Big 12 is OU and Texas which is gross to type and then a big drop off from the rest of the league.
It might be unrealistic and Cincy could very well kill my hopes this week, but I’m really hoping our young team comes together and puts together a string of wins like some of Campbell’s early teams did.
The knock on Campbell was always that we struggled in September and then played pretty well in October and November. Last year was the opposite. Maybe this team can be a return to form.
If we can manage to get by Cincy this week, we go into the bye week 3-1. After the bye, we travel to Waco to play a Baylor team that seems to have given up. Get past that and we come home to face a Kansas team that, while good, is probably only going to be favored by a couple points at Jack Trice. Then we go to BYU before coming home to face Texas. Hopefully it’s a cold night game. Then we finish in Manhattan for a tough one at K-State.
I’m just saying, if we get past Cincy, it’s not completely out of the realm of possibility that we go into the Texas game at like 5-2 or even 6-1 if we’re really lucky. If that’s the case, we’ll theoretically at least still be in the conference race.
Realistically, we’re a young team and will likely have ups and downs, but I can still dream.
