I expect us to continue to start to see the narrative change- especially if we finish this year off well.

I think the 2014 season the perception was more that it was the Dak show and that's why we did what we did. Even though that's not the reality. Dan doing what he is now with the talent he has on campus plus what he's bringing in means we aren't a "generational player" program.
Well said. To add this team is probably the most physical team that Dan has put on the field. When you're physical and can control the los it sure makes everything a whole lot easier and it intimidates the crap out of other teams.
