Having watched all 4 play several times I think all are winnable.

Had we beat SMU tonight 3 of 4 would do.

Hey Miami won 6 in a row last year.

Tulane - we will have 2 weeks to prep. There is not a great home advantage as not many will be attending. We win

Temple - Friday night lights. Another win.

ECU. Another W

UConn - Moore commits turnover at 5 as UC winning drive is thwarted.

5-7

4-8. Tulane beats us easily. ECU, Temple and UConn are all winnable, but I figure we may win 2 out of those 3.

I just think that the Option style offense that Tulane uses will utterly expose our defensive issues. They are not a "good" team, but they are a bad match for this team, IMO.

I'd guess that UConn plays us hard as well to finish the first season under Edsall.

We can win either or both against Temple and ECU... Or we could lose either or both against Temple and ECU. We are about even with both of those programs. Temple looks demoralized at the moment.

But they play the games for a reason... Only time will tell. I guessed a revised 3-9 after APSU and I'll stick to that prediction.

At best I think one more win, but I'm not sure which one. Maybe Temple at home. UConn is getting better. ECU has a decent offense. Tulane will give UC's defense fits.

IMO Moore plays until we lose one and then he must be benched for 2017. He is a turn over machine who needs to be replaced for 2018.

BTW - the O line will lose a lot of seniors. 2018 may well be much worse.

Wins - ECU, Temple
Losses - Tulane, UConn

I would agree with this.


*Ecu is beating BYU tonight

It's time for Moore to earn a degree and get on with his life's work. Kid is a train wreck at the worst possible times.

Like Billy D. Williams and Colt .45...

At this point, I'll just take a damn win no matter how we get it or who it's against.

Tulane= loss. can't stop their offense

Other three all toss-ups. Could win all three or lose all three. After all ECU, Temple and UCONN are going to look at us and figure they can win. Without a killer offense to knock-out an opponent early. Those squads could very well be hanging around at the end of a game. To win close games you need place kicking and a non-turnover machine at QB. We have a problem with both of these.

2-2 to get to 4 of wins which has pretty much been the goal since the Navy game.

I think that we are on an upward trajectory from the UCF game. 4-0. We beat Tulane with better talent. I get the triple option worry, but we have had time to correct these issues. We will not allow Tulane to run outside with no containment.

4-0 or 3-1. Uc is better than all four of those teams.

UC was / is a team desperately in need of a bye week. There is so much the staff needs to do with this team. Things might really look better after the break.

That said, it is hard to see them going 4 - 0 after the break.

2-2

You know, I've seen what people are saying about the Cincinnati season. I've heard the concerns, and worries, and fears.

I've even expressed some of them myself.

But there's no stronger team in the world than Cincinnati. My passion for Cincinnati is as great as it's ever been. And I'm ready for football domination like no one has ever seen.

Get ready Cincinnati fans. Get ready, Tulane. Get ready, East Carolina. Get ready, Memphis. Get ready, Connecticut. Cincinnati is coming to crush you.

3-1 with Tulane being the only loss

I feel that same way but I have UC beating Tulane, Temple, and UConn to go 5-7.

Other than lighting up a bad Tulsa defense and scoring a bunch of points late against USF, what has Tulane done to make people think they are any good. Grambling, Tulsa, and Army are there 3 wins. They lost to FIU a few weeks ago.

ECU home field advantage scares me more than Tulane but that is still a toss-up game. The Pirate's wins over UConn and BYU are still better than anything Tulane has done.

Big concern is that the coaching staff coaches like a bunch of losers that are afraid to be aggressive when its winning time. They play to keep the game close due to the roster versus trying to instill a culture of being aggressive and winning.

You ever been aggressive in the casino poker room with a crappy hand? Works once in a blue moon but the rest of the time everyone thanks you.
