You can tell guys are starting to "buy in" and "get it." I get that Boise Beauty College is lower but it's not 1-aa. It's not a huge jump, not like it was 25 years ago.
When he talks about the process, it's not Sark p.r. propaganda to make himself look better. It really is a process.
I've said it before, Saban was 7-6 in year 1 at Alabama. I assume he had some talent.
Sometimes coaches can walk in and win, usually not.
If this were the end of year 2 I would certainly be more worried.
As others have said, I'm surprised by the fake punt vs Stanford and not calling TO last week after the fumble. Those are just stupid coaching decisions which I would hope don't happen regularly.
All im saying is, a win over oregon fucking state doesnt mean its time to crown their ass. Some of you need to take a step back and look at the big picture. Alabama played william and mary or some such shit yesterday but you dont see their fanbase talking about "showing improvement" we are desperate for a winner but lets not get ahead of ourselves and start proclaiming ciley mylers is taking us to the rose bowl next year because he had a game late in the year against osu where he didnt fuck it up all by himself

Haven't seen a single poster ready to crown Peterman... anything.
The team has obviously improved since the first game and anyone who doesn't see it, doesn't want to.
Oregon St. has an identical record to Illinois who UW handled in similar fashion at home much earlier this year. I don't think it's improvement to do the same thing to a similar shitty opponent at home, that's what was expected.
Sorting by record is first-level FS.
Pac 12 is much stronger than the Big. Show me an advanced rating system that has Illinois ahead of OSU.
Sorting by score is also first-level FS.
Illinois moved the ball downfield through the air consistently on our inexperienced secondary. We benefited from timely turnovers (especially Shaq's 99 yard return) or the score would have been a lot closer. Lunt passed for 9.3 ypa.

Yesterday was a good win. There's nothing to be upset about. There were a lot of positives. At the same time, we should have won. We are a better and more talented team than Oregon State.

"As I have said on several occasions, there is enough talent on this roster to beat anyone outside of Oregon in the Pac 12."
Race's 1st spin:
"Saying this team had the second best talent in the league is mick fucking stupid."
Race's 2nd spin:
"My post is a statement of fact. If you think Miles and The committee of backs are better than Price and Sankey you're mick fucking stupid."
Race's 3rd spin:
"You said we had the talent to beat everyone but Oregon"
Wow, on the 3rd try he finally gets it somewhat close to the pin.
You are making my man Bill dizzy.
SHOW IMPROVEMENT AGAINST THE BEAVERS, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

Thanks for proving my point

In contrast Mannion was largely neutralized.
