So that we don't take anything for granted against other teams, or are we just that weak and got exposed? Or FIU just that talented? or combo of all or some of these things. Or is it the players that we are missing from suspensions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the positives you have to look at is the growth of the young guys from the first half to the second. no stupid mistakes the second half. We seem to have a QB that somehow finds a way to make plays. He is a winner. Getting Ponton back (hopefully next week will be huge). Just like last year we coudn't win consistently with just a running game, we can't win just throwing the ball. We need a balanced offense to be effective against better teams.The good news is we are where we expected to be. the young guys have some experience under their belt. Now we just need to cut out the freaking penalties. My only fear for this team is thae kicking game will do us in. I don't care if it is because of bad snaps or whatever, Benzer has yet to make a field goal in college. That scares me. Alvarado made a nice kick to get us out of bad field position on his last kick. That was clutch. Bottom line, we are young and but it looks like extremely talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is now the 2nd game in a row we've lost because of our kicker, might be 2-0 right now if not for him. I cannot even begin to count how may games we've lost by 3 points or less in the last 2 years. You got a good young QB and solid defense, you'll still make some noise.

Poor job recruiting a kicker landed us with our current kicker who is an all-purpose type player...he played WR for us last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
