Better teams do lose. It happens.
But we weren’t better than usf. They were a shoe string tackle away from scoring 3 consecutive kickoff returns. Their special teams were just better. Our D is still coming together. USF’s D was in our backfield all day long. Yeah, we got yards, but those turnovers were forced. Our qbs and abacks run with the ball away from their body. That is why we lost to tennessee and why we lost to usf. Our guys should hold that ball closer than their incognito browser history.
We weren’t better than pitt. The only thing that kept them from rushing for 300 yards through the A gap in the first half was the length of the field.
I love CPJ and the Jackets, but this ‘better team’ crap is costing us games. We need to play like we need to be perfect to win. We need to out hustle other teams because they are more talented.
This better team mentality is what got us öööö canned at 6 losses in a row Duke last year. The mentality of X plays away from being undefeated is why we experienced bowl season via direct tv.
We won’t be the better team in Louisville on Friday. We damn sure better play like we’re the underdog with nothing to lose.
