schedule. Two things can both be true. I suspect that 20-25 Power 4 teams would be 1-4 right now against that schedule. Maybe more.
Have we shown improvement? Defensively, yes. Competed well against a VERY physical Pann St team. Offensively, still a dumpster fire.
I see three more winnable games on the schedule - Minnesota, Iowa, Fresno St. And there's always a chance that SC will implode again, like they did last year. Not high on Riley, at all.
