if Buffalo breaks on top by 10 or more, we are done.
Adrian will start forcing the ball.
It's not that I disagree with this view ...
But really think about how true this is ... and see the state of the program. We are playing Buffalo ... not the Bills, but the Bulls. If we get down by 10 points our four year starter will begin to force the ball. Our young and good OL won't control the line against a smaller school to open up holes when needed.
Even we, as fans, are saying it's over if we get down by 10 points ... TO BUFFALO. This isn't OU or OSU, it's BUFFALO.
Obviously, one side of me says, Hunter49, wait just a second, there is a whole game, four quarters of play. You can't say that if we get down by 10 points it's over. And yet, with all our mistakes ... who really knows. None of us know. I enjoyed the optimism that came out of the Fordham game. Frankly, I think whatever confidence was gained is probably more of a phantom or shadow towards any real success ... but that is why I don't want to have a Fordham game under the players belts. I don't think those types of games are going to prepare us for B1G play. They just provide a team like us and where we are at with a padded W. There is no glory in that win for a fan like me [it is more of a humbling thing]. I can't stomach it ... so much so, I didn't watch the game nor any of the highlights. I'm just dead to it.
My perceptions are that most of the board realizes that we really aren't good enough to be in the Top 3 of the West in the B1G ... and that this game is a toss-up. It will come down to our mistakes. In other words, we are good enough to control our destiny in this one and win ... BUT WILL WE. So, I can't say we win ... even against Buffalo. This is why emotionally it's tough to get involved because I know what the coaching staff lacks in preparing and then making adjustments to the other team and/or any botched mistakes.
Good luck Big Red in this one. I'll check in on the score in this one ... but don't think I will watch it.
