The last two weeks were painful but if you step back you can see there has been improvement. The past several years against teams that were on our level or below us (Rutgers, Maryland, Michigan State, etc) we either lost those games or squeaked by. This year we are beating them by double digits. Against the superior teams (Indiana & Oregon) we lost by three points and had positioned ourselves to win. Yes you can argue Oregon is not at their typical level but they did have better talent across the board after years of elite recruiting. It sucks Rhule is not a one year miracle worker like Cignetti or Chesney at UCLA but at this point in the season we have shown improvement. Now if we stumble down the stretch and have a horrible November like the past few years we will need to revisit this thought.
A side note that yes Dylan got the victory over us but I think we can all agree Colandrea was still an upgrade. If Dylan was at the helm against Indiana or Oregon I think those are the same blowout losses we endured in the past. Colandrea's scrambling abilities have kept us in these games.
