Did the Team Need This Loss to Propel It to Its Goals?

Let me start by saying I hate losing. I hated seeing this team lose to Oregon. It's worse that it was going into an off week as we have to eat this turd-burger for 2 weeks. 

The more I think about it the more I'm thinking it could be good for the team. It might help them to stay humble, work hard and not get complacent this season. I don't want to call out specific players, but I'm guessing some people that were looking forward to a first round NFL paycheck might be thinking that they are not guaranteed anything right now. If anyone was reading the press and believing their own hype, well, that is likely off the table after the trip home from Eugene. 

Urban Meyer never had an undefeated NC team. He had hungry, angry, underdog believing teams with a chip on their shoulder that kicked tail by the end of the season. If this loss helps create that type of team, I'm all for it. 

Go Bucks! Beat Nebraska! Beat TCUN!!

How's that for putting BBQ sauce on that burger?
