Started reading some posts after the game and it seems everyone is (understandably) sad and some are (insanely) saying Mason Fine is the reason we lost tonight. So here is the good news:
SMU is the 2nd toughest team we play this season, only behind Iowa.
UTSA did beat Baylor, but so did Liberty, so good for the conference, but not all that impressive.
Rice is terrible and they still squashed UTEP so I move those into an even more secure win category.
LA Tech is actual trash this season it appears.
Southern Miss is still experimenting at QB
UAB was less competitive against a Ball State team that is much worse than SMU.
ODU only put up 17 points against a terrible UMass team.
FAU is now 0-2 in the Lane Kiffin era
We are averaging 45.5 points per game
Mason now has 6 TDs & 2 INTs in 2 games whereas last year he has 6 TDs and 5 INTs in 10 games.
Mason has thrown for 648 yards in 2 games, which is almost half as many as he put up in 10 games last season.
Mason is currently 47/68 which gives him an average completion rate of 69.1%.
Bryce English should be back by the UAB game which should significantly help us get pressure on the QB.
The sky is not actually falling.
I still say we go 8-5.
