The idea that we're slowly developing into a better team

just doesn't apply this year.

Cook never fully came back as the Cook of last year - for whatever reason our offense was funky right up to the point where he got hurt and we catastrophically collapsed down an entire level due to a huge drop-off between starter and back up in the QB room.

At that point the season became either the defense become transcendent instantly (which they've done a little bit) and Pyne showing some kind of miraculous development (which he did a little bit).

Then we had this game with Oklahoma which took on the flavor of the supernatural. Two scoop and scores? Pyne throwing a ridiculous pass to Burden and then to Wease? And let's not discount Oklahoma sucking badly, I mean they really sucked.

So now we still don't know what we have, but if recent trends continue it's possible, we could win out.

When that happens it won't feel like 'we're finally playing our best game', it'll feel like we've been forty days and forty nights in the wilderness and God is now somehow delivering us to the promised land.
