Beat Tulane.
Because UCF could have been won if not for mental errors especially the offense (fumble into the end zone & 3 critical dropped passes). Navy, we only played 1 half against them. Had we just kept neutral to them in the first half, we would have won by 2-3 TDs. Memphis I knew was a pretty much a loss but I thought we wouldn’t give up 60+ pts. My goodness what a joke. That’s why people including me have been extremely critical. It’s absolutely not about what the stats say. We get we were “suppose” to lose. It’s that when we were are in play that we blow away chances to come up with the upset because we typically SMU choke away big games except Houston last year and TCU in 2011.
So you are saying you would not be freaking out if we had lost by a much larger margin (at least to UCF )? That is what your first sentence says, but I wanted to check because i don’t totally follow the logic.
