Don't look now, BL ... but I'm beginning to sense an "uptick" in your confidence in this team ...
1. It is only stating the obvious to say that our overall QB play post-Orlovsky has been well, well, well below conference average. Whatever you think about anything else on our team, the biggest unknown coming into this year was did we have a QB who had adequate talent for our level of play. Having seen last week's game, I think we do. Do I think he'll make more than his share of mistakes this year -- yes, I do. But you can reduce mistakes through coaching and experience. While, for the most part, you can either make throws or you can't.
2. I expected the D to "get" Brown's scheme better and be very good this year. Obviously they were better than very good against a very inferior opponent. Now let's see if they can be very good against an opponent who is "believed" to have superior talent to us.
