So we need to beat a #13 team at their place to even count as being on the rise?
We've played games at #4 Stanfraud, #19 ASSU (with an injured QB), and now will face #13 fUCLA on the road. Probably no team in the country can expect to win playing on the road against the #4 team. To expect to win at on the road against #13, you have to be top 5. A top 5-10 team would be a tossup on the road with a top 13 team. To expect to beat the 19th ranked team on the road, you'd have to be a top 10 team with a healthy QB. A top 15 team with a healthy QB would be a tossup at best playing #19 on the road.
Think about how little margin for error or even injury you negas are giving this team. Given the fact Price was injured for the ASU game, essentially you are suggesting that we be top 10 or we are treading water. You've ignored blowouts over teams that a non-top 20 team would feel good about, but are willing to write this team off over a top 20 road loss with an injured QB and 3 other games (Oregon, UCLA, Stanford) that even a borderline top 10 team would be underdogs in all 3 and expect to go 0-3 or 1-2.
This is the standard set by those who never wanted Sark. Nobody that would hire him and give him any benefit of the doubt would ever suggest this was a do or die game. Huge game? Certainly. Do or die for Sark? Certainly not.
