I'm caught wondering why you seem to feel a need to respond to my posts. We played SJSU, Stoney Brook, Illinois University and were to have played UMass last year. We played Towson, Northern Illinois, Syracuse and FSU in 2016. We played Florida A&M, FSU, Maryland and Syracuse in 2015. We played Western Carolina, Maryland, NC State and Wisconsin in 2014. We played McNeese, Michigan State, DAU and Miami (FL) in 2013. So my post was accurate and 2017 was our worst schedule in at least 5 years or more and the worst since entering the age of the American.

Because I wouldn't say our 2017 schedule was the worst in a long time as if we usually crush it on the strength of schedule and last year's anomaly was the only reason our offense appeared to be any good. 2017 SOS - 80 2016 SOS - 65 2015 SOS - 67 2014 SOS - 84 2013 SOS - 75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that made our offense better? Your original statement was that our offense wasn’t as good as it looked because of our weak schedule. I pointed out that it was reasonably comparable to previous years. But you think playing the #4 team in the country and not playing UMass helped us pad our stats even more?

So many on this board are longing for the Gulf Coast Offense to be present. Guess what? Too bad! It’s gone with Willie. Let’s see what Gilbert does with this group suited to play his offense. I personally don’t need 30 points a game as long as the offense milks the clock and the defense plays well (and these two relate). We will win a large share of games this year. Can't wait to go 7 - 5 and playing those 12 to 6 games again. That was fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at it as a complete season, we feasted on the lower schools with great numbers in stats. Yes we did pretty well against UCF and Houston but lost those games. we padded our stats against Temple and UC holding them to 7 and 3 points respectively. The schedule looked better at the end of the season then it truly was. Our season stats were misleading. At least that's my take on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But again...this team will constantly get around 25 pts and if they control clock good things will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temple O got a lot better as the season went on so I am glad we played them when we did. Still, last years D was better than the year prior and this years D could be even better as the season progresses and the newbes get some experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each one is a big loss, but when you read all of their names together...a lot of big shoes to fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be alarmist because there's a ton of time until the first game, but that could explain why the offense looks so good so far. This offense thrives on stuff between the tackles and Auggie, Hector, and Senat were a load up the middle for us.
