As far as the team going in the right direction, I'm thinking long term here, not short term. Short term, yeah, lot of youth and inexperience out there, lots of mental mistakes, they're correcting them as the season goes though. If they continued to make the same mistakes at the same frequency, the future would be pretty dismal. From what was mentioned in the post-game reports, the team hasn't had a lot of confidence in the locker room after games, which can be expected the way they started. There was a different energy after last week. If they can ride that and continue to improve, then yes I would say the team is in the right direction long term and have a good future.

It must be dreadful to be a Domer fan these days and I will not pile on. I would say that my belief is that you may be seeing things through a very different perceptual lens than an unbiased observer. If they stick within 4 touchdowns of UCLA this week, I will be very surprised.
