With that said, Conner needs to finally grow into the shoes left by Tuel. I’m thinking one breakout game and the kid finally comes into his own and stops making mistakes. Granted, no altogether, he’s no Peyton or Tom, but I think he significantly cuts down on his errant passes and poor decisions.

All in all, I think we’re close, and based on the interviews with some of the players on CF.C this week, they’re gelling and oozing confidence. If you weren’t at the last 2 minutes of the Idaho game, you really missed out on a “come together” moment for the team. The big goal line stand by the defense had EVERYONE in that stadium going nuts. Defense, Offense, and about 10,000 of us that stayed to the end. It was huge and the confidence level couldn’t be higher heading into our real test this weekend. If ever we were to pull a big upset this season, I think this week is it. Go Cougs!
