I don't expect to beat USM.
WKU concerns me. They are more like a 3-5 or 4-4 type CUSA team. Not very good, but not as bad as their record either. Eckels, their regular starter at QB, returned after suffering an early season injury. He looked okay at times, and not so good, vs. MTSU the other night. If he stays healthy he should be back in form by the time we play them. WKU also has a good defense.
I expect to beat Rice, but it won't be a blowout like it should be. More like 31-20. Lackluster, "did enough not to lose" type of performance.
In the bigger picture, how can anyone with an ounce of pride be satisfied with being ranked 94th?
