Thursday 10/7

Houston @ Tulane ESPN

Friday 10/8

Temple @ #_ Cincinnati ESPN

Saturday 10/9

SMU @ Navy CBSSN

ECU @ UCF ESPN+

Memphis @ Tulsa ESPN2

I got more questions than answers amongst the games this week:

What has happened to Tulane?

How did Temple beat Memphis? Will that translate to the Cinci game?

Is Navy back after beating UCF?

Can ECU get 4 in a row?

How does UCF respond?

What has happened to Memphis the last few weeks?

...Can Tulsa get them?

Houston @ Tulane ESPN
MY LINE: Houston 45-23 Tulane slipping hard...

Friday 10/8

Temple @ #_ Cincinnati ESPN
MY LINE: Cinci 45-17 I need more than a Memphis win to convince me that Temple has a shot in this game.

Saturday 10/9

SMU @ Navy CBSSN
MY LINE: SMU 35-23 Navy just got by on a weakened UCF team and that is not enough to convince me they are back and SMU has been looking good.

ECU @ UCF ESPN+
MY LINE: ECU 31-27 Playing the ECU riding the 3 wins in a row streak for some MO' to get it done at UCF.

Memphis @ Tulsa ESPN2
MY LINE: Memphis 34-25 Tulsa has been looking bad, Memphis has had 2 bad Ls in a row...this game is feeling like taking the lesser of two evils.

Well...

MY LINE: SMU 35-23 Navy just got by on a weakened UCF team and that is not enough to convince me they are back and SMU has been looking good.
REALITY SAID: SMU 31-24 Hmm, is Navy at the beginnings of figuring out their issues?
3-0

ECU @ UCF ESPN+
MY LINE: ECU 31-27 Playing the ECU riding the 3 wins in a row streak for some MO' to get it done at UCF.
REALITY SAID: UCF 20-16 Completely floored this game was so low scoring. I can't believe ECU let this one go like they did.
3-1

Memphis @ Tulsa ESPN2
MY LINE: Memphis 34-25 Tulsa has been looking bad, Memphis has had 2 bad Ls in a row...this game is feeling like taking the lesser of two evils.
REALITY SAID: Tulsa 35-29 What is up with Memphis of late? Tulsa seems to be finding a pulse....
3-2

Well...

Lots of what ifs IMO.

SMU took a knee on first, second and third down to run out the clock at the Navy 5yd. line, so by all rights the score should have been 38-24 right in your wheelhouse.

SMU took three knees because that's exactly what "should have been" done when Tanner was shook having given up a pick and a strip-sack-scoop-score already.

Get outta here with that BS

Didn't mean to offend, just pointing out that SMU would likely have scored another TD if more than a minute was left left on the clock...

I'm not really offended, but that's a mighty big IF.
The game situation was what the game situation was. The better team won.
