[QUOTE="jrichisamazing, post: 1322069, member: 8500"] That WKU night game is giving me terrible flashbacks of the LaTech game a few years ago. I think it was 2012. Fans and and players were hyped up for a game under the lights, perfect weather September evening, and we get crushed by a non power 5. But it's a new era! The problem is a 3-0 start really wouldn't send as much of a message as it should. USF and WKU are both expected to be good teams, but all the average fan sees is 2 non power 5 schools. Just like Western Michigan last year. Unfortunately in the public eye it's a no-win situation. Go 1-2 and we get laughed at, go 3-0 and nobody cares because they think it's an easy schedule. [/QUOTE]
