To those who gave up in the first half, games have two halves.
To those crowing now, games have two halves.
To beat a legit opponent, you need to win both.

I'd sign for 9-3 and consider that a great deal.

It’d be interesting to see someone knowledgeable break down what happened with Temple’s pressure. Early on, it was pretty consistent and effective in slowing us down and causing chaos. Then it suddenly stopped entirely, and we’ve pretty much been able to do what we wanted ever since. Was it just improved line play? Different play calls? Something Temple did consciously? It was a light switch situation … they got pressure, we struggled. Pressure stopped and immediately we were in control and looking good.

To be fair, some people are just rooting against their own team this year--they don't like all the transfers, they're mad Franklin was fired, etc.
The time management at the end of the first half was questionable and the failed red zone possession need fix but we were always fine today

The positives are that that Becht is going to keep us in a lot of games and he seems to have a good rapport with multiple receivers.

Unfortunately, I think there are more red flags than reassuring points. The linebackers are fine, but other than Rojas there are no playmakers. Pass defense against substandard wide receiving units has been more than fine, but they have looked shaky in run defense. Similar to Franklin’s time, both sides of the line look pathetic. People were clamoring for a game changer at defensive tackle and we didn’t get one. I’m sorry but the transfers all appear to suck even though they are all well above 300 pounds.

Was not really that bad. Poor execution in the first half where we blew scoring opportunities, played a lot better the 2nd half. Rocco appears to be a real good QB.
