If the defense keeps progressing, 7-5 is the floor in this wide-open conference.

Very big if. I would add that we need to get/stay healthy. The injury bug has bitten hard in the early season. Need to cut down on the penalties and flip the turnover ratio. We only have a couple of takeaways so far.

For once the scheduling gods have been favorable for us.  We handled Tulsa last year on the road.  If we are able to replicate that at home this weekend then we get a down FAU before we run the gauntlet of Memphis, Tulane and Army.  Those three games will tell us a lot about this year's squad.  Throw the record books out when it comes to UTSA.  ECU has been down but seems to be righting the ship (no pun intended), then we wrap up against a weak Temple team.

Yeah, that looks like 9-3 if things go really well which rarely happens.  So, throw in an additional loss and we're at 8-4.  We HAVE TO WIN the bowl game or play a really good game against a much better team.  The former gets us to 9-4 which isn't too bad, especially if this includes improvements in the defense along the way.  I'm assuming 2 conf losses keeps us out of the championship game.

Really a fun challenging schedule this season!

I really feel we will be at either Tulane here or Army here.  Oh how I remember the last time Army came here. We had a good crowd with lots of Army fans. They were setting close to me in section 207 crowing because they were ahead with 2 minutes to play. Well guess what Mr. Fine marched us down the field and as time was expiring we kicked a field goal to win. I told all the Army fans don't count your chickens before their hatched and they said oh no we wont let UNT drive on us we just don't do that. Well Mason did it and they left very dejected.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      The McGill non-TD was 50/50. With my green glasses on, the ball broke the goal line more or less as his knee hit. The problem was that they didn’t call it a TD and therefore harder to call the TD on replay when that close. The real problem is our inability to get TDs when in the redzone, particularly short yardage. Can’t run for one yard and it’s pathetic. Should never need to pass from the one yard line and if we do it should be some kind of play action misdirection to a block and release TE. The play calling in general was terrible this game. The decision making (on sides kick) was even worse. On a related note, the non-fumble and the PI call were ridiculous. I can sort-of, kind-of see the PI call because it was a bang bang play and refs are human, but the fumble was a fumble and they got it wrong live and on replay. The AD needs to file a protest to the league. That ref should be suspended.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      So was the radio play-by-play. Wish there was a video replay for me to see this. I also wish there was better checks-and-balances. In the NFL, can't a team submit a replay of a call to the NFL office for review, even if it doesn't mean a change in the final score? At least there would be some transparency and accountability. Based on the radio play by play, you would think that giving McGill the TD was a no-brainer, and the game might have ended up very differently. An option offense playing from behind is very different from one playing to keep a lead.. (granted, it was still early in our game)

      No moral victories

      We knew this 3-game stretch of Memphis, Tulane and Army would be tough. We lost by 8, 8 and 11 points. We are another year away (with better players and coaches).

      Any way to see the replay?

      Fire the OC. The defense showed up.

      3 times within 15 yards and walking away with 0 points. There is nothing about that that is on the defense. Emmitt is right.
