for the team, especially as prep for the MACC and the bowl game, where you're up against better teams. You can't blow everybody out because of the balance that's developed in the MAC and because of the irregular scheduling of the final month. The Cats had short weeks for the last two games, while BGSUcks had an extra two days to prep and Fiami had a more normal schedule (3 games in 13 days (the 2nd at home) instead of 3 games in 12, including two road games in 6 days). You never really know the mettle of a team until they get into a close game. The Cats showed a sense of urgency (a good thing) but no panic. They should stack up well against their next two opponents, whoever they might be.
