‘"Outside of the last two weeks, we played a lot of great football this year," Jackson said. "With the three overtime losses and even the six-point losses here and there — I think there’s a lot that we can take from this year. I think there’s a lot of people in this locker room that feel this way and feel like we’re going in the right direction. We’ve just got to go back and clean up a bunch of little things. Hopefully we can start out a lot faster than we did this year. … I think we’ll have a chance of improving our record a lot."’
