Understanding This Team's Score
Strengths
- Perfect 4-0 at home — a fortress
- Road wins at Air Force and Sacramento State — not afraid to travel
- Capable of dominant performances — beat Wyoming by 28 points
- Winning by an average of 19.0 points against FBS opponents — comfortable and in control
- Solid defense limiting FBS opponents to 14.3 points per game
- Held Wyoming to just 0 points — a suffocating defensive effort
- Positive 12.0-point scoring differential against FBS opponents — winning the right way
- Never been blown out — every loss has been within 6 points — a gritty team that never folds
Areas for Improvement
- Lost 2 games by a score or less — clutch moments have been costly
- Résumé is thin — averaging 4.4/10 opponent quality across FBS wins
- Was held to just 7 points by UNLV — the offense can be completely shut down
