Half the team is gone from two years ago as is the coach. Not giving away points on turnovers like they did last season alone should be worth 3 wins. There is no honor is being a passable FB team regardless of how inept the previous season was. There is still talent here and they continue to make poor plays on field and on the sidelines. It's not like more time in the weight room, film room, or more reps is going to change that. It will change when they decide to change it. You don't need time for that, just focus. We aren't growing wheat here. Go play like a FBS team and don't be satisfied with not being the complete embarrassment of the past few years because their are no ribbons for not sucking.
This afternoon's effort aside this team has been watchable but they blew a shot at a bowl against USF so, go make up for it. Whether they make it to 6 or not isn't as important as putting in a respectable effort against good teams, but it's close. I wanted a shot at bowl eligibility before the last home game and I got it. Forgive the lack of a Mission Accomplished banner. The goal for every team, every season is to make a bowl game regardless of how bad you are. That's the only measure of a successful season. If they come up short, the season will no longer be a failure but it's hard to call 5-7 a success if you care at all about excellence.
