Non-conference season observations

We could very well come out of the non-conference season with a losing record, and still be a better team at the end of it than we were last year at the same point. This is an atypical schedule, with lots of hard game and some easy games and not nearly as many in between as the last few years. So, we will probably get our heads handed to us a few times, and win some blowouts. But this is a more mature team than last year, and we had the Canada trip to jump-start the season, so I am hopeful we will see some good things. Go Trojans!
