These 2 games will probably come down to a simple formula-Can we stop the run or not?
Depends on one's expectations. If you think that this is a rebuild year still and as long as we get to 6 Ws it is still an acceptable season, then the Louisville game doesn't mean a whole lot. However if you have thrown out your early expectations and what a big season then the Louisville season is the key to that.
We just came off a high and are entering a slug fest on the road. I will be disappointed if he lose. And think we should win. But I also realize there is a really good chance we lose this one. Until our team can prove that we are consistent, we shouldn't get too far ahead of ourselves.
We had two weeks to work on execution for WV. That won't happen this week. We played a team that has a small front 3. That won't happen this week. We played a team that is soft and had their will easily beaten. That won't happen this week. We had a lot of plays break our way. That won't happen this week. We converted an insane amount of 3rd downs. That won't happen again.
I expect us to put up 24-31 points this game but it will be ugly. I can see UL playing us on D like they did last year, and like Wake this year. If we come out and try to pound the ball it will be a long day.
We did play very well on the road last year. Marrone has done well in that regard.
That't caught me with the commentators the other night. You don't "take the next step" when you have a great game. Teams "take the next step" when they are good consistently. A good performance is an indicator of potential. Upleveling is a function of consistency.Depends on one's expectations.

so true and that is why the next two games are big.. win the next two with good solid efforts, dosnt need to be spectacular and we are on our wayThat't caught me with the commentators the other night.

Completely agreed. That is exactly how it should be viewed.so true and that is why the next two games are big.. win the next two with good solid efforts, dosnt need to be spectacular and we are on our way
I agree. The Louisville and UConn games are crucial because wins agains both will truly propel the program.
I also agree that Louisville will be a very tough game. Any way game is tough and Marrone has yet to defeat the Cardinals.
We must win this game. We need to go to 6-2 heading into the UConn game.
The BE Championship is in our control. Lets go for it for gosh sakes!!!!
Agree 100%. consistency is the key here... I just dont know why we would concede a slug fest of the offense is to turn a corner... I am not saying the corner needs to be the WVU game performance but it should be scoring 31-35 points and making Louisville counter, giving Ville a slugfest, low scoring game is exacyly what they are looking for and that will be a lose within a game, IMO. You don't get better as a program that way
