Here's my list:- It's homecoming after not having football for a few years.
- The player's jerseys are dedicated to a cause. The jerseys honoring the children's hospital is an important reminder for several reasons.
- UAB has played their last two games about as well as anticipated. They held down a Coastal Carolina offense, and they nearly defeated a good UNT team in Denton.
- Just when we got a rhythm developed on offense, Bonnette went down. I think that still needs to get worked out.
- Something is going on with the defensive line. We've struggled to get pressure it seems. Maybe I'm missing something.
- At the end of the day, we're a young team who has played 5 weeks straight against a non stop wave of difficult emotional scheduling.
- We played a can't lose game against NWSt.
- We played the biggest game in recent memory at the Joe and got hammered.
- We returned the next week to go into WKy and came away with a dramatic win on the road.
- We went back east to SC, and we dominated an SEC east team for 3 quarters. We didn't finish the job.
