This game is important, but for different reasons. I think if you're not resigned to the fact that if past is prologue we're simply not good enough to make a bowl.
I don't think this team has played anywhere near its potential on the offensive side of the ball and it would be a damn shame if the rest of the season passes with that being the case.
This week they are going to play a tough football team...mediocre but damn tough. There's really no secret to what they are going to try to do. They're going to play very very physical in the trenches, pound the ball on the ground and pick their spots in the air, and the defense is going to come after the quarterback with bad intentions.
How is this team going to deal with that?
