Do You Appreciate Wins More? Not Taken for Granted?

Something Mike West has said to me a few times is, "Winning Games in College Football is Hard," and I agree with him. The degree of speed, athleticism, coaching, etc. is so huge over the typical person, that I shake my head often.

I think when you win over 10 games ever year....you begin to assume wins, and take it for granted. I know that now I cherish every win by Our Beloved Ducks, and assume that everyone we play can beat us....as this year has shown. If we played the teams now that we lost to earlier....I believe we would beat them with the improvement we have shown--agree?

I am also appreciating the receiver corps we have now, as having a combo of Dak, Stewart, McClellan and Jamari is incredibly rare, and I don't think we will have a group like this for a while again. A shame they have rarely been all healthy at the same time, but they are now--so let's kick butt!

And while the run blocking is still below average, it is improving, and it is great to have explosion plays added to the offense.

What are your thoughts on winning, the receivers, and explosion plays?
