The next three weeks...

[shizzle787]

Are vital for the program.

Ball State
@ Buffalo
FIU

All three are very winnable games. We need all three. Getting us to 4-2 going into the BC game will give us momentum. I really wanted this year to be our first to get to 10 wins at the FBS level, but I will settle for a 7-8 win season at this point to keep momentum going.

We're not beating BC, Duke and Wake.

If we win every other game that puts us at 7 wins. That won't happen.

6-7 wins is the ceiling.

Mark my words, FIU is a trap game. They don’t look that bad this year.

Trap games are away games. Like yesterday. The very definition.,,

They are not good. I am more concerned with Buffalo because it is a road game.

 

[shizzle787]

On the bright side, ESPN still has us as heavy favorites in every game but BC and Duke.

We don't even play Wake this year. What are you talking about?

*Air Force

We are heavy favorites against them right now.

We are heavy favorites against them right now.

If we can't tackle. And we can't tackle. Then we lose. We just lost to a team that is transitioning to FBS yesterday.

 

[Purple Stein]

I watched a little of Air Force/Utah State last night. Air Force lost 49-30 but ran for 266 yards. A lot of it straight up the gut.

Based on where we're at right now, Air Force is going to kill us in the trenches and literally run us out of the building.

They are not good. I am more concerned with Buffalo because it is a road game.

Once we lost yesterday, I expect that we could realistically lose to anybody on this schedule.

Buffalo I’m actually easier on than beforehand.

 

[BlueWolf25]

Yesterday was one we had to have if we wanted a better win total. With the way our defense is playing, making a bowl game feels like an accomplishment. Sucks that we finally have a solid FBS offense for once, and the defense can’t even be average

 

[ConnHuskBask]

We are heavy favorites against them right now.

We were a TD favorite yesterday too, no?

 

[NowInStorrs]

We don't even play Wake this year. What are you talking about?

Well in that case, I don't think there's any way this team is going to be able to beat them.

 

[BugsyCT]

They're going to have to learn how to win at situational football. We've been one or two plays away the past 2 games of being 3-0.

Gotta get it together and beat Ball State next week and go from there.

These next three weeks are going to be crutial. I think our highest chance to win is Ball State. Buffalo and FIU will carve up our defense-we likely will not beat those two teams if it comes down to needed fourth quarter big plays and big stops. Last year was the year of winning close games, this year will be the year of losing close games. I hope I’m wrong but that’s what I’m seeing so far
