I hope the Bearcats can pull it out.

I like his optimism and it would certainly reset expectations for the program in a very positive way. Realistically, four or five wins, total, on the ledger by season's end would be progress.

Agree with this. The reality is that the remainder of our schedule is not loaded with supremely talented teams. SMU is further along in their rebuild and with an explosive offense will be a tough team to beat. Tulane, ECU and UConn have been a mess the last few years and are not talented clubs. Temple is clearly suffering from a loss of talent last year as well as a new coaching staff. This staff needs to rack up some wins to keep the fanbase feeling optimistic about the rebuild efforts here.

Don't sleep on Tulane. I don't like our match up with them at all. They run the option and have a very athletic QB who will probably run for 150+ yards on us since we can't protect the edges.

Oh I'm sure it'll be a challenge for us. Just saying they aren't an overly talented team. I'd hope we learned a thing or two from watching Navy scorch us play after play on the outside. And we'll have a bye week to prepare. For a team that averages 100 yards a game through the air, I'd rather us put LBs on their WRs if that's what it's going to take for us to shed blocks to get to the pitch man.
