Alright, I'm sick of losing and still fearing 0-12, but once again I see a few positives.
1. May has finally brought some (pro-Cowboys) danger back to our kick returns
2. Our defense didn't allow a single third down conversion (whaaaaaaaat?)
3. We outgained our opponent in yards (373-314)
4. We managed an interception!
And yes, I'm well aware of all our mistakes and that Appalachian State isn't a world beater. I noticed our three turnovers and the penalties that killed our mojo.
BUT...
I'd argue Appalachian State wasn't the worst team left on our schedule, and that with a few of our mistakes not happening, this would have been a very close game even score-wise (if, but, potentially, sure... but it's all we've got). Air Force looked bad today (though I'm not confident we can hold them), CSU has regressed a lot, Nevada looks iffy, UNLV is UNLV, and San Diego State lost to South Alabama...
So yeah... while the score was bad, I don't think our play was terrible overall. I do think we're improving week by week, so maybe by the time we play CSU, UNLV, or SDSU, we'll be able to pull a stunner.
If you had talked to me two hours ago, I probably wouldn't have agreed, though.
