LoL

I may need the support of some UAB anesthesiologists to make it through the Georgia game.

If we are lucky, a hurricane or a common cold gets the game next week cancelled

I don’t see another victory on the schedule.

Temple is probably the closest. If the defense can improve a lot and fast, there are several........USF has won 4 games in 3 years, North Texas does not look good, FAU does not look good, etc.

Week 3 AAC Takeaways

-Tulane looks sharp on both sides of the ball, Pratt or no Pratt. Good win over the Sun Belt, we needed one.

-Memphis V. Navy was a hell of a game (GOTY candidate). Memphis needs to work on tackling, but they look strong. Navy offense has come a long way since Notre Dame, they will compete in conference play

-Rice! Rice! Rice! DO NOT sleep on these Owls, they are playing as hard as any right now and look great on both sides

-UTSA...yikes. Needed that win, should still bounce back and compete in conference play...but they are not the powerhouse people were expecting (give it time)

-SMU looked about as good as anyone should look against PVA&M. Should put in a good run in conference play

-FAU...I know it's Clemson, but should have been more competitive. QB play was not ideal, they will get it together in conference play (hopefully)

-I have no idea what kind of team Temple will become. Offensive powerhouse? Defensive liability? Hard to tell right now, this week will not help either.

-UNT got their wings back! Good win for confidence, gotta keep that momentum going

-USF looks like a totally different team. Where did that defense come from? Wow. Figure out who the guys are on offense and they will be competitive

-Tulsa is starting to look more like the Tulsa we were expecting. Yes, Oklahoma is legit, but the Tulsa offense took a step back (not good relying on that defense)

-UAB is starting to realize its limitations, strengths, and weaknesses. The weaknesses prevailed this week. Bounce back coming soon

-Charlotte needs to re-think the offense. I believe Poggi will be making hefty changes this week. Would like to see them bounce back

-ECU...things are getting ugly very fast. Donnie Kirkpatrick is incompetent at calling plays. The defense looks good, but when they are forced to play 80% of the game they will not be able to bail the offense out. Time for some serious changes.

LOL. Thanks, Luc. I'll either self medicate or avoid the television altogether. This isn't going to be pretty.

Sitdown with Dilfer

A bunch of Dilfer shtick and coach speak. Getting really old, just 3 games into the season .

Is his 2 Cents free?

I want to encourage everyone to sign up. Cheaper than Netflix.

No, there is not shades of Garrick McGee.

I actually thought his press conference went well today.

He actual said there will be personnel changes. I think he is referring to players as opposed to coaches but I think he is more willing to right the ship and get away from friends than others

I’ll bet you see more of the freshmen and young guys playing.

He said at BWW that one of the reasons that they scored twice late was because he wanted to run those plays, get more reps. He said that he was on the intercom with the guys upstairs and he was pushing to go fast, score and score again. When someone asked why, Dilfer said his answer was that this was a team playiing badly that needed work, to get as many live plays as possible.. He also said the young guys who were busting it to make those late scores were likely going to be rewarded with starting places and increased playing time.

I liked that, and it didn't sound like Dilfer spinning it.
