In The Trenches: Under Pressure

What a game. I was not surprised as we got closer to game time because I thought we could keep it close if we were able to build on the success of the SJSU game. Most of all, casual observation showed us a team who had found some confidence. That confidence was on display and matched the confidence Baylor would bring to the contest. I believe we leave this game and move forward with our confidence intact, knowing that we can hang with the big boys in the conference and that we belong on the field on Saturdays. It is my hope that it pays dividends and results in a string of interesting and competitive games.
