They had to come back from 16 down on the road to beat Division. 2 Montana St. We will win.

It is a 'must' win for our players to gain confidence. They have never been favored by this much. They need to prove to themselves that they can beat the teams they are supposed to beat and do it while improving. A win by one point to a team we screw around and let stay in the game doesn't build confidence. A solid performance by our players and a solid win does build confidence.

The 'must' part is the must win like they can and are suppose to win.

I just hope they are looking at this game, and not looking past Wazzu toward the TCU game.

With that said, I think this is a must-win, and how we play will set the stage for how well we play vs. TCU.

Even though its a bad BCS team, its still a BCS team and we need to get that skin on the wall. And we need for KP to get out of his sophomore slump. A breakout game would be great going into the TCU game.
UNC better keep that Ram away from Peruna

It would take a collapse of epic proportion for them to even stay in the game with us. Let alone win.

ridiculous that he implied that this game is a trap game before TCU...really? and when did we get to be talented enough to write teams off and look ahead?

"Must win" has to be one of the single dumbest phrases used to describe regular season games for a program like ours unless it is a game that could directly impact getting us to the conf championship game or beyond

i do understand that the nature of the regular season in CF makes it so that any aspiration of post season accomplishment hangs on every game. Then, doesn't even mentioning "must win" a more terrible and irrelevant cliche?

Padron is the anti-BLM. No need to worry about giving a game away in the 4th quarter.

i will let you know which games are must wins. tt was not a must win. this is fluid. each game depends on the present situation. i hesitated in calling this a must win but in fact it is. if we beat wsu the tcu game won't be a must win unless you want to have a chance at the top 25. depends on your goals.

June could have also shut down the passing game with BLM at QB in the 4th up by a lot. In the same situation this year (like last week against UAB), I expect Padron to turn to his RB and give him the ball.
