Miller said it: “I like the fact that we’re 11-2. I guess we could be 13-0 or 12-1, but I think considering the circumstances, all of us feel like it’s been a job well done for our group. Now it really comes down to how much we can improve and how much better we can become during the next stretch, which is the Pac-12.”
