but nope.
Going into this game, I really felt this team could win the Big East and have (perhaps its last chance in a long, long time) an opportunity to play in a BCS bowl game.
We needed to beat a mediocre Cincinnati team with a horrible QB coming off two losses. That momentum would have led to a rocking Carrier Dome against an undefeated Louisville team ripe for a loss. Then all we would have needed was to beat Temple and for Rutgers to lose two or their final three games (Pitt, Cinci, Louisville).
It was very realistic.
And yet, they screwed it up. Like they tend to do.
We have a QB who, while flawed, will be chosen in the 3rd or 4th round of April's NFL Draft. The first time we've had a legit NFL QB since McNabb. Yet, after this loss, we may not even go to a bowl game.
How pathetic is that?
It's just very frustrating. We see flashes of very good play. But that always has to be accompanied by failure.
