The real point is, we should have beaten UAB and SMU, and be sitting 5-3, needing only to beat ECU to make a bowl. And we're not..

Nope. But sure thought we’d beat SMU at home.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I found no one who predicted the MEM win, and the only one who even predicted a win over USF did it with a caveat of "if we lose to Cincy" (dpm wave). That's it. So we've beaten two teams that no one predicted we'd beat at the beginning of the year.

You are one game away from being a genius. Lol.

It hurts to know that we should-could-would be bowl eligible by now had we handled our business. I have a bad feeling about the Navy game. They have found a way to beat us in our last 4 meetings. Hopefully, we can pull it out.


I am glad we are facing Navy over #23 Army.

I might have missed it somewhere but those are two totally different statements from a HC. And I don't buy the first, so I certainly don't agree with the second (statement).

We all thought Banks would be much better in year two, and take another step forward as he did late last year. Instead he seems to have taken a step backwards. And McMillan is not very good, at least not at this time with this amount of exposure to the system he's in. Take away the slant and he's got very little. And you know Navy is going to take away the slant.

McMillan looked a lot better against Navy. 18-29, and I saw a lot of plays that weren't slants. A few quick screens to receivers, and some out patterns as well.

As we've all noted if they would just call a few dumps to backs it would help immensely. I think they called one yesterday an Mc McMillan threw behind Amare Jones who had two blockers and a lot of space ahead of him. It was the play that quite frankly I thought the Wave got a break that it wasn't called a backward lateral. The execution was bad proving they don't work on that much. Baffles me that Ruse ignores that aspect of the game when the opposition all year has blitzed up the middle so much.
