Not much unexpected, however I don't think we should have been leap-frogged by Stony Brook and New Hampshire.

Regardless of how bad Army is, beating an FBS team by 3 touchdowns will get you some respect, as will beating Delaware by 3 scores. I think 15 is about right, definitely not too high. When you give up 52 points at home to a triple option team with two more on the schedule, it will take some quality wins to get back to our usual home in the top 10. I like where we are headed though and if we can prove our ability to defend the option, we will be there when it matters.

Hopefully we get the film of the NCSU vs Citadel game to see how they defensed the option. We did it pretty well against both GaSo and Wofford last year and not as well against Citadel...
