We lost to a horribad Georgia tech team that lost to the Citadel the next week. The 2 teams we have played since with losing records are ECU and UConn. You were saying?
People are seriously talking about the defense as being one of the best in the country because of a 47 rank. The top 2 offenses we have played are SMU (#6) and Navy (#34). Those games didn’t exactly go well defensively. Let’s see how we hold up against Memphis and UCF who are 2 of the top offenses in the country and go from there. My guess is it won’t be as pretty as Temple or Cincinnati.
The Orlando school has a true freshman QB this year and their step back was to 7-2. Cincy started a true freshman last year and went 11-2. There is only so much you can blame on “transition years” when a quarter or more of your players are leaving every season.
Houston has talent, but their defense is poor. They have played everybody pretty close. Only team to beat them by more than 15 was Oklahoma. They will be one of the favorites to win the conference next year if King doesn’t transfer.
75% of FBS could name their score against ECU or UConn so using these games a guide for performance in games to come is probably just going to set us up for disappointment.
“The kind of game Navy can get away with against this kind of team. But you get a team like Tulane in here next week and you aren’t going to get away with it.” Sums up the state of the program right now.
Too bad there was no skycam with overhead shot. He clearly scored if you know anything about geometry but unfortunately couldn’t see the goal line from the camera angle.
Wasn’t it 10-2? With the 10 wins over
San Jose State
Stony Brook
Illinois (2-10)
Temple
East Carolina
Cincy (4-8)
Tulane
Uconn
Tulsa
Texas Tech (6-7)
Were we actually rebuilt or did we play a bunch of awful teams?
