I was really shocked to see this on social media: Huff is 2-5 at home against FBS teams. TWO AND FIVE! I didn't double check, but I believe we were favored in every single game:
1. ECU--infamously blow a 17-point lead in about half a quarter. Last quarter riddled with coaching errors and odd decisions. Has walkthrough after the game to prepare for App State game.
2. ODU--sleep walked for almost the entire game, and genuinely got lucky to win in OT
3. FIU--Beat one of the worst D1 programs badly, as almost every single team in the nation would have, including a lot of FCS schools. Got accused of running up the score by Butch Davis after the game. Not the first time Huff has done odd things while winning a game to draw actual criticism from opposing teams' fans and coaches and some of our fans. We haven't won a home D1 game since this game. It was over a year ago.
4. UAB--significant game against an all-together average team. Again, sleepwalked for an entire game. Managed 14 total points.
5. WKU--Blow a 14-point lead and then completely melt down to get totally blown out in a de facto east division championship game. One of the more embarrassing games ever played in the stadium.
6. Louisiana--10-point favorite at home against a genuinely bad team on ESPN2. Show very little desire during the second half. Have zero offensive punch. Score a grand total of 13 points. I can't emphasize enough that Louisiana is not good.
7. Coastal--Again, a favorite at home on national TV. Get down 21 in first quarter. Coastal's D then tries to give us the game for 3 straight quarters, and we are too bad on offense to take the gift. Again, simply not a good team.
TWO AND FIVE. Beyond anything even Snyder put up.
I don't know if people realize how low we are right now. Huge, objective evidence of incompetence. Desperately need to change this.
