We played, perhaps, the most pivotal game of the year and lost to North Texas. It can be argued that the team got progressively weaker and fragmented as the season wore on. It seems to me this game could be season-defining. Several factors appear to be trending upward--Sokol, receivers, healthy rb's, DEFENSE. We will be at about full strength in terms of health. Playmakers have emerged throughout. Are we poised to move beyond merely competitive in CUSA and assert ourselves as a dominant force in the western division?
