Message: [QUOTE="JeremyCuse, post: 339735, member: 43"] I actually agree with most of if not all of your points outlined in the original post. I think from a conference schedule point of view I think its time we actually beat Uconn and Pitt for a change and win some of these winnable games as you noted. Anything less then 5-7 I think in year four is cause for concern. However I think some people are underestimating how difficult this OOC is, NW is a good team and the game Saturday could go either way though I think SU pulls it out. The rest of the schedule isnt exactly a walk in the park either; USC is ranked #1 and has all americans literally at every position, @ Minnesota looks easy on paper but our record on the road under Doug isnt exactly stellar and SU has been losing that type of road game since Coach P. Missouri is a game that never should have been scheduled, no one is asking the Athletic department to schedule like Rutgers but when your schedule allready has 3 BS opponents only 1 of which is at home you dont schedule an SEC team on the road at the end of the year when SU will likely be desperate for a W to get bowl eligible. How Gross and Marrone signed off on that is beyond me. Hell even our 1AA team is ranked in the top 10 of the FCS and there RB is a D1AA Heisman candidate and they just brought in the leading rusher from the B10 last year in Coker who was kicked out of Iowa. People keep laughing it off but this teams performance against 1AA's the past few years hasnt exactly been dominant and SB looks light years better then the RI team we beat 21-14 last year. SU will win but again if its another close game is it the opponent or as you noted is it time for changes to be made. [/QUOTE]
