There are weeks your team doesn’t show up as much as you’d like. There are teams where the opponent draws up an exceptional gameplan and plays better than their record shows. There’s a little bit of everything.
Trying to downplay how good of a year this has been and how good this team is is pointless. Just enjoy good football because this team has given us more of that than almost every team in your lifetime, regardless of how old you are that statement is true.
The sting of this loss almost evaporates (not completely but significantly) with a win in Tempe. Chin up.
