This might be the Buffalo Trace talking, but you think the trajectory of this team and the tone of our fan base would be different if we started the season with CCSU, App St., MSU, then Bama? I remember hearing all about how often a team's season will go down the drain after getting thumped by Bama and I can't help but wonder if a big part of that (at least for our Canes) has to do with how demoralizing it is to go up against what was essentially a semi-pro team (Bama) first game of the season. Maybe it's the optimist in me and the hope that this season isn't completely lost in week 4, but I think today's win gave our dudes a big boost in confidence that they haven't had all season. I'm not sure how this will materialize over the course of the season, but don't you think it's more likely than not that our coaches would've played some of the younger guys in the App St., MSU, and Bama games if they saw what they did today (e.g. William over Hall, Brinson over Wiggins, Arroyo over Mallory, packages for B. Smith, etc)?*
*Don't get me wrong, I still think we need an across-the-board overhaul (President, AD, and HC). Any competent HC should assemble the best roster and starting 11 regardless of a 69-0 win over a Northeastern directional school.
