Louisville -16.5 over Houston
UCF -17 over Temple
SMU -13.5 over UConn
UC -3 over Rutgers
Memphis -2.5 over USF
AAC is so top heavy. I think we are a mid level team in this conference - we can beat the bad teams, 50-50 against 2nd tier teams, but likely get killed at UCF. We are going to have to beat Houston to get a bowl this year. The RU and cincy losses really hurt us.

We'll blow them out and then the bowl talk will start up again.

we are going to get to 5 by week 10 and then watch door slam at UH and home against UCF. So definite bowl talk coming right to the bitter end

Maybe we can get a repeat of last year when we knocked off an 8-2 Tulsa team to get that 6th win in the last game of the season.

Hopefully. Anything can happen! U of H will probably be our last chance at a bowl.

I forgot about USF's new QB who played well against UH-I'm going to hold off in calling that a victory as long as possible to see how he plays next week. Because otherwise I saw some pretty good defensive talent on USF's defense

SMU's defense & special teams will keep UConn within the 13.5 spread

I wouldn't call USF a win yet, they did beat Cincy...

I really hope that doesn't happen. I'm not expecting anything anymore. If we win, good, if we don't whatever. There's always 2014, and I am hopeful everything will be new!
New Coaching staff
New Quarterback
Tougher O Line
Tougher Defense
Better Special teams
in the meantime...NEW MOODY!!!

I've said all along that USF will be a tough game. They have some talent (and are definitely "on the rise" - great recruiting class coming in). With our defense, I'll be shocked if we win more than 1 more game this year. Absolutely pathetic with the offense we now have. Very depressing season. Terrible leadership from our coaches in game and our defensive secondary is about as soft as melted butter. If I was playing us, I'd just throw over the middle of our defense all day long. Absolutely unacceptable how Cincy was able to move the ball against us with ease.

If I was any other team, I would do what Montana State and every other school did to us...RUN THE BALL STRAIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE and pick up 7 every carry...
