We beat a team that hasn't won an FBS game since 2014 and now you're looking ahead to beating two against ranked teams? I'm glad we won last week, but I've seen nothing to indicate that this team will even be competitive in Knoxville.

Though, using App State, a kind of recent opponent as a gauge, I think Ohio can be competitive. Tenn scored 20 on App State, Ohio managed 29. Problem is App State scored 31 on Ohio, but, could only manage 13 vs Tenn. Tenn trailed Va Tech until the Tenn D recovered 5 Va Tech fumbles, three unforced. This is worth about as much as a Vegas line, 0. "Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men."

I would have guessed it happened several times in the program's history.

We do have to overcome weak kickoffs and inconsistent corner play. This is a winnable game. The big guys will have to win it for us on both lines. Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.

Toledo and CMU could be ranked by the time we play them. MAC title game could be against a ranked opponent. All I said is we have a shot an opportunity this year to play against a few ranked opponents and perhaps take down a Top 25 team for the first time.

You graduate in 71? I've seen crazier things happen.
