I've said it on BTB Radio and I still feel like USM isn't as good as their record indicates.
Let's look at their schedule:
Miss. State: L 34-16
Austin Peay: L 52-6 (who is winless on the year)
at Texas State: W 56-50 (2-5 on the year)
at Nebraska: L 36-28 (3-5 on the year)
North Texas: W 49-14 (winless)
at Marshall: L 31-10 (7-1) - and haven't played a tough schedule either
UTSA: W 32-10 (1-6) - away from the Alamodome they are not very good
Charlotte: W 44-10 (2-5) - wins over Presbyterian and Georgia State
UTEP today and let's be honest -- the Miners suck.
at Rice next week (see above)
Old Dominion - how did USM get this simple schedule?
