So as I took a day and a half to decompress from this awful loss (awful because it's a home loss to a rebuilding State) and for some strange reason I find myself encouraged by a home loss where we entered the red zone 4 times and came away with 6 freakin' points.
Maybe it's because last week's performance against LSU was such a football abortion anything might look better. Maybe because we saw a young quarterback emerge as a guy without a deer-in-the-headlights look about him. Maybe it's because Will Muschchamp's D actually resembled a Muschchamp D.
