It's small comfort to say the Huskies could have beaten Notre Damn (yeah, that's an intentional spelling). Considering where they were last year, I should be relatively happy with their performance, but 3 goal line opportunities resulting in only 3 points? Not so much. That game should have been in the bag. We should have beaten them by 2 TD's, even if our defense forgot to tackle on a few plays. It doesn't help to know the refs blew the call on Polk's touchdown, & then blew another on ND's 2 point conversion.
Yes, the team is much better. Yes, Locker is incredibly clutch in the 2 minute offense. Yes, we have an incredibly tough schedule. Sure, sure sure. However, when you let one slip away, all those improvements aren't going to help you sleep at night.
The way this team has been playing, I would expect them to run roughshod over the Pac-10 & get into a bowl game. On the other hand, the way this team has been playing, I would expect them to finish with a sub-500 record.
We'll see.
