Hey Matt -- as always, thank you so much for the quality analysis here. Let me know where I can subscribe to your podcast...
I'm curious though. Watching this game, I actually felt better about the team than at any point last year. Is that because my bar has dropped so low? Penalties and final score aside, we seem to be a much better coached team this year -- sounds like statistically we are not. But last year felt so much like we were just running around hoping Daniels or Ayomanor could pull off some heroics. This year we play more like a team and for some non trivial amount of the game seemed to belong on the same field as SMU. Last year really felt like a hapless high school team struggling to compete. Am I deluding myself?
