Not one, but two teams currently count us as their only win of the year - Charleston Southern and VMI.

In the two combined games we outgained them 748-392 and only punted 3 times in the two games ...

... but committed 7 turnovers.

Kill me now.

Maybe we should kneel every play?

Like Dandy Don used to say: Turnovers will kill you.

About time it was somebody else. Hopefully that is a sign of some maturity in our offensive guys.

FUATT- you must quit being so negative. People do not like negative posts/stats regardless how true/accurate they are. Please try be more positive. :lol: :lol:

Well... it's kind of positive. The underlying point is, if we don't have the turnovers we win those two games.

All of sudden we are 5-5 and playing for a winning season this weekend.

And then just one break at Wofford... like, maybe no red zone fumble on that second drive... 6-4.

Not counting the paycheck game, we have really only been out of two games.

So, if we can clean up operations... and with all that experience... next year is bright.

I have been pretty negative about the year since our early losses. I could see the writing on the wall- though I know it's an unlucky combination of factors rather than a talent disparity or a coaching problem.

I really think that the potential for a healthy FU team next year is more than most in the SoCon realize. We will catch some people off guard if everyone returns healthy.

I will be in Maconga this Saturday and I do not expect to be slaughtered. If we play our best game of the year, we may see Bear tears.

FU All the Time
