That was a weird game. I knew the defensive staff was going to be gutted, so I was just going to live with whatever the defense did. So I was hoping the offense would look good and show some promise. If they had lost 45-35, maybe things would be slightly less hyped now, but not a significant difference.
As for feelings for the game itself: I wasn't expecting to win, but once they took the lead in the 4th quarter, I got very interested in the result of the game. If they had lost, it would've been more of a meh, as the things that I would complain needed to be fixed were going to be.
