Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 1900507, member: 874"] I think the thread title is dead on. I don't get the blind optimism from some people on this board that this is an automatic win. Our offense has stalled at some point during every game we've played this year and our defense is atrocious. People say they haven't beaten anyone. Neither have we. We have a win against an FCS team and a less than dominant win against a bad FBS team. Losing to good teams, and a bad one, doesn't make our resume any better than theirs. This idea that our offense is going to strike fear into the hearts of opposing teams needs to be shelved this year. Is it an upgrade? Absolutely. Is it so good that we're going to blow out anyone or hang with the good teams on our schedule? Nope. Not with the defense we're playing. We only had 44 more yards than UConn and their horrible offense. And Notre Dame didn't need to worry about our 489 yards because they had 654. This game is a pick 'em. [/QUOTE]
