I'm not going to hypothesize about what I think may or may not happen because honestly, I have no clue on how this team will respond to Saturday night's game against Coastal. On paper, this is the 2nd worst defense we'll see all season (behind Arkansas State). However, there's a cavernous difference between their offensive output this season and ours.
