You struggle with math, don't you?

Also, they lost to Southern Utah.

Not at all, they beat them by 8. My apologies for by looking up the score.

You must struggle with reading comprehension since the post about the one you quoted I said I wasn't nervous about them.

Dude, we lost @Oregon and then @Florida the next week. This obviously means this team is horrible with horrible coaches.

We're losing to South Alabama.

Didn't you see they beat the same WKU team we beat by 32?

It's like you guys don't think it be like it is, but it do.

We didn't just lose to Oregon, we were embarrassed by Oregon. We lost to a bad Florida team. We should beat S Alabama with no problems, but that does not mean we are not a bad football team.

You really might want to see a Doctor.

Seriously, I don't know you but I'm worried.

usually the games that people think are the unlikely threats, end up being anything but. I have noticed in college football there is always these 'sexy" underdog picks that people make, Herbstreit has whiffed on about all of them so far. I just think our D is gonna get better and better and force turnovers and get us wins and keep us in some games. I think the team will get better as the season goes on. UT wins by 17 or more.

Our offensive line should be ashamed of themselves through 4 games. It is time to open up some holes in the running game now dammett!

They beat WKU and lit them up for over 400 yards passing and close to 160 on the ground. They are 2-1 and one loss by one point due to a last second field goal. I know we are SEC and all that..but I hope these guys are not looking to the Georgia game and get whipped by a team that would like to make a statement. Just saying, I don't see a pushover considering how bad we are on both sides of the ball right now. :hi:

Where did you get these stats?? They're way off. They passed for 270 and rushed for 144. I know theyre decent but geez lets not just make up numbers to make them better than they are. Western Kentucky actually outgained them, but had 3 turnovers.

The quote he was responding to was comparing statistics between the UT & USA teams so far this year, thus that was taken into account. It is quite reasonable to point out that, in the statistical comparisons, there is a HUGE difference in strength of schedule.

The only thing I'm nervous about is watching Vereen come in and eat one of their tackles for breakfast.

I'm worried he'll eat too fast and get indigestion. Boy's hungry.

The best thing is he came back, with indignance, and triumphantly declared that he looked up the score... and determined that they beat them by 8.

Florida's defense is far from awful. We struggled to score against their back up secondary.

You called the team awful.

Half of Florida's team is their defense.

Their defense is far from awful.

Therefore, their team is not awful as half of it at a minimum is far from awful.

Wait.

I'm arguing logic with someone who repeatedly struggles with basic math.

I can't for the life of me figure out why someone would be concerned that we might come out and give away a few turnovers and keep USA in the game.:whistling:

I called the team bad. They are bad and will lose multiple more games. They still have a very good defense who even though missing several key parts at the end of the game still caused us to struggle.

I can't for the life of me figure out why someone would equate USA's defense to Florida's and Oregon's. Look up UT's turnover differential to the opponent's other than those, and explain why you are expecting UF/UO results from USA.

It was still a quality defense that fielded 8 defenders on every play, intent on stopping their opponent.

I mean 14. Fourteen defenders.

I mean, whatever. Whatever...

The problem with that theory is many of our turnovers have been the result of our own miscues as opposed to pressure from an opposing defense. If you read my earlier post that seems to be causing an issue you will see that nothing in that post compares USA to UF or UO and I made mention of the fact we have played much stronger opponents must be considered. My fault I suppose for not taking more time to simplify the post. It DOES say that as long as we do not cause our own problem we should be in good shape this week.
