That win feels (not a good word choice but I hope you get the point) more like a lose than a win.

No, this feels a lot different than south Alabama. The team certainly has issues but I was happy to see life out of certain people. I don't who the competition was, we have never seen Shump run like he did yesterday. Graham actually had a good game at CB. Green looked good at TE. Lastly, Fitz actually showed some accuracy.

Well atleast we didn't tap out on the third count. Showed a lil resolve and raised that hand and started waving it in the air! Gave us a little bit of life heading into the bye Week ! We got to execute much better and find away to Beat Auburn.. If we do there's still a hope for us going bowling this year!

I don't think we're a good football team right now, but our offensive performance from the time we were down 14-6 until the end of the game was very encouraging.

We got beat on every single 50/50 ball that they threw. Unacceptable against UMass.

The Auburn game is the season. Absolute must win in every sense of the word. And in spite of their win against LSU, I don't think they're very good either.

Yep, the win kept us on life support for a couple of weeks. Somehow Doc Mullen has got to find the right medicine to get the team off life support. He's got 2 weeks to do so. Otherwise AU will pull the plug on us.

You sound like a fun guy to be around.
Real positive outlook.
I'd suggest savoring this win. I got tired of hearing this sentiment during the 99 season with Sherrill. We had to come from behind to win most games.
This team moved more forward than backward yesterday.
So I'll take the win and hope the team can build on it.

Feels similar to the 2014 UAB game to me. Defense allowed way too many points to a decent-but-not-great G5 team. Hopefully no long-term consequences.

Then that makes two of us that are glad you aren't at my house. Don't get me wrong my outlook on life isn't determined by the actions of 18-22 year olds, win or lose. But don't get warm fuzzy feelings after playing umass in a close game, good for you if you do.

After watching football yesterday I am dreading the EB even more.

I think we need to take a step back and realize that there will be no easy wins this year. Against the smaller teams we will have to play hard and see if we can't grind out some Ws. Against teams like AU and AR we just have to remember that anything can happen any given Saturday. It's gonna be a Grind, but I'm up for it. Hail State!
