But your question wasn't whether Texas was a legit #2 team in the nation or not...it was if our team has been tested yet.
And going on the road, to the defending national champs house, to play in the most hyped game of the season to that point, at night which had historically not resulted in great success, with a lot of "green" / "untested" players on D...
Texas may have not given us everything that some in the media expected, but I guarentee you the Coaches and players feel that they have passed some significant "tests" to this point of the young season. That game being a major test on several different levels in and of itself.
Maybe your question is more along the lines of, "has any of the 3 teams we've faced really 'stacked up' with us talent wise / have we clearly been the best team on the field so far in each of our games?" If that's what you meant, then I definitely agree with you. We have been the best team by far.
But I would say we are the clear favorite against Penn State. Yet after being the better team last year (in my opinion) and losing that match up, starting Big Ten play this coming Saturday against the Co-Big Ten Champs, struggling to 'get out of the gates' last week vs. a relativly weak UC team...I believe the tests are going to continue to present themselves.
But the win against Texas was definitely a HUGE test for this team and we obviously passed with flying colors.
