100% Improvement over LY

[hbryan]

Talent levels are being upgraded and a sense of urgency and accountability are being instilled in the culture.  The behaviors are being addressed and you will see improvement.  Those that thought this year was going to be .500+ were not thinking logically. 

 

The loss to MD was tough, but that one game produced more turnovers than an entire year (two years ago).  There will be growing pains as CWT pushes his expectations.  He's the right guy. 

 

There will be some very tough games coming up (Wisconsin, Cincy and ECU). 

 

Go Bulls!

 

Those were the expected tough games, not a home game against NCST!!!

1. You have zero evidence of CWT instilling accountability. In fact, running Mike White game after game shows the complete opposite, not to mention, its hypocritical considering what he did to Floyd last year.

2. What exactly would you say are his expectations and what have you seen that makes you believe he's pushing them more than any other coach?

This is just not a very good team........right now.

A 100% improvement would mean 4 wins. I see 3, maybe.

One better be UConn.  Tulsa just got killed by FAU, and SMU is horrible.  That should give us 4 wins. I don't see another game we'll be favored in, so we'll need to win all 3 of these, and hope we can steal a few to get to a bowl game.

 

If I had to bet my house, I'd say 4 wins...and ask BAUSFKID to give me some stock picks later.

I can help you there too Jup. Next year will be much improved.

We performed better against Miami and Michigan State last year.

I still think 100% improvement will happen as far as W/L is concerned. As far as 100% improvement on the offensive side of the ball....

[Bear]

Only the UCONN game will tell...

 

If we lose -- then there is NO improvement

 

If we win  (by a margin of 3 points) -- then still NO improvement

 

If we dominate -- then... then we are on to something

I'm with you Parade.  I just don't see 6 wins on this schedule.  We could realistically lose the final 6 games of the year.

 

BA, it seems you were seeing the four wins in the first 6 games of the season based upon this post.  We won't get four in the first six, so do you want to amend your prediction?

Judging by NCSt, I wouldn't say we're improved. I think from WCU to MD, our D tangibly improved while our O stayed on par. From MD to NCSt, though, both sides of the ball took a step backward.

 

The ball (and calls) didn't bounce our way in that first half, and we got down a ton of points. From there I'd have to score us a solid D- on dealing with adversity as a team, they really lacked fight.
