Understanding This Team's Score
Strengths
- Solid win over SMU (41–31), a 6.2/10 quality opponent
- Won their last 2 games — trending in the right direction
- Road win at Syracuse (34–26)
- Beat Florida State by 24 points in their most convincing win
- Winning by an average of 14.0 points against FBS opponents — comfortable and in control
- Consistent offense putting up 35.3 points per game against FBS opponents
- Has scored at least 24 points in every FBS game — the offense never goes quiet
- Never been blown out — every loss has been within 3 points — a gritty team that never folds
Areas for Improvement
- Home loss to Wake Forest is a blemish on the résumé
- 0-3 in one-score games — keep finding ways to lose close ones
- Scored 38 against Ole Miss and still lost (41–38) — the defense has real problems
- 0-1 at neutral sites — can't seem to win away from home turf
