''I'd rather be an underdog and take our shots,'' he said. ''We're not going to stray away from who we are as people and as a program, but we're going to take it one race at a time, learn from each race, make adjustments and by the time we get to the Mid-American Conference championship, we're going to have the best versions of ourselves out there.
