Honestly, there are no excuses even with all the injuries for this Pirates team not to run the table and end up 9-3 with a date in the CUSA title game and a Good Bowl bid. Our final 5 games are against a set of opponents that carry a 6-24 mark overall AND when you factor out wins over non-D1A opponents, their combined record is 3-24. Uggggggly.
The remaining teams on our schedule:
North Carolina State (1-5)
The Wolfpack are horrible and have a bunch of injuries. Their big win came against a 1AA opponent and they have not scored more than 23 points against a D1 opponent.
UAB (2-4)
The Blazers, who will be our Homecoming opponent, had its biggest win and only D1 victory over Tulane, 26-21.
Memphis (2-4)
The Tigers' only D1 win was a nailbiter over powerful winless Marshall 24-21.
Marshall (0-6)
The Thundering Herd have played a tough schedule, but have also got pounded on that tough schedule. Their closest game was the above-mentioned loss to 2-4 Memphis.
Tulane (1-5)
The Green Wave, like the Wolfpack, have not beaten a D1 team this season, though they came close in a game for the ages, losing 17-20 to Army...in Overtime.
