Looking for a Silver Lining

[Peatearpan]

Is there a possibility that we are only using a portion of the play book, and we will open it up against UCF or Cincy?

We actually had 7 TFL against SMU, our best number yet in that category this season. Also managed to get an INT.

Anybody else want to make a desperate attempt at finding a silver lining on defense?

Their is no lining in losing and co timing the losing streak to fbs teams. We suck until we don't.

Isn't that what a silver lining is?

We need a win in the worst way.  Cincy is a likely loss.  The playbook should be wide open.

I see this as a long term -like 4 or 5 years to get a consistent wing team. We will win before that but we will show consistency on the back half. Sick with it BULLS.

If you just look at the teams in our ballpark according to the Colley ratings, Tulsa, ECU, Tulane, and University of Clown Football are actually winnable. Temple and Houston are actually ranked in the 50s/60s. Since we are on an uptrend in general, I'll take the optimistic view that we win 3 more. And yes, we do it with young stars, not folks who are at the end of their ropes giving up.

At 1-4, we are only -1 in turn over ratio (4 INTs thrown vs 4 picked & 3 fumbles lost vs 2 recovered)

Usually teams with losing records have much worse turnover ratios, so the defense has that going for them (not huge numbers, but it is something to build on)

Red-Zone Scores: 16 outta 20 (TD's are 12 outta 20)

That should be 13 outta 20. The td pass to Carter in the first half that was negated by a penalty was a thing of beauty.

And it shows we have been playing better teams. And we will get better.

Go BULLS !!!
