FIU all alone in the bottom 10 this week
http://espn.go.com/college-football/stor...en-leaders
#7 FIU "Where are you when I need you the most?" F_U will have to take at least a one-week hiatus, as FAU earns a Bottom 10 reprieve after its win over Troy. FIU might have to wait until its Nov. 16 matchup with the Owls before getting similar treatment
and no one in waiting!

We really need to keep FIU in that poll, I want that third win.

Regardless of what happens this weekend, I think South will get at least 3 wins. Im giving you a decent shot at most of your remaining league games. You dont play WKU this year, and kept ULM and ASU close.
South turned it on a bit late, but you are finally playing real FBS football now...

I like how we are playing now, but..... we still only have wins over Nichols and FAU. I think its possible we lose out (numbers, experience, etc.) but FIU at home and @Hawai'i look winnable. @ UNT, @ULL, and MTSU would be mild to strong upsets. We just need to figure out a way to tighten up our pass defense.

I can't speak for other jag fans but I consider the season a success. We've shown we can improve and compete, any more wins would just be gravy for me.

You can certainly beat us. We can lose to anyone-- as witnessed in our first game. We can probably also beat a Top 25 team-- just depends on which team shows up.
If we turn it over multiple times (and South does not), you will win the game.

Two large contributing factors to that - new offense, and not settling on a QB until game #5. Now that we have one guy getting the reps, the offense has made significant improvements.
Like Tiguar said, I'm pleased with this season despite the W/L record. We've shown improvement through the season, and we've played most everybody tough. We are still incredibly young, and lack depth in some areas, but it looks like we're on the right track.
