I'm with SumItUp. But it is an interesting idea.

I'm just to remind everyone that in two months, we will have WINS over ODU and UNT and be 3-1 on the season and it won't matter any more.

But to your question, sure, maybe a better team performance against a better team, but I think our offense was stronger in the BU game and obviously for publicity, better to defeat a P5 team than narrowly loose.

No such thing as a "moral victory" when you lose. Close only counts in horse shoes (and hand grenades).

What about the Holy Hand Grenade? That thing is super finicky.

Wake was a better coaching job.

Baylor was more impressive.

The win over Baylor was much more impressive IMHO. I think TG did a good job changing QB's in the middle of the WF game though. Made the game much closer than it probably would have been otherwise.
Unfortunately, the high point of our entire football history, was followed by one of the worst seasons/coaching jobs ever. TG should have been fired before he left the field after the Saint Francis debacle. The KSU and JSU games were almost as bad. They were both good teams, but we didn't even look like we belonged on the same field with them. Those performances were embarrassing.
