Heading into the locker room at halftime Saturday, the Cougars looked lost.
Trailing 21-3 to the University of Central Florida Golden Knights — a team which they obliterated by 49 points a season ago — onlookers couldn’t help but wonder, “What happened?” more than they already have in recent weeks.
“There is a big difference between playing not to lose and playing to win,” Head coach Tom Herman said in the postgame press conference.

Playing not to lose is exactly what this team has fallen a victim to for the better portion of October, a month they would like to soon forget.
