Wait, expectations aren't high? Did the reporter just pull this out of an orifice? I am one sentence in and cringing.

Me too,
Media and poll voters don’t expect much. We were 5 & 6; lost to Sac, and our schedule is tougher, The time to prove them wrong is just weeks away.
Success to me is do several of the following, doesn’t need to be all:
1) Beat San Jose
2) Beat a team in our conference we haven’t beaten since we joined, either Montana or Eastern Washington These are both on the road
3) Beat everyone in FCS in California
4) Have a winning record
