I agree, but we squandered 14 points last night. It easily could have been a blowout. Fumble in the red zone and couldn’t move the ball after stopping them on their side of the field. That may have been the drive where White threw the ball out of bounds with 2 open receivers and 10 yards of green in front of him.
I’m glad our special teams and defense bailed us out until our offense could clean off the cobwebs. This is the second game that I feel like we should have won by more (first was Ole Miss). Hopefully these offensive brain farts don’t bite us down the road.

We won and are 4-0, when we could have quit and rolled over. Worrying about what could be in the future seems futile to me.
College players aren't perfect robots. As long as they are playing hard and not quitting, that's all we have any right to expect. Anything beyond that, get mad at the coaches, not the players.

Lol. I’m not mad. I do hope we continue to improve though. Fortunately our defense is better this year.
We came back (which showed heart), but part of the reason we were in that place to begin with is because of poor execution.

RE: ***Official Memphis vs Navy Game Thread*** (9/26)
We are setting up for Memphis' storybook season.
Memphis goes 12-0 and wins the West.
UCF goes 11-1 and wins the East.
Memphis hosts UCF for the conference title and a chance to break the 14(?)-game losing streak to us.

Good teams play hard....great teams play hard and smart.
Brady may have high IQ in the classroom, but he is average D1 QB. Fans know he pads his passing numbers w/ weak teams, but good teams, you have to hold your breath and hope he doesn't make a stupid mistake.

1400 posts, member since 2004, -7 reps. That's a statistical anomaly right? 15 years -7? If this was baseball he would be a pitcher I guess. Low all over numbers, high year count, low batting avg. . .

I have no idea if this nation wide or just local, but if you were considering Friday-night pizza. Papa John's is advertising "50% off your order the day after a Memphis win."
Order Special Code is "UOFMWIN."
