Their schedule is weaker than ours, but it is still ok. Only one opponent in nine games scored more than 14 on them, the Pirates of ECU. They held three teams to just a field goal.
Not saying we shouldn’t win, we are by far the better team. But they are a capable opponent and they are up for this - I have West Point pals, and their fan base is very excited.
It’s on Marcus, to have the Irish show up focused and ready for a disciplined and respectable challenge. Hoping he’s the coach to do that.
