Again are we contenders or pretenders? Lets take care of business and set-up a great game against Troy to decide the Title - not looking ahead of course ;)
FIU is winless, but do have enough talent to pose a threat if the Owls overlook the Kitties.

FAU should win but that does not mean they will. Wisconsin is 9-3 this year but 1-11 Minnesota gave them all they could handle.

I have no doubt that Coach S is trying to mentally prepare them. I just hope it sinks in.

I think he just wanted to say something complimentary while in his presence. I mean, it's hard to measure Cristobal by what he has to work with now.
His first recruits will be in 2008 so by 2011 we'll have a better idea of how good of a coach he is then (and "by 2011" I mean any time between 2008 and 2011).
If FIU spent the entire off-season (and I mean the entire off-season) running drills, they might put up a good fight against USF next season. A win vs USF would be great for them and would probably nab them some national attention, although I don't know how likely a win vs USF would be considering that USF will recruit well this year and their best guys will be healthy/fired-up for the first game.
What FIU is missing is a great QB. It would be a fair bet to say that Cristobal is looking for a strong running QB since those are doing so well this year.
