By far the weak point of our team the first four games was our defense. The D looked great last week even with all the injuries. I think they are finally starting to gel and get healthy.
I'm not going to count out the offense because of one awful game. I don't see Bailey fumbling twice as a problem with the scheme and even that one interception on the goal line in the 3rd was a bit of a flukey play.
Special teams was a huge issue but give Rutgers credit, they were a top notch special teams squad.
With Tulane coming up, we should be 4-2 going in to the bye week in which we'll be able to get healthy and iron out any kinks for the remaining stretch run. By no means will we run the table but I see us finishing 7-5 and getting to another bowl game. If we can get a bounce or two go our way we could potentially hit 8 wins. All in all, I think that would be a success coming off of last year.
