This writer nails it because thankfully unbiased. I'm glad we have Temple at home because they're going to be extremely difficult to take down. If our offense doesn't start on first snap, we are screwed. We have to play like we did against USF and get to strong and early lead to demoralize them. Leave them in the game in the 2nd half and we are going to have problems. I really hope we take care of business because Memphis on the road is probably where our undefeated season will die.

Nothing wrong with honest criticism. I can deal with that.

But here's the deal:

Our back half of the schedule is tougher than the front half. The good news, though?

We have the chance to continue to move up the rankings as a result. Temple, Memphis, Houston, Navy, and even Tulane present decent chances to make an impression. The teams that sit above us are about to start knocking each other off - hopefully we can survive and keep moving up.

i actually feel very good about Temple. They are the ones who have to beat us at home.

Houston could be a scrapper - they like beating us more than anything else. More worried about that one.

Not looking any farther than that.

Houston looks like a classic trap game. Visting on Thursday night after a big game on Saturday against a Houston team that appears to be in disarray. Makes me nervous.

We are fortunate to be playing Temple at home as they have shown to be a much better team at home vs on the road. We have shown that we are a pretty good road team which will be important when we have to visit Houston, Memphis and Navy but it would be an incredible accomplishment if this team was able to go unbeaten in the regular season.

I'm more nervous about Temple than Houston. Our team will get up for Houston (and we don't lose in our Dallas uniform!). Worried about taking Temple a little too lightly and too relaxed at home. Have to come out with a big chip on our shoulders, I'd be telling the team all week that everyone thinks they are overrated and had a lightweight schedule in the first half and only reason undefeated so far.

If we play like we did in the 2nd half against Tulsa, none of the rest of schedule can beat us. Book it.
