I guess the question I'd ask is would they have lost three games so far if they had our schedule. I'll go ahead and say no. They'd have likely lost one or two, but I doubt they'd have lost all three.
If people want to crap all over them, that's fine...they haven't played anyone tough yet. On the other hand my points still stand. They are undefeated and getting a lot of buzz/attention, so whether they're deserving or not, this would be a HUGE win for us.
Obviously our defense got absolutely torched in the first half against FAU. Army does an incredible job at keeping their defense off the field though. In the second half, FAU had only 2 possessions against Army due to Army holding the ball for over 23 minutes of that second half. The first half ended 14-7 so it's not like Army had such a comfortable lead that they didn't need to score. If you don't give the other team the ball, they can't score. We could be up by 20 and we'd still be running uptempo.
I think the UTSA game is going to be a good test of how watchable are we. We have a hour before any other game (excluding Wyoming) starts. Locally, we just have to compete with the Spurs on ESPN and OTA. If no one tunes in when there is nothing on but a NBA pregame show or a high school game, I’m going to be so disappointed.
