Understanding This Team's Score

Strengths
  • Won their last 2 games — trending in the right direction
  • Road win at Western Kentucky (35–21)
  • Beat Missouri State by 23 points in their most convincing win
  • Winning by an average of 15.0 points against FBS opponents — comfortable and in control
  • Erupted for 61 points against Missouri State — capable of putting up historic numbers
  • Shut down Coastal Carolina, holding them to 14 points
Areas for Improvement
  • Home loss to Liberty is a blemish on the résumé
  • Giving up 30.4 points per game — defense needs improvement
  • Dropped a game against Vanderbilt (35–26), a 4.2/10 opponent they should have beaten
  • Blown out by 39 points against Virginia — a lopsided loss that raised real questions
  • Just 0-2 against Power Four opponents — struggles against elite competition
  • FCS win is padding a thin résumé — quality FBS wins are still missing
  • Has yet to beat an FBS opponent rated above 4.3/10 — the schedule has been kind
  • Scored 30 against Middle Tennessee and still lost (33–30) — the defense has real problems
  • Was held to just 3 points by Virginia — the offense can be completely shut down
  • Gave up 42 points to Virginia — the defense has been torched at least once
