I think he inserted himself last year after the two losses, so I think he can do it.
But to your point, I'm not sure what lit the fire last year, and whether it was internal or someone pushing him. After BYU, he needs to amp it up, and really hoping he does.
Like last year, this is a flawed playoff field, and if we can manage to make it, we have a decent shot.
