I agree though, something different against someone different. Be nice.

FAU and UAB, would those be new opponents? Marshal would be a good. I just do not recall a team dramatically improving over the course of a seaon in the areas in which UT needs to improve, in order to compete. Special teams, offensive skills, these I've seen improve. But line?

Homefully the coaches are up to it.

2004 Rockets MAC Champs lost to Minnesota 63-21 and Kansas 63-14 first two games and turned it around.

Truth in advertising might say add: that team beat a very weak MAC then got stomped in their bowl game by Connecticutt.

If you remember Bruce G, 6th round NFL pick, broke his hand in the MACC. Marques Council replaced Bruce after the first half against UConn. Not the same team without a healthy Bruce. Now that's truth in advertising.

That's truth also and hardly the only all-timer on that team. They really struggled without G's defense though.
Toledo 0 7 3 0 10
Connecticut 17 13 3 6 39

It was 30-7 at the half. You sure G left at the half? Council had a pretty decent day with a 91 rating.

MAC was 2-3 in bowl games, not the worst ever.

Toledo punted something like 8 times, gave up 2 sacks on 4th Down, 3 turnovers(2 that ended in Huskie scores), and a UConn TD on a Rocket punt, Bruce had a QBR of 28 and Council 24.
