The three-word mantra from Chris Ash after this 31-17 loss to Wisconsin: "We're getting better." He said them three times, in fact, in the same answer about the team's latest performance, and if you're an optimist, you'll probably agree with his assessment.
"We're getting better," Ash said. "We've just got to continue to work. Our focus continues to be on ourselves. That's really what we have to continue to do. Our team is getting better. That's what I see when I watch the film and I watch us play. We're not just getting where we want to be fast enough.
