Understanding This Team's Score
Strengths
- Road win at Missouri State (30–24)
- Shut down South Alabama, holding them to 13 points
Areas for Improvement
- Home loss to Coastal Carolina is a blemish on the résumé
- Struggling to score — averaging only 19.3 points per game
- Giving up 30.0 points per game — defense needs improvement
- Dropped a game against Coastal Carolina (27–21), a 4.0/10 opponent they should have beaten
- Blown out by 45 points against Penn State — a lopsided loss that raised real questions
- Negative 10.7-point scoring differential against FBS opponents — losing the points battle across the season
- Been blown out 2 times this season — there are real questions about the team's depth and resilience
- Was held to just 0 points by Penn State — the offense can be completely shut down
- Gave up 45 points to Penn State — the defense has been torched at least once
