I think they are where they are right now (#8) mainly based on the bowl win over Florida last year, and a fairly easy schedule so far this year. That bowl game was probably Florida's worst performance of the year for them. FWIW, I didn't think Lville was all that great last year either. Southern Miss & FIU played them very tough, they were spanked by Cuse, lost to UConn, and were lucky to get by Skip and the Bulls in one of our worst seasons ever. We get past UConn this week and have an extra week to prepare for Lville, I think that game will be far more competitive than people think.

Hopefully this time turns out like the other couple times we've taken them down a notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last thing we need is for them to have locker room fodder. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 2-0 in conference with Louisville at home makes that a big game. Hopefully the Cincy game was no fluke, and we can continue to play at or above that level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are more elements of the offense starting to open up right now. The middle TE passes worked really well last week. It is just too bad there are no issues at QB and RB. Hopefully the Bulls will push through and get a win at UConn then improve, recruit an rest during the bye week in preparation for Louisville.

There is no doubt that this team is coming together. We still haven't seen the full potential of that dline. The oline is vastly improved. 2 good targets at tight end, good rb in Shaw, and at least 1 talented wr in Davis (whatever you may think of him). Being competitive in this conference this year is not out of the question just yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a decent game vs MSU, then fell apart at FAU. We're still not consistent, so I can't be too optimistic for an upset yet. Improvement, yeah, I hope so, but a W is a little lofty right now with just one decent game of defense and keep-away offense. Get the next W first!
