[In the past, Hill's teams have shown a mysterious tendency to stumble in October (5-9 since '01) -- a problem he attributes in part to a letdown after facing several bigger-name opponents in September -- only to dominate in November and December, going 20-2 over the same span.] The thing I like about this schedule, ... is it gives us a chance to build toward something [later in the season] for the first time since I've been here.
