But, if there was ever an "L" that stirs those red & blue juices, that was it.

Later that year we trailed Utah State 41-17 and I told those around me, keep cheering, keep up the encouragement, the Dawgs are gonna win this game. Some thought I was nuts. Well, I was wrong....but we did rally and force OT.

Back in August a few posters were saying this 2018 team has the makings of the 2012 team.... I hope they're right, but I sure haven't seen any of that magic yet. Well, tomorrow would be a VERY good time for the '18 magic to show up. That's what I want to see...play like the game matters to you. Punch them in the mouth! (not literally, we don't need 15 yd penalties and ejections). Don't quit...keep fighting.

Meeechigan State....Dawgs trailed by two TDs with only 2 mins left, we won.
Oklahoma State....Dawgs trailed by three TDs early in the 4th qtr, we won.
All is true, BUT....J'mar Smith is not Colby Cameron and none of the teams you mentioned were in the top 10 and we were ranked right up there with aTm that game. Big differences.
