The team exceeded expectations against EWU. That's all the credit I'll give them. In reality, the expectations were so horrific coming into this game that it would have been difficult for the team to play down to them. Watching the game, I saw far more simple EWU mistakes on offense than good plays by the UND defense. I'm tired of hearing how we should be happy to lose to good teams by "only" 3 touchdowns. I'm tired of hearing that maybe Muss should be given another year to right the ship after squeaking past the worst team in the conference and losing to one of the top 3 conference teams by "only" 21 points. There are no more excuses available for this team to be where it is and I'm not going to lower my standard for the team to "well at least we finished just 1 game under .500." Also, I'm not going to say the defense is moving in the right direction based on their play in 1 game against a team that thought it was on a bye week.
