The issue is that if we lose to Charlotte or Temple, we are losing to the bottom fourth of college football teams again. We should be beating these teams. Ironically, we got blown out by UAB, which is ranked below USF. Rice is the only team we have beaten that is ranked above USF, and they are two spots above USF at 104.
FBS Wins
Rice -104 Technically, we punched upwards here.
UCONN -128
NAVY-112
FBS Loses
WKU- 78
UAB-109 It was a pathetic showing that we got blown and exploited on defense and got outcoached.
FAU-100 It was a pathetic showing that we got blown and exploited on defense and got outcoached.
Memphis-38 Played a close game. We could have won if it wasn't for terrible refing (fumble or tackle on WR not called for PI) and questionable decisions on 4th down inside our own 20.
BAMA-8 We played a close game, but they had their backup QBS playing, which sucked. They just ran at USF to win in the fourth and took advantage of broken coverage for a few deep balls.
So we can rise to the occasion and play with the top 50 teams, but we are getting blown out and allowing 50+ points against teams ranked slightly above and below USF. This is a major concern, and the coaches and team need to fix it.
We have the following three teams left: Temple, UTSA, and Charlotte.
Temple-119
UTSA-56
Charlotte-116
I hope we beat the teams we are supposed to beat and play a good game against UTSA, perhaps even finally getting an upset win this year. The good news is that we have had three wins where we made adjustments at halftime and came back to win.
