The problem is that many fans, myself included to be honest, started to dream big after the AFA game. We were thinking conference titles and Top 25 finishes.
In reality, our program is hardly in a position to look down at our noses at an opportunity for 6-7 wins and a bowl appearance. Still, it's been a little bit of a downer to be brought back to earth.
CSU's defense is just as bad as UNM's (and ours), so Brett and company will have an opportunity to win a shootout next week. Our biggest potential issue is special teams. We need to kick every kick off out of the end zone for a touchback and pretty much avoid even fielding punts as nothing positive will result.
I don't expect many punts from either side next week though.
