Before the season, I expected us to be 5-3 (1-3) at this point. We’re 4-4 (0-4). Louisville was in ink as a loss, as was FSU and Clemson. The BC game was what hurt. I thought we’d go 7-5 (3-5) and now it’s looking more like 6-6 (2-6) at best.
I only saw about 1/2 of the Louisville game, but we played a lot better than I expected. I expected some late garbage scores by State and a 49-17 kind of thrashing. The defense played better (and actually finally attacked some). We did better against their defense than I expected. We were close, and I think it’s what hurt.
The bye week couldn’t have come at a better time. The team needs to get healthy, get focused and go play their best game at Syracuse. That’s a must win game.
