Most importantly Long Beach's three losses have been by a combined 20 points, a far cry from the blowouts endured last year. Being competitive in every game is a huge step forward.
The key to being in the Big West race come late February will be the 'Niners play on the road. After going 1-16 away from the Pyramid in Dan Monson's first year, this year's team fell to 1-3 with the loss to USF.
Playing BYU and Wisconsin in their own buildings and scaring the hell out of them means a lot but not unless it pays dividends (i.e. wins) on the road in the Big West.
Simply holding serve at the Pyramid wont be enough to get it done.
