Ok so I guess we have a chance against a demoralized Temple, a mess of a Tulsa, an over confident yet beatable ECU, and no one in their right mind should be afraid of a Biff Pogi led 49ers team. We have a chance to get four more and go 🎳!!!!!!???????

Yes, there are a few winnable games here and there, but until we show that we can produce some offense in the American Conference, I am not sure there are enough winnable games to get us to a bowl game.

Other teams have found a way to score points in this AAC, can we?

Tulane have back to back games scoring over 45 points against AAC opponents, Charlotte putting up over 50 against an AAC opponent, North Texas scoring over 40 in each of their last two games, one against an AAC opponent and of course Army and Navy rolling along against everyone.

Home game vs North Texas is huge for us and a must win!
