impact on the psyche of us Coug fans for obvious reasons.

But if you took Saturday's game, made it against another #17 team on the road with a freshman QB and a backup LB starring at RB before getting injured.... I think people would be spending more time looking at the positives.

There's actually a TON of young talent coming back for next year, with more experience. We have a playmaker at QB, the makings of a solid and talented OL, a bunch of guys returning to the secondary....

The alarm item is this: We HAVE to put together a strong year next year, or the recruiting is going to run dry. We're up against the wall on that.
