I think there is some decent real estate between "dominate every quarter" and "losing to the #78 team in the country at the end of the third quarter."
shiz, happens. We were sloppy, paid for it, and came back. Teams above us and below us have done the same. Some "better" teams have slacked and paid for it with losses. We haven't. Michigan was outplayed by CU til their qb dropped. Wisconsin barely beat and almost didn't beat an fcs team. FSU got shellacked by a now 1 loss Louisville team that depends on a qb to have the best game of his life every game to win. No team is immune to faults. But hey, we've had our and fought through them. Enjoy it rather than complaining.
