Beat Tulane and Memphis and we'll be fine. 

Take one of those two and we'll be fine.  I truly think if that happens, we can run the table to a 9-3 record and be in the AAC champ game.

And then because we are prioritizing speed over quality, we end up running something just to run a play and the drives stall. Brown had 14 rushes for 27 yards. More rushing attempts than the RBs combined. It seems we, by necessity, have to have a limited playbook for this type of offense. 
 

The 2nd half collapses are aided by the fact that we don’t control time of possession. Both sides of the ball are exhausted. Offense because their running wind sprints and the defense because they are always on the field.

Yeah my critique isn’t to say that it can’t work, it obviously can, especially against over matched opponents but seems like there is a potentially fatal flaw to it.
 

To your point the next couple of games are going to be real interesting to see how things go against conference peers. Have to demonstrate we can beat teams winning teams. I know Syracuse was a winning team but that game does get an * because of the turmoil they had leading up to the game (they effectively had no QB)

Definitely has a potential fatal flaw, if it didn't a lot more teams would probably give it a shot.

i expect us to go atleast  6-2 for the rest of the year

Wins against UAB, Tulsa, Charlotte, FAU, and Rice. These teams are awful this year. Could always lose one of these

Navy, Tulane, and Memphis will be tough games, but see us winning 2, or at least one of those 3.

No team we are playing for the rest of the season is currently ranked or even top 35 right now, so we will get the opportunity to go on a run.

Going 8-4 on the season would be progress.

Take my prediction with a grain of salt since I did predict or had the feeling that we would beat Miami this weekend
