Yes, Providence College was better than perhaps we expected, but that's no excuse.<BR/><BR/>Had they lost to Providence, I would have had severe doubts about this team. I have moderate doubts, even today, but at least they win what they're supposed to win.<BR/><BR/>Now for the "fun" part of the schedule.
