Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 5042864, member: 71"] This is not a bad idea. You are also on the right track. Another possibility is any one of the three early losses in 2011 (P's first season). We had leads at Vandy and home against Iowa St throughout most of each game and fell apart over the last eight plus minutes. Against Western Michigan we fell behind early and spent the remainder of the game playing catchup. Every time we got there we had a lapse and let them score. We were clearly the more talented team in each game, the one where we never led (WMU) was against the least talented of the three opponents. A win in any of those games would have gotten us a bowl invitation (would have been fifth consecutive & sixth in eight seasons). A better start to the P tenure (especially when factoring in the precarious situation that developed in realignment) may have prevented the program from falling off a cliff. [/QUOTE]
