It seems like a better season than 5-4 although I wouldn't have said that early on. Bad loss to Akron. Extremely frustrating. Inept loss to Duke, though they are a pretty decent team.
We lost to #3 ND and of note we are the ONLY team that has been within a field goal of them in the last 5 minutes of the game.
We lost to #4 Mich and (aside from their loss to #3 ND) of note we are the ONLY team to lead them in the 4th quarter, much less the only team to come within 2 TDs of beating them.
If we hadn't lost Larkin that week, or perhaps If we had used Bowser instead of our other backs, I think we would've been able to keep get some first downs going and burn clock to keep UM from eventually catching up in the 4th quarter.
