8 wins and an Axe victory is good for a B, just as it was last year. We had 7 exciting home wins where a very young team showed a resilience that this program isn’t particularly known for, and there was good development across the season for Lindsey. Would have been great to win one on the road...
We get Michigan, Penn State and Indiana and dodge Ohio State, Oregon, USC. Based on the turbulent states of Michigan and Penn State and uncertainty around IU’s long term success (though i’m sure they will still be good) it is a golden opportunity where there’s no chalked up preseason loss.
I think if nothing else the returning players definitely could be a motivator for Koi to stick around one more year. After that he’s almost certainly NFL bound
B. We won, defense played great and the whole team was resilient against the toughest and best UNM team in decades. Especially given that this was practically a road game for us i am happy
Jalen Smith completed 2 difficult catches to convert pivotal scores. We would not have won without him. That said, the other Smith is a close second and was a similar level of pivotal on defense.
