For me, I became a believer that this season could be a success after the Tulsa game. When we took control of the game and did not let it slip away like so many games in the past I actually started to think that we had turned a corner.
What game convinced you that a bowl was possible, or even a winning season?
Here's to finishing the season with 8 wins!
Pony Up and Beat Nevada!!!!!!!

The last defensive play of the UTEP game. It was furthered by coming from behind to beat Tulane. The whole attitude of the team has changed.

For me it's a tough call between ECU and Tulsa. I like the ECU win because it came after a heartbreaking loss at WSU followed by a blowout loss to TCU. In the past, the team would have folded after two losses like that. This team came back and upset a solid team (that turned out to be the conference champs). For me anyway, that win indicated that this team was different. I wasn't totally convinced, however, until the Tulsa game.

UTEP was really intense and the D showed some moxie we have not seen in a generation or two.

I think it was UAB that kicked things off. I really think however the UTEP game solidified the changes this team has gone through.

For me it started with ecu where the found a way to win even when that meant having to score on defense and on special teams. But the the Tulsa game solidified it for me when we all watched a true freshmen come in and take control of this team. With the exception of the marshall game I have seen nothing but positive from this team. I am looking forward to the big game tomorrow to what would be a great end to the season.

Even though SMU lost against Navy I was totally impressed with the defensive effort as we had a legimate chance to win the game ----ok, SMU gave up a bunch of rushing yards but not like pass years where Navy would have run all over the Mustangs. I starting believing that better times where ahead in confernce play.
