The Road Game Blues

Don't let the subject line fool you as I am very interested to see how Buckshot does this year with 3 straight weeks on the road and then a bye week and then at UVA. Why you might ask? Because last year when we hit the road Buckshot had 16TD's and only 7 INT's and were sitting 4-3. Once we returned home after 3 straight weeks we we were 4-6 and Buckshot had 18 TD's and 16 INT's. The UMASS game should've been a win without any question and Buck through 4 INT's in that game. In those 3 straight road games Buckshot only completed 44% of his passes. Of all the story lines we could be watching, this is the one I will be watching closely.
A few more stats to consider:
These are before the 3 straight road games in each of the past two years:
2018 first 3 road games 7 TD's and 3 INT's with a 56% completion stat and a 1-2 record.
2019 first 2 road games 2 TD's and 2 INT's with a 54 completion stat and a 1-1 record.
Buckshot has improved since last year and I look for those road game blues to turn around over the next 4 games.
