Message: [QUOTE="Husky25, post: 4397264, member: 2839"] Love the optimism, but 7 wins means UConn goes 5-1 over the remaining schedule. That is bordering on lunacy. If I'm allowed to recall an old Boston Sports Guy routine, Let's break it down, Dr. Jack style: FIU - I can certainly see a win at FIU. Neither their offense or defense are very good. and UConn is a road favorite for the first time in eons. Ball State - A [s]sneaky[/s] tough road game. They have a good offense and UConn will not be able to feed off the crowd. Their defense isn't great, but neither is UConn's offense. BC - Upsetting Louisville notwithstanding, they are not a good P-5 team. On the other hand they have always been at least a step faster and a pound stronger than UConn. Phil Jurkovec is an NFL prospect. UMass - Friday home game vs a one (maybe two, NMSU) win Bottom 10 team? Sure. I'll mark this down as a win. Liberty - There are many reasons to ridicule and dislike Liberty University. Their football program, standing on its own, is not one of them. As much as I don't like mixing politics/religious views with sports, I would love for UConn to pull the home upset simply because of their politics/religious views. I just don't see it. Not this season. Army - While the triple option has basically become a gimmicky attack, it's still really effective. If only because opponents don't practice against it until [name the military academy] week. This is a toss up game at best. Liberty is a loss. BC is likely a loss, but toss up on the outside. Same for Ball State. I'd say that the smart money puts UConn at 2-4 over the second half of the season. There is a real possibility for 3-3, and the slightest sliver of hope on the fringes for 4-2 (2-1 in the likely toss up games), but 5-1 seems like Pluto-level "out there" at this point. [/QUOTE]
