Thanks to our ugly loss on Saturday, some pundits are writing us off already.  I don't think the Army game will be a blowout, but I hope we win by 3+ TDs, like 31-10.

Regarding the Black Knights’ 47-39 victory over Buffalo contrasted with our loss to U$C last Saturday:
Red Zone scores – 4 for 4; we were 2 of 5
Scored in every quarter; we scored only in 2nd qtr
341 yards rushing; 128 for us
Larry Dixon 20 touches for 174 yds, 8.7 avg, no lost yards; Remound Wright, 11 for 60, 5.5 avg, no lost yards
Passing:  7 of 7 for 125 yards passing; 22 of 30 for 285
Total yards = 466; 413
First downs, 17; we had 21
Third down conversions – 5 of 11; 7 of 14
2 fumbles, 2 lost; 4 fumbles, 2 lost
12 penalties for 105 yds; 8 for 68
Punts – 3 for 114, avg 38; 2 for 54, avg 27
Obviously, we played a top 15 team, so this is not an apples-to-apples comparison.  We need to contain Dixon and shut down their running game a lot better than we did the Toejams’.
