I see what you’re saying, but anytime you blow out an opponent that was favored, it’s going to garner tons of excitement. Especially in Big Orange Country where we’re all starved for a sign of life from our programWe looked great today but calling Missouri a big win that is gonna garner tons of excitement to the program is a bit of a stretch.

It was a big win because of a couple of things. We have not faired well at that Stadium over the years. They have a very solid QB who has a very good short and medium passing game. This was a game that offered the opportunity to prove themselves as an underdog ON THE ROAD. And the biggest reason is this: to lose this one would have put us back at the start of a total rebuild with loss of confidence in our Coach and system.We looked great today but calling Missouri a big win that is gonna garner tons of excitement to the program is a bit of a stretch.

These are the reasons this was big today. Unlike so often in the past, they did not SH!T the bed when the opportunity was there.
We certainly found a pulse in this one! Let’s hope we can build on it and keep it going. I just hope this squad remembers how good it felt and that feeling becomes a hunger. Winning is a culture that has to be instilled and we lost that along the way.I see what you’re saying, but anytime you blow out an opponent that was favored, it’s going to garner tons of excitement.
