I'm in the camp that thinks a win is a win. Need a bright spot? How about a bend but don't break defense that limited the opponent (one that can typically put up a few points) to 16 points?

This is what I was talking about when I said in an earlier post that UW fans sometimes hold their teams to a "lofty" standard (much like Texas fans, who get a lot of well-earned criticism for the same). Unless you're in the BCS title chase and seeking "glamour points" (don't think UT or UW are in that discussion, even though both should have good seasons), any day on which you win is a great day.

Even the much maligned Texas faithful should be pleased with what they saw Saturday. Granted, the Mean Green of North Texas are not exactly a perennial powerhouse, but 96 total yards of offense for the opponent, with the only score coming on a fumble recovery in the end zone, ought to be a sign that the toughness and work ethic Charlie Strong promised to restore might well be delivered. BYU, who absolutely flattened them last season, will be a better test, to be sure....
