Understanding This Team's Score
Strengths
- Road win at Sam Houston (16–3)
- Beat Missouri State by 21 points in their most convincing win
- Winning by an average of 17.0 points against FBS opponents — comfortable and in control
- Held Sam Houston to just 3 points — a suffocating defensive effort
Areas for Improvement
- Home loss to Delaware is a blemish on the résumé
- Offense has been a major concern, averaging just 16.9 points per game
- Giving up 34.6 points per game — defense needs improvement
- Dropped a game against New Mexico St (34–13), a 4.3/10 opponent they should have beaten
- Blown out by 50 points against Georgia — 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
- Being outscored by 17.7 points per game against FBS opponents — the numbers don't lie
- Been blown out 4 times this season — there are real questions about the team's depth and resilience
- Coming off a 14-point loss to Delaware — not a good look going forward
- Was held to just 0 points by Indiana — the offense can be completely shut down
- Allowed 70 points to Georgia — a historically bad defensive performance
