UAB on the road was great, but I'd have to say ECU. Really felt it when Padron came in for the injured BLM. I knew Kyle would be special. The OL has got to protect him!!!

I starting believing that better times where ahead in confernce play.


This. Of any team on the schedule, I thought they'd roll us, just based on system and discipline. Even in the loss, I came away very impressed.

Definitely the win over UConn (Miracle on Mockingbird). Seemed like it at the time.

Its just been a really long turn. The blinker signal finally went off when we landed in Hawaii.

The ECU game. On paper, at almost every positional matchup, that team appeared bigger and better than us, yet we still won. Nice that one of our big wins was against the conference champs.

The win over Tulsa wholeheartedly convinced me this thing had turned around. They way the players came out and dominated Tulsa on their own field left me breathless. Padron especially was impressive considering it was his 1st start as a true freshman.

Tulsa, when I decided Padron was the real deal.
