Only sports could create preseason predictions that ranged from 2-3 wins up to someone thinking 11 wins was on the table. That then leads to overreactions about the teams performance when they are living up to "expectations." The Tulsa loss was painful and I hope the coaches (and players) learned from it. My only fear against Temple was a hangover effect from the Tulsa debacle, and that fortunately did not play out. We may look back at that play by Chris Carter running down the Temple defender as the "QF v. Cuse" moment for this squad. I am just happy that we finally won a conference game and am cautiously optimistic about our chances on Thursday. Hate to mention the 'p' word but that's kind of what I've been looking at. I realize all that really matters is the w/l's as far as progress is but looking at SMU, where they left so many points on the field that could have affected the outcome ... Tulsa, where before you can win you have to actually be ahead in a game and they did that but couldn't close it out ... and then Temple, where you were favored for the first time this year and did close it out. Next step is winning when you weren't supposed to like Thursday. May or may not happen but I don't think it's a step back if we don't. This rebuild project isn't happening in one year ..... although that would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tulsa game was a bad loss. But I think we can beat ECU, Houston, Tulane and UCF. I dont see us beating Cinci, but everybody else is beatable. Well it starts on Thursday night to see if it can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really wish this wasn't a short week for ECU. An away game on a Thursday night vs anyone it a tough win. It is the price we pay to get the price they pay.

The only small measure of positive news is that ECU did not get home from Houston (due to weather) until 5:00am on Sunday. But yeah, being the away team on a short week is always difficult.
