Weak Schedule Again can we take advantage?

[gohawks7470]

Once again our schedule is fairly weak, we haven't been able to take advantage of this in recent years. The only 2 games on the schedule that I would say are likely losses are at Wisconsin and at Nebraska, the rest of them I could reasonably see us winning. Whether or not we do this is a whole different story.

That's an interesting question which I haven't seen discussed here yet

Didn't we take advantage of the weak 2013 schedule?

We play to level of competition regardless so scheduling doesn't matter. Hopefully we don't have to pull a repeat ball state game against Illinois state and wait to play the last 5 minutes of the game.

Compared to the schedules we've had, that one was a gauntlet. They played 2 bcs teams, a ranked Northern Illinois team, and a top 15 wisconsin. Even Minnesota, Michigan, and Nebraska were no pushovers.

I agree. This is a pretty consistent theme. Granted we have had the cupcake blowouts but against even the moderately poor teams getting a 10-14 point lead and coasting with your foot on the brake will bite you in ass.
