Well that sure wasn’t pretty, but the job got done. Saturday’s game probably did a good job of humbling the Eagles, and sometimes you have to win ugly games (very ugly) and show some resiliency. The Sun Belt has proven to be no joke, so the competition shouldn’t be discounted. There is clearly a lot of room for improvement, as we knew, but there were some silver linings.
For one, the clock management and composure down a score in the waning minutes, fantastic. That’s not something we’ve experienced in quite some time. Not to mention a game winning field goal.
