Pagano said he saw a different team during practice this week.

“Energy, focus, execution,” he said. “The guys had fun. They went out there and busted their butts. Just a ton of energy and a ton of juice. They understand there are very few opportunities. They understand that it’s a privilege. We get to do this. We don’t have to do this. We get to do this. So they responded.”

Well, that is all good, but I see this as one of the few games where this "team" can possible eke (Yes, that is the correct word, not "eek") out a win. Maybe Tennessee at home, but the rest could be very ugly. I would surmise that Ballard will use this game as a measure to see if Pagano has truly lost this team. If they come out like they did last week, he is gone at the bye week. If they come out and play hard, he will make it until Black Monday, possibly.
