and a loss to memphis (8-3) with your starting qb in a pass happy offense missing half the game, is a better a loss than to houston who is 6-4 ...
Even with Kiel in the game they managed 7 points an entire half which they got on the first play of the game. So the missing QB excuse doesn't make sense. He did nothing else.
As far as Temple and ECU goes. Temple beat ECU head to head. Which is what my comment stated. No one said it was better or worse.
did you watch the game, kiel was hitting qbs deep that game, including one that would have been a walk in TD, but the recievers dropped it aswell as many other drops, you can argue maybe memphis would have still won but it would have been a completely different game if he had played the full game
cincy at the time was a pure passing team and lost its qb..im not sure how that doesnt factor in ...especially for a team that is quick strick.
thats like saying it wouldnt have made a difference if USF had lost its qb white at halftime against tulsa, tulsa was up 27-7 at half, they only scored 7 the first half, tulsa was going to win (spoiler: USF won the game)
I believe that Memphis and the Bearcats are pretty evenly matched at this time in the season. That was an impressive performance Saturday night; total domination.
However, I don't understand what the argument is about the first game. Gunner played the entire first half. Regarding the second half, you need possession of the ball to score and by the 4th qtr, the Bearcat defense was just gassed and couldn't stop the Tiger running game.
Regarding the bolded/underlined; I'm not arguing that "maybe (M)emphis would have still won"; I'm saying that it's obvious who would have won the game. Brett Farve could have been the QB in the second half, but he doesn't help if he's sitting on his helmet watching for 13/15s of the 4th quarter.
