I think the only Big South game that we are really outmatched in is and may not have a real chance is Liberty....GW, VMI, and CSU (even thoug they seem to be decent) are all beatable teams...I'll hold judgement for CCU until after their game this saturday against LU

Granted we should have beaten Western and maybe we'll learn to kick FGs for Big South play. Our biggest issue seems to be the general concept of finishing. We've gotten in the red zone far more times than we've come away with points of any kind. From the App. State game, we were inside their 5 midway through the 3rd going in for the go ahead score and we couldn't finish. We had Armanti wrapped up several times saturday night and let him get away and make a huge play (a certain 72 yard bomb for a TD comes to mind). We've got to learn how to finish plays and finish games.

I think we are by far through the toughest part of our schedule....if we can throw for almost 400 yards against teams like Wofford (350+/-) and App. State (375), and can have 400+ yards of offense against the WCUs of the world, there is no reason why we can't compete with every Big South team.....and it starts with a warm up this week against North Greenville/Liberty-south University. Of course then again, if the PC team that played Elon shows up, it's possible we could finish this year at 1-11 or 2-10. It's hard to judge how this team will come out, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now....

We must continue to believe that we will be successful and support the program as we continue to grow.

All that being said, it's time to go out and win a bunch of games now that we have finished with this stretch of the schedule. The rest of the year we face teams that we either should beat or at the very least have a chance to beat if we play our best.

I'm guessing CSU is looking pretty good, all signs point to them being a much improved team.
