BC-we are going to look back at that as a brutal loss. We were the better team and and they will be lucky to win 3 games.

EIU-Did what we needed to do. Given our track record with solid local FCS schools, that win is promising.

Nebraska and SDSU are going to be great tests for us. SDSU beat ASU last night. If we limit our mistakes and get a couple of plus plays on D and ST I think we will show well. I don't see us winning either of these 2 games, probably 10ish point dogs in both games, but the possibility is certainly there.

Our offense is not good enough to stay with the next two Nebraska or San Diego State. I don't think our running game is strong enough to set up the pass and vice versa. Balanced maybe, but just not at the level to play with the next two teams.

Now Santa is on film---and he's taking a big step up. I would expect some regression.

I am a strong supporter that we have a very solid defense, but I'm sure Nebraska's offensive line will be massive and even in a very, very, very good effort against BC, we did give up 23 points. We are going to have a tough time holding Nebraska nor San Diego State to that and it will be very difficult to score that many. I'm guessing we are strong double digit underdogs in both games and we need to come out healthy coming into conference play.
