I'm like you, I was pretty concerned about this team a couple weeks ago, but it turned around with the Dayton game and inserting Thompson into the starting lineup. They are playing better defense and much more fluid on offense.
The opportunity is certainly there to be 10-3 resuming league play where we're already 2-0.
Western MI is 2-6, but 3 of those losses are to Ohio State, Northwestern & Notre Dame; they also had an OT loss to ND State in their opener. They are averaging less than 65 ppg. Their wins are to Southeastern Louisiana by 2 and also beat Mercer.
YSU is now 97 in net rankings and WMI sits at 298.
After the 2 non D1 games is Navy, which is currently 2-5 and is 283 in the net.
