We lost to USA and ISU because we were still putting the pieces together. Figuring out the QB situation (coaching), new DC (coaching), struggling secondary (talent), struggling OL (coaching and talent), WR dropping balls (talent).
Out of those items, the secondary is the one major remaining issue. OL looked much better, but will be challenged more against better defenses. Luckily, our remaining schedule looks mostly winnable.
So, there’s plenty of reason to cheer on this team and support them. I’m not talking about pumping sunshine and ignoring the flaws and mistakes. But there’s no reason to continue bringing up USA or persistently being negative. Not unless you simply want to be miserable and attempt to bring everyone else on this board with you.
But if that’s your thing, maybe you just take up sadomasochism and spare the rest of us.
