I do agree with Mullen about one thing..

This team's problem is execution.

Graves missed FG against USA
Fitz tripping on 4th down
Graves missing last night
Ross dropping the ball in OT

I'm sure Mullen would point to 100 others. That's just a guy doing their job. Difference between 4-2 and 2-4.

The problem is three fold 1) we are now officially spoiled and hungry for more success. 2) despite the cries of "all is well" many of us know our recruiting has been sub-par and we`re losing ground there. 3) We want 4 mil worth of performance for 4 mil worth of salary...we ain`t getting that right now.

We did not execute, but they are now putting forth the effort.

I have no use for a team that won't fight ya.

Agreed. It's oddly a moral victory for me just to see our guys coming out fired up and playing hard.

Here's the big question going forward: Will they now completely quit after not getting positive reinforcement for the change in attitude?

It was good to get a game against an opponent that Dan believes in his heart we can beat. He showed passion, drive, relentless effort and strain. The team responded. Unfortunately, there are only 2 left on the schedule where that is the case.

This loss was heartwarming. ***
