The last two Saturdays have featured much drama and required late rallies to win, yet the No. 21 Cowboys are 5-0 as they ready for a trip to West Virginia.
And there's a genuine belief that the tough wins will prove beneficial.
“We're a confident football team right now,” said quarterback J.W. Walsh. “We haven't won exactly how you would want to win, but coming away with two close victories early on the season is going to help our football team in the long run.
“We have a lot of experience with those games, and having it under our belt is going to help on the road in a tough place like West Virginia.
