And then obviously when you've got a young talented kicker who's starting to gain some confidence and grow, I think that helps, as well. I think he's made six out of his last seven field goals, so that's been a big part of it. But I think we all know when you get in the red zone, you've got to score touchdowns against good teams. The field goals are good, but if you want to go on the road and beat a good team, you've got to score touch- downs when you have the opportunity. You mentioned earlier this year when Jake Pinegar was struggling that dur- ing practice he was still hitting the kicks. Now that he's hitting them in the games, have you seen any kind of change in him in practice? Not really. I think it goes back to what I was telling you guys before. I was seeing, we were seeing great things from Pinegar at practice every single day. He was doing some really good things. But we all know that going into Beaver Stadium, it's dif- ferent. That's a different environment. I can't imagine there were too many games in Ankeny, Iowa, that were similar to Beaver Stadium. Obviously, it's different for him. But he's been great in practice. He's worked really hard, both on and off the field. Obviously, having some success on Saturdays allows him to continue grow- ing and building on it. But I think it goes back to me saying before that we're a developmental program. We're going to recruit these guys and we're going to love them and we're going to work them hard and coach them hard and develop them. It's no different than when we talked about drops [by the wide receivers]. If you see these guys and they're investing and doing everything that they should be doing, that's going to allow the coaches and the players themselves to have a lot of confidence, that they're going to have the success that they want to have, and I think that was the same thing with Jake. He was really hitting the ball well in practice. We've done a really good job of creating competition at that position, so I think that's helped, as well. But yeah, it was great to see him go out and play well [against Iowa]. We needed it, and he needed it.
